Hard Lovin' Loser Lyrics

Hard Lovin' Loser Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : He's the kind of guy Puts on a motorcycle jacket And he weighs about A hundred and five He's the kind of surfer Got a ho daddy haircut And you wonder how He'll ever survive He's the kind of frogman Wearing twenty pounds Of counter weights and Sinking in the sea like a stone He's the kind of soldier Got no sense of direction And they send him In the jungle alone But when the Frost's on the pumpkin And the litle girls are jumping He's a hard loving son of a gun He's got em waiting downstairs Just to sample his affairs And they call him A spoonful of fun He's the kind of person Going riding on a skateboard And his mind's raging Out of control He's the kind of person Goes to drive a Maserati Puts his key inside The wrong little hole He's the kind of ski bum Tearing wild down the mountain Hits a patch where There ain't any snow He's the kind of cowboy Got a hot trigger fing...

Grandaddy Lyrics

Grandaddy Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Grandaddy look at the gypsies Dancing in the firelight burning so brightly How do they keep themselves warm on such a night? See all the fiddlers twirling While he plays his violin laughing and shouting Have you seen anything like it in all your life? Grandma was cold and chide when we get in She'll wanna know what we've done and where we've been Promise me you'll never tell, ya know your secret's safe with me I can be trusted Wrap me up in your winter coat Wrap me up so tight I never will feel the cold I'll be warm tonight Can we go down to the railroad tracks And watch the train go by shining like silver? I hear the whistle, the train is on it's way Hold me up over your shoulder So that I can see the light over the pine trees How I would like to go riding on the train Tell me the story again about the time you went away You went to Chicago, no one knew where you were Why did you ever come back here after y...

Good King Wenceslas Lyrics

Good King Wenceslas Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Good King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen When the snow lay 'round about Deep and crisp and even Brightly shone the moon that night Though the frost was cruel When a poor man came in sight Gathering winter fuel Hither, page and stand by me If thou knows it telling Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling? Sire, he lives a good league hence Underneath the mountain Right against the forest fence By Saint Agnes's fountain Bring me flesh and bring me wine Bring me fur logs, hither Thou and I will see him dine Here we bear him thither Page and monarch, forth they went Forth they went together Through the rude wind's wild lament And the bitter weather Sire, the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger Fails my heart, I know not how I can go no longer Mark my footsteps, good my page Tread thou in them boldly Thou shall find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly In his master...

From A Distance Lyrics

From A Distance Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : From a distance the world looks blue and green And the snow capped mountains white From a distance the ocean meets the stream And the eagle takes to flight From a distance, there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace It's the voice of every man From a distance we all have enough And no one is in need There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases No hungry mouths to feed From a distance we are instruments Marching in a common band Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace They're the songs of every man God is watching us God is watching us God is watching us from a distance From a distance you look like my friend Even though we are at war From a distance I can't comprehend What all this war is for From a distance there is harmony And it echoes through the land It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves It's the heart of every man It's the ho...

Four Strong Winds Lyrics

Four Strong Winds Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Lyrics: Four strong winds that blow lonely Seven seas that run high All those things that don't change come what may But our good times are all gone And I'm bound for moving on I look for you if I'm ever back this way Think I'll go out to Alberta Weathers good there in the fall Got some friends I can go to working for Still I wish you change your mind If I asked you one more time But weve been thru that a hundred times or more If I get there before the snow flies And if things are going good You could meet me if I send you down the fare But by then it would be winter Aint too much for you to do And those winds sure can blow cold way out there

Fortune Of Soldiers Lyrics

Fortune Of Soldiers Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Was the fortune of soldiers to be always at war Sighting down the barrel at whatever comes? Till the fighters forgot what they're doing it for And reason was lost in the sound of the drums ‘Twas the fortune of soldiers to be always alone Forgetting the faces of all their loved ones Far from their daydreams, far from their homes Love songs were drowned in the sound of the drums Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know by now the dream has come true? When they say peace can never be It's a fantasy, they didn't know about you Don't you know the dream has come true? Don't you know by now the dream has come true? When they said peace can never be They just couldn't see what one dreamer can do ‘T is the fortune of bankers and builders of arms To worship the profit however it comes Up in their towers, sheltered from harm Far from the smoke and the sound of the drums ‘T is the fortune of ...

Fisherman Song Lyrics

Fisherman Song Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : The fisherman are pitchin' pennies In the sand beside the sea The sunrise hits their oilskin boots And their painted boats and me They seem to know the ocean Like a man knows a woman She makes him wait around For half the mornin' for the tide to turn Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day Pull in the nets, Seine haul fisherman Day's for work and night's the time to go dancing They're drinkin' beer and laughin' And squintin' at the sun Waitin' for the gulls to tell them When the fish will come Their faces brown and weathered From all the nets they've run They've learned to wait They always know that the tide will turn Pull on the ropes, Seine haul fisherman Never catches more than he knows he can sell in a day Pull in the nets, Seine haul fisherman Day's for work and night's the time to go dancing Pull in the ropes, Seine haul...

Farewell To Tarwathie Lyrics

Farewell To Tarwathie Lyrics song presented by Judy Collins : Farewell to Tarwathie Adieu Mormond Hill And the dear land of Crimmond I bid you farewell I'm bound off for Greenland And ready to sail In hopes to find riches In hunting the whale Farewell to my comrades For a while we must part And likewise the dear lass Who first won my heart The cold coast of Greenland My love will not chill And the longer my absence More loving she'll feel Our ship is well rigged And she's ready to sail The crew they are anxious To follow the whale Where the icebergs do float And the stormy winds blow Where the land and the ocean Is covered with snow The cold coast of Greenland Is barren and bare No see time nor harvest Is ever known there And the birds here sing sweetly In mountain and dale But there's no bird in Greenland To sing to the whale There is no habitation For a man to live there And the king of that country Is the fierce Greenland bear And there'll be no temptation To ta...
