Wild Rippling Water lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : As I was a walking and a rambling one day, I met a fair couple a making their way. And one was a cowboy, and a brave one was he. And the other was a lady and a fair one was she. The other was a lady and a fair one was she. "Oh where are you going my pretty, fair maid?" "Just down by the River, just down by the shade, Just down by the River, just down by the spring To see the Water gliding and the nightingale sing. To see the Water gliding hear the nightingale sing." They had not been there but an hour or so When out of his satchel came fiddle and bow He played a tune that made the woods ring She said I can't hear the nightingale sing She said I can't hear the nightingale sing He said pretty lady it's time to give o'er O' no pretty cowboy just play one tune more I'd rather hear the fiddle or the touch of one string Than to see the water gliding or the nigh...

Weight Of The World lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : I still see my brother Michael, pressed and polished, shaking hands down at the store Everyone had come to see the all-star hop the greyhound bus and go to war He punched me in the arm to say goodbye It was the first time that I saw our father cry I kept all my brother's letters tied in ribbon in a box beneath my bed Every night I read by flashlight with the covers in a tent above my head His words said "Not to worry, doing fine" It was his way of trying to ease my mind While I was trying not to read between the lines The weight of the world, too heavy to lift So much to lose, so much to miss It doesn't seem fair that an innocent boy Should have to carry the weight of the world Then it was football games and homecoming and picking out our dresses for the prom With my brother in some desert dodging bullets when he wasn't dodging bombs While we went from the land of brave and fr...

The Fallow Way lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : I'll learn to love the fallow way When winter draws the valley down And stills the rivers in their storm And freezes all the little brooks Time when our steps slow to the song Of falling flakes and crackling flames When silver stars are high and still Deep in the velvet of the night sky The crystal time the silence times I'll learn to love their quietness While deep beneath the glistening snow The black earth dreams of violets I'll learn to love the fallow way I'll learn to love the fallow way When all my colors fade to white And flying birds fold back their wings Upon my anxious wondering's The sun has slanted all her rays Across the vast and harvest plains My memories mingle in the dawn I dream a joyful vagabonds The crystal times the silence times I'll learn to love their quietness When deep beneath the glistening snow The black earth dreams in of violets I'll learn to lov...

The Dove lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : The dove she is a pretty bird, she sings as she flies She brings us glad tidings and tells us no lies She drinks the spring waters to make her voice clear When her nest she is building and summer is near Come all you young fellows take warning by me Don't go for a soldier, don't join no army For the dove she will leave you, the raven will come And death will come marching at the beat of a drum Come all you pretty fair maids, come walk in the sun And don't let your young man ever carry a gun For the gun, it will scare her, and she'll fly away And then there'll be weeping by night and by day. The dove she is a pretty bird, she sings as she flies She brings us glad tidings and tells us no lies She drinks the spring waters to make her voice clear When her nest she is building and summer is near

The Blizzard lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Colorado, Colorado When the world leaves you shivering And the blizzard blows, When the snow flies and the night falls There's a light in the window and a place called home At the end of the storm. One night on the mountain I was headed for Estes When the roads turned to ice and it started to snow, Put on the chains in a whirl of white powder, Half way up to Berthoud near a diner I know And the light burned inside, shining down through the snowfall God it was cold and the temperature droppin', Went in for coffee and shivered as I drank it, Warm in my hands in the steam as it rose. Sitting there at the counter was a dark headed stranger, Me and the owner and him keepin warm, Nodded hello and I said it's a cold one Looks like there might be a blizzard tonight - And "yes", said the owner," There's a big storm on the mountain, Good thing we're open, we could be here for hour...

St. James Infirmary lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : It was down by old Joe's barroom, on the corner of the square They were serving drinks as usual, and the usual crowd was there On my left stood Big Joe McKennedy, and his eyes were bloodshot red And he turned his face to the people, these were the very words he said I was down to St. James infirmary, I saw my baby there She was stretched out on a long white table, So sweet, cool and so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this whole wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me When I die please bury me in my high top Stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain The gang'll know I died standing pat Let her go, let her go God bless her Wherever she may be She may search this wide world over Never find a sweeter man as me I want six crapshooters to be my pallbearers Three pretty women to sing a song Stick a jazz band on my hearse wagon...

Prothalamium lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Come, all of you who are not satisfied As rulers in a lone wallpapered room Full of mute birds and flowers that falsely bloom And closets choked with dreams that long ago died Come, let us sweep the old streets like a bride Sweep out the dead leaves with a relentless broom Prepare for spring as if he were our groom For whose light footstep eagerly we bide We'll sweep out the shadows, where the rats long fed Sweep out our shame and in its place we'll make A bower for love, a splendid marriage bed Fragrant with flowers a quiver for the spring And when he comes, our murdered dreams shall wake And when he comes, all the mute birds shall sing And when he comes, all the mute birds shall sing

Out Of Control lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : It seems I've always been in charge before I made the rules and they were followed The men I loved would gather at my door To wait the word for the day I must admit I had my moments When I wished the world would suddenly go mad But then I'd come back to my senses And think how sweet was that freedom I thought I had Out of control you send me I never know where it will end for me You put the lights in my head, a song in my bed Oh, nothing I say can change you You know your way, life is clear to you All I can do when you call me is follow Oh, I am a woman as sensible as can be Out of control, you spin me Take me again, your love is winning me I'd follow you anywhere you say I fell in love with you today

Norwegian Wood lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : I once had a girl Or should I say she once had me She showed me her room Isn't it good Norwegian wood? She asked me to stay And she told me to sit anywhere So I looked around And I noticed there wasn't a chair I sat on a rug biding my time Drinking her wine We talked until two and then she said "It's time for bed" She told me she worked In the morning and started to laugh I told her I didn't And crawled off to sleep in the bath And when I awoke I was alone This bird had flown So I lit a fire Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
