In the sky, Lord, Din the Gsky.

Jesse James

traditional

Key: G

GJesse James was a man, the Cfinest in the land

GHe robbed the Glendale trDain

GHe stole from the rich and Cgave to the poor

GHe had a heDart, a soul and a brGain

It was on a Friday night the moon was shining bright

They robbed the Glendale train

And people all did say, from many miles away

It was those outlaws Frank and Jesse James

CJesse had a wife who mourned for his lGife

Three children, they were brDave

GThat dirty little coward who shCot Mr. Howard

Has lGaid Jesse JaDmes in his grGave

It was Robert Ford that dirty little coward

I wonder how he does feel

For he ate of Jesse's bread and slept in Jesse's bed

and he laid Jesse James in his grave

He was standing on a chair just dustin' a picture there

Thought that he heard a noise

He turned his head around and the bullet smashed him down

and they laid poor Jesse on the floor

People held their breath

when they heard about his death

wondered how he ever came to fall

It was Robert Ford, that little coward,

shot Jesse while he hung a picture on the wall

This Land Is Your Land

Woody Guthrie

Key: G

GThis land is Cyour land

this land is Gmy land,

From CalifDornia

to the New York GIsland,

From the Redwood FCorests

to the Gulf Stream waGters;

DThis land was made

for you and Gme.

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,

I looked above me, there in the skyway,

I saw below me, the Golden Valley;

This land was made for you and me.

I roamed and rambled,

and followed my footsteps

Through the sparkling sands of

her diamond deserts,

And all around me this voice kept saying,

"This land was made for you and me."

Oh, my loving Cmother,

when the world's on Gfire,

don't you want God's Dbosom

to be your Gpillow?

Tide me Cover in the Rock of GAges

Rock of DAges cleft for Gme.

Oh my loving father...

As the Sun was shining, and I was strolling

Through the wheat fields waving

and the dust clouds rolling,

I could feel inside me

and see all around me,

This land was made for you and me.

You fascists are bound to Glose

DAll you fascists are bound to lose

You fascists are bound to lose

You're bound to lose, you fascists

Are bound to Glose

Race hatred cannot stop us,

Poll tax and Jim Crow and greed

Marching across these fields

where a million fascists died

I'm going into this battle,

take my union gun

Gonna end this world of slavery

before this war is won

Miss Ferris

John Hartford

Key: D

Now DI had a teacher when GI went to school,

She loved the river, and she taDught about it too.

I'se a Gpretty bad boy, but she cDalled my bluff,

With her gDreat big collection of stGeamboat stuff. Oh, yDeah!

She had log-books and bells and the things like that,

And she knew the old captains and where they were at.

She rode the Alabama and the Gordon C. Green,

As the Cape Girardeau, she was later renamed, Uh-huh.

But her vGery favorite, as you all know,

Was the GoDlden Eagle, Captain Buck's old boat.

ThGis old stern wheeler sank and went to heaven,

When DI was in the fourth grade, in nAineteen forty-seven, Uh-huh!

Well, now, fast people in St. Louis society

A-takin' a trip on the Mississippi

Sleepin' in their bunks after an after-dinner drink

They didn't think the boat would sink. Oh, no!

Well, I know Captain Buck was a very sad man

When that old wooden hull went into the sand

And Miss Ferris was sad for sure

But immediately, her mind went to work. Oh, yeah!

Well, she did some politicking that was tricky and hard

And she got the pilot house for the schoolhouse yard

And so, instead of studying, I became a dreamer

Dreaming 'bout boats and the Mississippi River. Uh-huh.

I had to work real hard to get my school work done

Cause you could not fool Miss Ferris none;

And, if I went to sleep or I were not supposed to talk

Oh, she was a dead shot with a little piece of chalk. Uh-huh!{soc}

Oh me, oh my, how the time does fly.

Time and the river keep a-rollin' on by.

Now, I am not a student and she is not a teacher

But, we both still love the Mississippi River. Uh, huh.

Good Ole Mountain Dew

Key: A

There's a Avending machine

down the road here from me

where you Dput in a quarter or Atwo

You put your money in

and before you begin

you're chugging that Egood ole mountain Adew

They call it that ole mountain dew

And them that refuse it are few

I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug

With that good ole mountain dew

My uncle Mort he's sawed off and he's short

He measures bout four foot two

But he thinks he's a giant when you give him a pint

Of that good old mountain dew

My brother Bill's got a house on the hill

where he buys it by the case or two

And the buzzards in the sky get so sick they can't fly

from smelling that good ole mountain dew
