Old School Songs. Half a bitter for the vicar. He's here to save your soul. He's looking fat and jovial. Though he's nearly on the dole. Anne Riley cooks his dinner.
And the light I find reflected. Guides the way among the hearts left by the road. By the way you seem affected. I can almost taste the bitterness you show.
Summer skies are gone for ever. Nothing left but to remember. Morning leaves a bed of echoes. Tears of blood in weaping meadows. Can you see me, can you hear me.
Chorus:. Green grow the laurels, soft as the dew. Sad I was, darling, on parting from you. Perhaps in the future our love will renew. We'll love one another and promise to be true.
There was a gypsy came over the land,. He sang so sweet and gaily.. He sang beneath the wild wood tree. And charmed the great lord's lady.. . The lord he did come home.
It's a lesson too late for the learning. Made of sand, made of sand. In the winking of an eye my soul is turning. In your hand, in your hand. . Are you going away with no word of farewell?.
If your eyes are blue you know the rest. Champagne if it's very cool. It's never very formal how you dress. For oysters by the swimming pool. Then slip away into the mountainside.
My father he rides in your ships;. And I know he would never mean harm,. But to see both sides of a quarrel. Is to judge without haste or alarm. . Chorus.
As I walked under london bridge. One misty morning early,. I overheard a fair, pretty maid,. Lamenting for her geordie.. . ''my geordie will be hanged with a golden chain,.
Everybody else has gone,. But you're still here with me.. All the world is sleeping by and by.. Through the windowpane. The frosted light is streaming in,.
May God bless and keep you always,. May your wishes all come true,. May you always do for others. And let others do for you.. May you build a ladder to the stars.
How often she has gazed from castle windows over. And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall. With no-one to heed her call. . The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun.
I've watched you rise up and I've watched you fall down. 'Til you've lost everything but what money can own.. And you feel alright now, but for how long?.
It seems like a lifetime since I saw you. Lover lover I've been away too long. When I see lovers holdings hands and sighing. I hang my head for shame of doing wrong.
Although the flames they are so dim,. I can see them from over here.. But this is no time to worry now,. No time to shed a tear.. The people are all smiling,.
Four-and-twenty highland men. Come from the carron side. To carry away eppy moray for. She would not be a bride, a bride,. She would not be a bride.. .
Farewell, farewell to you whod hear. You lonely travelers all. The cold north wind will blow again. The winding road does call. . And will you never return to see.
Rain comes from the east one night. We watch it come. To hang like beaded curtains till the morning sun. Water dripping from our clothes. You, with raindrops on your nose,.
See the boys out walking,. The boys look so fine,. Dressed up in green velvet. Their silver buckles shine.. Soon they'll be bleary eyed. Under a keg of wine..
I was born in east virginia,. North carolina I did go.. There I met the fairest maiden. But her name I do not know.. . Her hair it was a brightsome color.
