4. Barleycorn
DONE
There were three farmers in the north,
as they were passing by
they swore an oath so mighty
oh that Barleycorn should die
one of them said: drown him
and the other sad: hang him high
for whoever will stick to Barleycorn
a-begging he will die
they put poor Barley into a sack
an a cold an rainy day
and took him out to cornfields
and buried him in the clay
frost and snow began to melt
and dew began to fall
when Barleygrain put up his head
and he soon surprised them all
being in the summer season
and the harvest coming on
it's the time he stands up
in the field with a beard like any man
the reaper then came with his sickle
and used me barbarously
he cut me in the middle so small
and he cut me above the knee
the next came was the binder
and he looked at me with a frown
for in the middle there was a thistle
which pulled his courage down
the farmer came with his pitch fork
and he pierced me to the heart
like a thief, a rogue or a highwayman
they tied me to the cart
the thresher came with his big flail
and soon he broke my bones
could grieve the heart of any man
to hear my sighs and moans
the next thing that they've done
to me they steeped me in the well
they left me there for a day
and night until I began to swell
and next thing that they've done
to me they dried me in a kiln
they used me ten times worse,
than that they ground me in the mill
they used me in the kichen,
they used me in the hall
oh they used me in the parlour
among the ladies all
the Barleygrain is a comical grain,
it makes men sigh and moan
for when they drink a glass or two
they forget their wives and home
the drunkard is a dirty man,
he used me worst of all
he drank me up in his dirty mouth
an he tumbled against the wall

10. The Keach in the Creel
A fair young maid went up the street
some white fish for to by
a bonnie clerk's fall'n in love with her
and he followed her by and by
oh where are you going my bonnie lass
I pray thee tell to me
oh if the night be never so dark
I'll come and visit thee
my father locks the door at ten
my mother keeps the key
if you were never such a roving blade
you'd never win – in to me
but the clerk he had a brother
and a wily wag was he
he's made him a long ladder
with thirty steps and three
the old wife she was standing by
she heard a word was said
I could lay my life, says the silly old wife
there's a man in our daughter's bed
the old man he got out of bed
to see if the thing was true
but she's taken the bonny clerk in her arms
and covered him o'er with blue
up then got the old silly wife
to see if it were true
and she fell arselins in the creel
and up the string they drew
if that foul thief has gotten you
may he hold you so tight
for you'll never stay in your bed
nor rest with me at night
he's towed her up, he's towed her down
and given her a right down – fall
till every rib an the old wife's side
played nick – nack on the wall
oh the blue, the bonnie bonnie blue
and I wish it may do well
and every old wife
that's jealous of her daughter
get a good kech in the creel

11. Bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
Of a'the lads in tinwald woun
the lovely fair, the black or broun
there never was sae droll a loon
as bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
my dad a peck o'lint did sow
I gaed top see how it did grow
when wha come skipping owre the knowe
but bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
terry owden dowden day
the queerest loon in laich or brae
is bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
I wandred oot to weed the same
my laddie ken'd I was frae hame
to follow me ha wasna lame
my bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
I took the flax unto the mill
my jewel follow'd after still
and coming hame I gat a gill
frae bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
terry owden dowden day...
at last, a'e night, into the park
I met with him when it was dark
and, oh, the kissin' that I gat
frae bonnie Johnnie Lowrie
but Johnnie's true, he did me wed
yestreen before the priest we gaed
I carena noo for man or dad
sin' I hae Johnnie Lowrie
terry owden dowden day...
a fig, say I, for jacking grown
or priest or elder in the toun
I'll tak' the warld, rough and roun'
wi' bonnie Johnnie Lowrie

12. Down the Line
DONE
I don't have any money
all out of nickels and dimes
ridin' around in the subway
just like a sign of these times
but it's fine down the line
at the end of the tunnel
shines a light I call Sally
and Sally tells me she's mine
any time
Subway to Sally
ridin' from station to station
Sally's my destination
keep your slow boat to China
your jet plane faster than sound
keep your luxury liner
I get around underground
Subway to Sally
ridin' from station to station
Sally's my destination
-------------------------------------
13. But we don't know
DONE
I wish I had a hairdryer
to blow you to the moon
I wish I was a bakerman
curing hunger soon
I wish I had a beaver cap
it looks like Daniel Boone
I keep a wish in my heart
I wish I had a girlfriend
who would drive me away
I wish I was a president
I'd rule the world all night and day
I wanna' see what's never been seen
I wanna' live in angel's dreams
we're never satisfied
but we don't know what we say
I want to see the holy ghost
but he is anywhere at most
I want to paint a red door black
but painting black makes me feel really bad
come on lass' we can go together
let's take the place right now
we're never satisfied
but we don't know what we say
---------------------------------
14. Where is Lucky?
DONE
I'm over here in the sand
a foreign face in foreign land
and every hour is like a year
I'm growin' old while over here
we're all for one and one for all
waitin' for the sky to fall
and when it hits some will die
but if I don't you'll hear me cry
tell me where is Lucky
Lucky was my only friend
I never met the enemy
still I suppose he's just like me
he loves his kids he loves his flag
and fits inside a body bag
and over there on the other side
the other guys can't sleep tonight
the fire's rainin' it's rainin' down
and through it all I hear the sound
tell me where is Lucky
Lucky was my only friend
and if you wanna' tll me something
tell me why we couldn't stay together
