A Soalin' - Peter Paul & Mary
Hey ho, nobody home,
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry
Hey ho, nobody home.
Hey ho, nobody home,
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry
Hey ho, nobody home.
Hey Ho, nobody home.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.
God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also
and all the little children that round your table grow
The cattle in your stable and the dog by your front door
and all that dwell within your gates We wish you ten times more.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.
Go down into the cellar and see what you can find
If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind
We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber'
For we'll come no more a 'soalin' till this time next year.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.
The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin.
I have a little pocket to put a penny in.
If you haven't got a penny, a ha' penny will do.
If you haven't got a ha' penny then God bless you.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.
Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace..
This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

Apologize - Peter Paul & Mary
G C G
I would like to apologize for my friend, here
G C F
He hasn't been himself for a long, long time.
D7 G Bm
From the beginning of his minding
G7
other people's dids and don'ts.
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
He could excuse himself but he won't
D7 G C G
And I'm sorry if we busted up your party.
C G
Yes, there was a girl in his life, and then some
C F
He was had by her and a good time by all.
D7 G
She was exactly half at fault
Bm G7
he thought the other was his own
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
So only half the man has grown
D7 G C G
and it's taking him some time to get together.
G C G
He was the first kid on his block to have one
C F
And he wants to share it with you all of the time.
D7 G Bm
He takes advantage of your kindness
G7
says he needs that just to live
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
He doesn't want you to forgive him
D7 G C G
but he thinks you might if you have half a mind to.
G C G
Yes, I think I would enjoy some coffee
C F
I've had a lot to think in the past few days.
D7 G
And if I told you all the ways
Bm G7
my friend and I were not to blame
Cmaj7 Fmaj7
You'd see yourself as just the same
D7 G C G
So I think I'll wait and save that for the next time.

Autumn To May - Peter Paul & Mary
C Bm C D
Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown
C Bm C D
I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run
G Em Bm G Em
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide
G Em Bm C D
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.
G C D
Sing Tarry-O Day,
Em C D
Sing, Autumn to May.
C Bm C D
Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red
C Bm C D
He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head
G Em Bm G Em
He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,
G Em Bm C D
of all the Kings and Queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe.
G C D
Sing Tarry-O Day,
Em C D
Sing, Autumn to May.
C Bm C D
Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather
C Bm C D
I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather
G Em Bm G Em
And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town
G Em Bm C D
to bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound.
G C D
Sing Tarry-O Day,
Em C D
Sing, Autumn to May.
C Bm C D
Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail
C Bm C D
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail
G Em Bm G Em
The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly
G Em Bm C D
and he who tells a bigger tail would have to tell a lie.
G C D
Sing Tarry-O Day,
Em C D
Sing, Autumn to May.

Blue - Peter Paul & Mary
[ Spoken ]
We'd like to sing a children's song for you now, that's unique.
It's the only children's song that we've ever encountered that
contains all three of the basic elements of every single children's
song. The first element is simplicity, so that the child can
understand the song. The second element is pathos, to prepare the
child for later traumatic experiences. And the third element is
repetition, to give the child a false sense of security"
D
I had a dog and his name was Blue
A7 D
I had a dog and his name was Blue
D
I had a dog and his name was Blue
D A7 D
I betcha five dollars he's a good dog, too.
D Bm A7
Singin' here, ol' Blue, you're a good dog, you
D
Ol' Blue come when I blow my horn
A7 D
Ol' Blue come when I blow my horn
D
A' Blue come a' runnin' through the yella' corn
D A7 D
A' Blue come a' runnin' when I blow my horn
D Bm A7 A7
Singin' here, ol' Blue, you're a good dog, you
[ Spoken ]
But!! What if this song were to be changed? Modified by an
unscrupulous modifier of folks songs, whose business it is to make
this type of song palatable for the teenage, delinquent,
mother-my-dog instinct. And then it would be a rock and roll song.
OH, NASTY, UNSCRUPULOUS MODIFIER!!!
Now it would sound something...like this:
Intro:
C Am F G C
[ spoken ]
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
[ sing ]
Am C Am
Well I got a dog and 'is name is Blue,
F G
I betcha five dollars he's a good dog, too,
C Am F G C Am F G
oo oo, yow!
[ spoken ]
Oh no my dog my sweet little dog my putrid little dog Bow wow wow
[ sing ]
C Am D G
oo oo
[ spoken ]
"Well Blue... Why did you leave me sweetheart?
C Am
oo
you promised to write and I I sit
F G C Am F
oo
I sit alone at night now, Sifting sand through my fingers,
G C Am F
oo
(looking for some trace of you). Come back Blue, I, I, I,
G C Am G F
oo oo
I want you I, I, I, I need you .... And I'm Going To Have You!!!
F C
Here, Blue!!!

Flora - Peter Paul & Mary
Intro:
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am
Dm Am Dm Am Dm Am Dm
Dm F C F F G Dm Am Dm
When first I came to Louisville, my fortune there to find,
F Am B F Am Am Dm Am Dm
I met a fair young maiden there, her beauty filled my mind.
F Am Dm Am Am7 Dm Am7
Her rosy cheek, her ruby lips, they gave my heart no rest.
Dm F G Gm Dm F Dm Am
The name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west.
Dm F C F F G Dm Am Dm
I courted lovely Flora, she promised ne'er to go.
F Am B F Am Am7 Dm Am Dm
But soon a tale was told to me that filled my heart with woe.
F Am Dm Am Am7 Dm Am7
They said she meets another man who holds my love in jest.
F G Dm F Dm Am
And yet I trusted Flora, the lily of the west.
Dm F C F F G Dm Am Dm
'Way down in yonder shady grove, a man of low degree,
F Am B F Am Am7 Dm Am Dm
He spoke unto my Flora there and kissed her 'neath a tree.
F Am Dm Am Am7 Dm Am7
The answers that she gave to him like arrows pierced my breast.
F G Dm F Dm Am
I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west.
Dm F C f F G Dm Am Dm
I stepped up to my rival, my dagger in my hand.
F B F Am Am7 Dm Am Dm
I seized him by the collar and I ordered him to stand.
F Am Dm Am Am7 Dm Am7
All in my desperation I stabbed him in his breast.
F G Dm F Dm Am
I'd killed a man for Flora, the lily of the west.
Dm F C F F G Dm Am Dm
And then I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea.
F Am B F Am Am Dm Am Dm
They placed me in a pris'ner's dock and then commenced on me.
F Am Dm Am Am7 Dm Am7
Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest.
F G Dm F Dm
Still I love my faithless Flora, the lily of the west.

Hymn - Peter Paul & Mary
Gm
Sunday morning, very bright,
D
I read Your book by colored light
Em7 A7sus4 A7 D
That came in through the pretty window picture.
D Dmaj7
I visited some houses where they said that You were living
D7
And they talked a lot about You
G
and they spoke about Your giving.
Gm D
They passed a basket with some envelopes;
Em7
I just had time to write a note
A7sus4 A7 D
and all it said was "I believe in You."
Dmaj7
Passing conversations where they mentioned Your existence
D7 G
And the fact that You had been replaced by Your assistants.
Gm D
The discussion was theology, and when they smiled and turned to me
Em7 A7sus A7 D Am7 D
All that I could say was "I believe in You."
D Dmaj7
I visited Your house again on Christmas or Thanksgiving
D7 G
And a balded man said You were dead, but the house would go on living.
Gm D
He recited poetry and as he saw me stand to leave
Em7 A7sus4 A7 D Dmaj7 D7
He shook his head and said I'd never find You.
G Gm D
My mother used to dress me up, and while my dad was sleeping
Em7 A7sus4 A7 D
We would walk down to Your house without speaking.

From the peacock popinjay bravely born

At the humble heart that he did not prize

Who sipped no sup and who craved no crumb

And he sighed no more for he lived in the love of a lady.

Mon Vrai Destin - Peter Paul & Mary
La la la......
Dans mes reves j'entends une voix
Qui me dit "Ne pleure pas",
Quel dommage mes yeux sont des source claires.
Dans mes reves j'entends une voix
Qui me dit "Ne souffre pas!"
Quel dommage mon me n'est pas de pierre.
Mais les voix de mes fantomes ne connaissent pas la douleur de l'homme
Pourtant les cloches m'annoncent toujours mon vrai destin.
La la la ......
La la la ......
Dans notre maison fragile et grise
Nous partageons le reve d'la vie
Et la lune souriait sur l'innocence
Dans un monde plain de nean
Meme les promesses sont du vent
Et le soliel parfois se perd dans les nuages
Ne me quitte pas encore,
Ne me laisse pas partir
Pourtant les cloches m'annoncent toujours mon vrai destin.
La la la.....

And his true love was slain as the shaft found its mark

Rolling Home - Peter Paul & Mary
Truth, with all it's far out schemes,
let's time decide what it should mean
It's not the time but just the dreams that die.
And sometimes when the room is still,
time with so much truth to kill,
Leaves you by the window sill so tied
Without a wing, to take you high, without a clue to tell you why.
Now, I just want to keep my name,
not bother anybody's game
Without ideas of gold or fame or insane heights.
I don't want a lot of money, I don't want a Playboy Bunny,
Just a love to call me honey late at night,
In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night.
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
They're so afraid of being old, so scared of dying,
so unknown And so alone, rollin' home.
Well, I see the ones who crawl like moles
who for a front would trade their souls,
A broken mirror's the only hole for them
And for you who'd exchange yourselves, just to be somebody else,
Pretending things you never felt or meant
Hey, You don't live what you defend, you can't give so you just bend.
Now if you care what people think, like they supplied some missing link;
They'll just stand back and watch you sink so slow.
They'll never help you to decide, they'll only take you for a ride,
After which they'll try and hide the fact that they don't know
What you should do, where you should go,
What you should do, where you should go.
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
They're so afraid of being old, so scared of dying,
so unknown And so alone, rollin' home.
There's nothing big I want to prove,
no mountains that I need to move,
Or even claim what's right or true for you.
My sights, my songs are slightly
charred, you might think they miss their mark,
But things are only what they
are and nothing new But for me,
I think they'll do, But for me, I think they'll do.
Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet
They all must see the same sad dreams at night
Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor,
While cause is buried long before the fight
For what was wrong, for what was right,
It's just the strong, who ever says what's right.
But I don't know, I ain't been told, Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
They're so afraid of being old, so scared of dying, so unknown And so
alone,
rollin' home

The Song Is Love - Peter Paul & Mary
First of all, I would like to say a word or two,
I know you won't be thinking this applies to you,
But it's true, and it do.
All your life you have had to sing your song alone,
Not believing anybody could have known
But it's wrong and you know
I've found a song let me sing it with you
Let me say it now while the meaning is new
But wouldn't it be good if we could say it together!
Don't be afraid to sing me your mind
Sing about the joy that I know we can find.
Wind them around and see what they sound like together.
The song is love, the song is love,
The song is love, the song is love.
Last of all I would like to thank you for the word or two,
Spoken in the moments when I needed you
To see me through and they do.
I've found a song let me sing it with you
Let me say it now while the meaning is new
But wouldn't it be good if we could say it together!
