Listen to the Mockingbird Everybody have you heard He's gonna buy me a mockingbird And if that mockingbird don't sing He's gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine He's gonna surely break this heart of mine And that's why I keep on tellin' everybody..... Hear me now and understand He's gonna find me some piece of mind And if that piece of mind won't stay I'm gonna find myself a better way And if that better way ain't so I'll ride with the tide and go with the flow And that's why I keep on shoutin' in your ear..... Everybody have you heard She's gonna buy me a mockingbird And if that mockingbird don't sing She's gonna buy me a diamond ring And if that diamond ring won't shine Gonna surely break this heart of mine And that's the reason why I keep on tellin' everybody... Listen now and understand She's gonna find me some piece of mind And if that piece of mind won't stay I'm gonna get myself a better way I might rise above, I might go below Ride with the tide and go with the flow And that's the reason why I keep on shouting in your ear... |
Turkey In The Srraw As I was a-goin' On down the road With a tired team And a heavy load I cracked my whip And the leader sprung I says day-day To the wagon tongue Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw Went out to milk And I didn't know how I milked the goat Instead of the cow A monkey sittin' On a pile of straw A winkin' at His mother-in-law Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw I came to the river And I couldn't get across So I paid five dollars For a big bay hoss Well, he wouldn't go ahead And he wouldn't stand still So he went up and down Like an old saw mill Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw Did you ever go fishin' On a warm summer day When all the fish Were swimmin' in the bay With their hands in their pockets And their pockets in their pants Did you ever see a fishie Do the Hootchy-Kootchy Dance? Turkey in the straw Turkey in the straw Roll 'em up and twist 'em up A high tuck a-haw And hit 'em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw |
Bye Bye Blackbird Pack up all my care and woe, Here I go, Singing low, Bye bye blackbird, Where somebody waits for me, Sugar's sweet, so is she, Bye bye Blackbird! No one here can love or understand me, Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me, Make my bed and light the light, I'll be home late tonight, Blackbird bye bye. Pack up all my care and woe, Here I go, Singing low, Bye (bye) bye (bye) blackbird. (tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo) Where somebody waits for me, Sugar's sweet, so is she, Bye (bye) bye (bye) blackbird. (tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo tchoo) No one here can love or understand me, Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me, (Oh oh oh oh) Make my bed, light that light, I'll be home late tonight, Blackbird... Make my bed and light the light, I'll be home late tonight, Leave you bird jet in the sky Toodle oo! Farewell! Bye bye! Blackbird (Blackbird,Blackbird) |
Tennessee Birdwalk Take away the trees and the birds will have to sit upon the ground Take away their wings and the birds will have to walk to get around Take away their birdbaths and dirty birds will soon be everywhere Take away their feathers and the birds will walk around in underwear Take away their chirp and the birds will have to whisper when they sing Take away their common sense and they'll all be heading southward in the spring Chorus Oh remember me my darling when spring is in the air and the bald headed birds are whispering everywhere You can see them walking southward in their dirty underwear That's Tennessee Birdwalk How about some trees so the birds won't have to sit upon the ground How about some wings so the birds won't have to walk to get around How about a birdbath or two so the birds will all be clean And how about some feathers so their underwear no longer will be seen How about a chirp so the birds won't have to whisper when they sing And how about some common sense so they won't be blocking traffic in the spring |
If you have one or know of any, send them in. |
