Jerusalem And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our childhood hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariots of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England's green and pleasant land |
| That Loving
Feeling To the tune of you've lost that loving feeling . I can't close my eyes anymore or I get the spins And there's no sensation anymore in my fingertips I'm trying hard not to throw up Soon maybe, maybe I'll grow up I've lost all my feeling Whoaoooa all my feeling I've lost all my feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone Whoaoooaooa Now there's a welcome look in my eyes when I reach for booze And my liver spots and yellow eyes are my drinking dues It makes me just feel like crying (baby) Cause baby, it's last call and I'm buying I've lost all my feeling Whoaoooa all my feeling I've lost all my feeling Now it's gone, gone, gone Whoaoooaooa Porcelain baby, I'll get down on my knees for you If you would only soothe me like you used to do, yeah We had a night, a night, a night you don't have everyday So don't don't don't let memory slip away Barkeep (barkeep) barkeep (barkeep) I need some rum (I need some rum) I need some rum (I need some rum) And bring Labatt's (and bring Labatt's) and bring Labatt's (and bring Labatt's) Bring back that Labatt's feeling Whooa that Labatt's feeling Bring back that Labatt's feeling Cause it's gone...gone..gone And I won't last long Noooaooa |
| Wild Rover Chorus: And it's no nay never No nay never no more Will I play the Wild Rover Nay never, no more. Verses: I played the Wild Rover for many a year And spent all me money on whiskey and beer But now I've returned with gold in great stores And I never will play the Wild Rover no more. I went back to the Ale House I used to frequent And told the landlady me money was spent I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay" She said "Men like you I can have any day". Then out of me pocket I pulled sovereigns bright And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight She told me "I have wines and beers of the best" And the words I spoke earlier were merely in jest. I went back to me parents to confess what I'd done And asked them to forgive their prodigal son Me mother embraced me as oft time before And I never would play the Wild Rover no more.

| Sloop John B We Sailed on the Sloop John B My Grand Pappy and me, Around this old town we did roam, Drinking all night Got into a fight I feel so broke up I wanna go home Chorus So hoist up the John B sail See how the main set sail Call for the Captain ashore let me go home I wanna go home, I wanna go horne I feel so broke up, I wanna go horne Now the Captains a wicked man Gets drunk every time he can He Doesn't give a damn for Pappy and me He kicks us about and he knocks around I feel so broke tip I wanna go home Chorus Now the first mate he got drunk He broke in the Captain's trunk The Constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone I feel so broke up, I wanna go home Chorus The poor cook he got the fits He ate up all of my grits And then he came and he ate up all of my corn I wanna go home I wanna go home This is the worst trip I've ever been on |

| Molly Malone In Dublin's fair city. Where the girls are so pretty I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone As she wheeled her wheel barrow Thro' streets broad and narrow (Chorus) Crying "Cockles and Mussels alive, alive O!" Alive, alive O ! Alive, alive O Crying Cockles and Mussels Alive, alive 0! She was a fishmonger But sure 'twas no wonder,, For so were her father and mother before, And they each wheeled their barrow Thro' streets broad and narrow, (Repeat Chorus) She died of a fever And no one could save her. And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone; But her ghost wheels her barrow Thro' streets broad and narrow (Repeat Chorus) |

| Flower Of
Scotland O Flower of Scotland, When will we see Your like again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit Hill and Glen, And stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again. The Hills are bare now, And Autumn leaves lie thick and still, O'er land that is lost now, Which those so dearly held, That stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again. Those days are past now, And in the past they must remain, But we can still rise now, And be the nation again, That stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again. 0 Flower of Scotland, When will we see your like again, That fought and died for, Your wee bit Hill and Glen, And stood against him, Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward, Tae think again |

| Bread Of
Heaven Guide me, 0 thou great Redeemer, Pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou are mighty. Hold me with thy powerful hand; Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more. Open now the crystal fountain Whence the healing steam doth flow Let the fire and cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through: Strong deliverer. Be thou still my strength and shield. When I tread the verge of Jordan. Bid my anxious fear subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction. Land me 3fe on Canaan's side: Songs of praises I will ever give to thee. |
