Old Joe Clark
1.Old Joe Clark, the preach-er's son,Preached all ov-er the plain,On-ly time I seen him wash,Was when he got in the rain.
Fare thee well, old Joe Clark,Fare thee well I say,Fare thee well, old Joe Clark,Bound to go a-way.2.Old Joe Clark, he had a mule,His name was Mor-gan Brown,And ev-ery tooth in that critter's head,Was six-teen inch-es 'round.
Red Wing
1. There once lived an In-dian maid,A shy lit-tle prair-ie maid,Who sang a-way, a love song gay,As on the plain she'd while a-way theday;She loved a war-rior bold,This shy lit-tle maid of old,But brave and-gay, he rode one day, Tobat-tle far a-way.
Now, the moon shines to-night on pret-tyRed Wing,The bree-zes sigh-ing, the night birdscry-ing,For a-far, 'neath his star her brave issleep-ing,While Red Wing's weep-ing, her heart a-way.
2. She watched for him day and night,She kept all the camp fires bright.And under the sky, each night/shewould lie,and dream a-bout his com-ing by andby,But when all/the braves re-turned,The heart of Red Wing yearned.For far, far a-way, her war-ri-or gay,Fell brave-ly in the fray.
Rocky Top
1. Wish that I was on old Rock-y Top,Down in the Ten-nes-see hills,Ain't no smog-gy smoke on Rock-y Top,Ain't no tel-e-phone bills.
Rock-y Top, you'll al-ways be,Home sweet home to me,Good old Rock-y Top,Rock-y Top, Ten-nes-see.Rock-y Top, Ten-nes-see.
2. Once I had a girl on Rock-y Top,Half bear, the oth-er half cat,Wild as a mink, but sweet as so-da pop,I still dream a-bout that.
3. Once two stran-gers climbed oldRock-y Top,Look-ing for a moon-shine still, Stran-gers ain't come down from Rock-y Top,Reck-on they nev-er will.
4. Corn won't grow at all on Rock-yTop,Dirt's too rock-y by far,That's why all the folks on Rock-y Top,Get their corn from a jar.
