stars.

Oh, they built the ship Titanic and when they were

through

They said this is the ship that the water will

never get through.

But the Lord He raised His hand, said the ship

will never stand.

It was sad when the great ship went down.

It was sad (so sad), It was sad (so sad)

It was sad when the great ship went down to thebottom of the sea... (Husbands & wives, little

children lost their lives)

It was sad when the great ship went down.

They were off the coast of England, and headed for

the shore,

When the rich refused to associate with the poor.

So they sent them down below, where they did not

wanna go.

It was sad when the great ship went down. (Chorus)



26

So they sent those life boats out on the wild and

raging sea.

As the band was playing " Nearer My God To Thee"

Oh the children wept and cried as the waves swept

over the side

It was sad when the great ship went down. (chorus)

Oh the moral of this story, is very plain to see,(Plain to see!)

Always wear a life preserver, whenever you're atsea....

Oh the Lord He raised His hand, (Raised hishand!),

Said that ship would never stand. (Never Stand!)It was sad when the great ship went down. (

Tell me why you're crying my son,

And if you take my hand my son,All will be well when the day is done,

And if you take my hand my son,All will be well when the day is done.

Do you ask why I'm sighing, my son?You shall inherit what mankind has done.In a world filled with sorrow and woe,

If you ask me why this is so... I really don'tknow.

Tell me why you're smiling, my son,Is there a secret you can tell everyone?

Do you know more than those that are wise?Can you see what we all must dis-guise through

your loving eyes?

Yes, You're always welcome at our house,And we hope that you will stay.

A lady came to our house, Our house, Our house

A lady came to find out why we weren't in school.So we asked her to come in and we gave her

poisoned lemonade,And hid her in the freezer where it's nice and

cool. BUT...Then a kid came into our yard, Our yard, Our yard

A kid came into our yard to get his ball.We asked him to come in and we took in the

basement,And we sealed him up inside the cellar wall.

BUT...

So when you come to our house, Our house, Ourhouse

When you come to our house we'll have some fun.

We'll ask you to come in and we'll take you in thekitchen,

And we'll put you in the oven ‘til you’re nice and

done. BUT...

And we know that you will stay. THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.



Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Hide it under a bushel, NO! I'm gonna let it

shine. (repeat)

I'll not let Satan "Whoo" it out, I'm gonna to let

it shine. (repeat)

Strangest Dream

Last night I had the strangest dream, I’ve ever

dreamed before

I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end

to war

I dreamed there was a mighty room and the room was

filled with menAnd the paper they were signing said they’d never

fight again

And when the papers all were signed and a million

copies made,

They all all joined hands and bowed their heads

And grateful prayers were prayed

And the people in the streets below were dancing

round and round

and guns and swords and uniforms were scattered on

the ground

Last night I had the strangest dream, I’ve ever

dreamed before

I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end

to war

today

Today, while the blossoms still cling to the vine

Ill taste your strawberries, I’ll drink your sweet

wine

A million tomorrows shall all pass away

‘ere I forget all the joy that is mine, today

I’ll be a dandy, and I’ll be a rover,

You’ll know who I am by the songs that I sing

Ill feast at your table, I’ll lie in your clover

Who cares what the ‘morrow shall bring

I can’t be contented with yesterdays glory

I can’t live on promises winter to spring

Today is my moment, now is my story

Ill laugh and I’ll cry and Ill sing

Where Have All the Flowers Gone

Where have all the flowers gone? Long time

passing,

Where have all the flowers gone? Long time ago,

Where have all the flowers gone? Gone to young

girls every one

When will they ever learn? When will they ever

learn?



Where have all the young girls gone... gone to

young men...

gone to soldiers... gone to graveyards... gone to

flowers

Where have all the flowers gone... Young girls

picked them every one

When will they ever learn? I guess they’ll never

learn?
