Ain' No Sunshine

 Ain’ no sunshine when she’s gone

Its not warm when she’s away

Ain’ no sunshine when she’s gone

And she’s always gone too long

Any time she goes away

 

Wonder this time where she’s gone

Wonder if she’s gone to stay

Ain’ no sunshine when she’s gone

And this house just ain’t no home

Any time she goes away

 

I know, I know, I know

I know, I know

Hey I ought to leave this all alone

But ain’ no sunshine when she’s gone

Autumn

 

Autumn time

Red leaves fall

While the weeping sky

Looks over all

The maiden sadly walks the land

The dying grasses in her hand

Blessed

Life is hard, work is dirty,

Friends plead poverty,

Fame and fortune takes its own time,

So don't wait up

 

But if you can feel the sun, if you can feel the rain

Life can't be bad

If you got food to eat, and all your dreams to dream

Life can't be bad

If you can walk away and fight another day

Life can't be that bad

 

For all the things that I can do

How could I complain

 

I got no broken wing

I got a song to sing

And I feel blessed 

Blood and Gold

On rides a captain and three hundred soldier lads

Out of the morning mist and through the silent snow

 

Glistening brightly rides the captain at the head

Behind him soldier boys sadly weeping go

 

And when you took my gold and swore to follow me

You sold away your life and your liberty

 

No more you’ll till the soil, no more you’ll work the land

No more to the dance you’ll go and take the girls by the hand

 

Oh mother weep… for your son.  He is gone… to kill or die

You’ll weep you’ll die by the keen edge of the sword

 

All alone by the muddy Danube shore

He gave the orders for the drummers to beat the drums

 

That mothers all might know the life a soldier leads

Unfurl your ragged banner and raise your pale young face

 

You’ll all go in the fire, there’ll be no hiding place

Oh mother hear the drum beat in the village square

 

The drum that drums for me to go a soldier there

Oh mother weep… weep for us.  Martyr’s gain… you die alone.

Caal the Ewes tae the Knowes

Caal the ewes tae the knowes

Caal them where the heather grows

Caal them where the burnie rows

My bonnie dearie

 

Hark the mavis’ evenin’ sang

Soundin’ Cluden’s woods amang

Then a foldin’ let us gan

My bonnie dearie

 

We’ll gan down by Cluden side

Thro’ the hazels spreading wide

O’er the waves that sweetly glide

To the moon so clearly

 

Yonder Cluden’s silent towers

Where at moonshine midnight hours

O’er th dewy bending flowers

Fairies dance so cheerie.

Canon of Peace

 

Hearken all, the time shall come

When all the world at last the truth shall hear

Then the lion shall lie down with the lamb

Our lances shall be turned to reaping hooks

Swords and guns be cast as plough shares

Nations shall live in lasting peace

All men unite as brothers

 

(Pom pompa pom pom)

Down to the River to Pray

 

As I went down to the river to pray

Studying about that good old way

And who shall wear the starry (/robe and) crown

Good Lord show me the way

 

Oh sisters let’s go down, let’s go down, c’mon down

Oh sisters let’s go down, down to the river to pray

 

Oh brothers let’s go down, let’s go down, c’mon down

Oh brothers let’s go down, down to the river to pray

 

Oh fathers let’s go down, let’s go down, c’mon down

Oh fathers let’s go down, down to the river to pray

 

Oh mothers let’s go down, let’s go down, c’mon down

Oh mothers let’s go down, down to the river to pray

 

Oh people let’s go down, let’s go down, c’mon down

Oh people let’s go down, down to the river to pray

Father Adieu

Father adieu, I am sorry for you

My heart is filled with trouble, now what shall I do

If I never see you any more ‘til that last trumpet shall sound

Prepare to meet in heaven, where parting is no more

 

Mother adieu, I am sorry for you

My heart is filled with trouble, now what shall I do

If I never see you any more ‘til that last trumpet shall sound

Prepare to meet in heaven, where parting is no more

Gaudete

 Gaudete, gaudete!

Christus est natus

Ex aria virgine:

Gaudete!

 

Tempus adest gratiae

Hoc quod optabamus

Carmina laetitiae

Devote redamus

 

Deus homo factus est

Natura mirante

Mundus renovatus est

A Christo regnante

 

Ezechielis porta

Clausa pertransitur

Unde Lux est orta

Salus invenitur

 

Ergo nostra contio

Psallat iam in lustro

Benedicat Domino

Salus Regi nostro

 

Translation (from ‘New Oxford Book of Carols’ 1992)

Rejoice! Rejoice!

Christ is born of the virgin Mary, rejoice!

 

The time of grace has come for which we have prayed

Let us devoutly sing songs of joy

 

God is made man, while nature wonders

The world is renewed by Christ the King

 

The closed gate of Ezekiel has been passed through

From where the light has risen [the East], salvation is found

 

Therefore let our assembly sing praises now at this time of purification

Let it bless the Lord: greetings to our King.

Georgia

 

Georgia on my mind

Georgia on my mind

 

Georgia, Georgia

The whole day through

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

(On my mind, on my mind, keeping Georgia on my mind)

 

Georgia, Georgia

The whole day through

Comes as sweet and clear

As moonlight thru the pines

 

Other arms reach out for me

Other eyes smile tenderly

Still in peaceful dreams I see

The road leads back to you

 

Georgia, Georgia

No peace I find

Just an old sweet song

Keeps Georgia on my mind

Gloucestershire Wassail

 

Wassail, wassail all over the town

Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown

Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree

With a wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

 

So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek

Pray God send our master a good piece of beef

And a good piece of beef that may we all see

With a wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

 

And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye

Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie

And a good Christmas pie that may we all see

With our wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

 

So here is to Broad May and to her broad horn

May God send our master a good crop of corn

And a good crop of corn that may we all see

With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

 

And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear

Pray God send our master a happy New Year

And a happy New Year as e’er he did see

With our wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

 

Then here’s to the maid in the lily white smock

Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock

Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin

For to let these jolly wassailers in.

Happy Together

Imagine me and you, I do

I think about you day and night, it’s only right

To think about to boy you love and hold him tight

So happy together

 

If I should call you up, invest a dime

And you say you belong to me and ease my mind

Imagine how the world could be, so very fine

So happy together

 

I can’t see me lovin’ nobody but you

For all my life

When you’re with me, baby the skies’ll be blue

For all my life

 

Me and you and you and me

No matter how they toss the dice, it has to be

The only one for me is you, and you for me

So happy together

Hark! Hark! Hark!

 

Hark! Hark! Hark!

Hark the herald angels sing

Glory! Glory!

Glory to the new born King!

Peace on Earth and mercy mild

Peace on Earth and mercy mild

God and people reconciled

God and people reconciled

 

Joy! Joy! Joy!

Joyful all ye nations rise

Join the, Join the,

Join the triumph of the skies.

With th’ angelic host proclaim

With th’ angelic host proclaim

“Christ is born in Bethlehem,

Christ is born in Bethlehem!”

 

I feel like going on

 

I feel like going on

I feel like going on

Tho’ trials mount on ev’ry hand

I feel like going on

I Love My Love

 

Abroad as I was walking

One evening in the spring

I heard a maid in Bedlam

So sweetly for to sing;

Her chains she rattled with her hands

And thus replied she;

“I love my love because I know my love loves me!”

 

Oh cruel were his parents

Who sent my love to sea

And cruel was the ship

That bore my love from me;

Yet I love his parents since they’re his

Although they’ve ruined me

“I love my move love because I know my love loves me!”

 

With straw I weave a garland

I’ll weave it very fine

With roses, lilies, daisies

I’ll mix the eglantine

And I’ll present it to my love

When he returns from sea, for

“I love my move love because I know my love loves me!”

 

Just as she there sat weeping

Her love he came on land

Then hearing she was in Bedlam

He ran straight out of hand

He flew into her snow-white arms

And thus replied he

“I love my move love because I know my love loves me!”

 

So now these two are married

And happy may they be

Like turtle doves together

In love and unity

All pretty maids with patience wait

That have got loves at sea

“I love my move love because I know my love loves me!”

I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to be Free

 

I wish I knew how it would feel to be free

I wish I could break all these chains holding me

I wish I could say all the things I should say

Say ‘em loud say ‘em clear for the whole world to hear

 

I wish I could share all the love in my heart

Remove all the bars that still keep us apart

I wish you could know what it means to be me

Then you’d see and agree ev’ryone should be free

 

I wish I could be like a bird in the sky

How sweet it could be if I found I could fly

I’d soar to the sun and look down at the sea

Then I’d sing ‘cause I’d know how it feels to be free.

I'll Be There

 

When the times are darkest

When the way is hardest

Where the need is strongest

Where the road is longest

 

Be there for my sister

Be there for my brother

Be there for my lover

Be there for each other

 

When the night is calling

When the future’s calling

When the truth is dying

When the world is crying

In the Bleak Midwinter

 

In the bleak mid-winter

Frosty wind made moan

Earth stood hard as iron

Water like a stone

Snow had fallen, snow on snow

Snow on snow

In the bleak mid-winter

Long ago

 

Our God, Heaven cannot hold him

Nor Earth sustain

Heaven and Earth shall flee away

When he comes to reign

In the bleak mid-winter

A stable place sufficed

The Lord God almighty

Jesus Christ

 

Angels and archangels

May have gathered there

Seraphim and cherubim

Thronged the air

But only his mother

In her maiden bliss

Worshipped the beloved

With a kiss

 

What can I give him

Poor as I am?

If I were a shepherd

I would bring a lamb

If I were a wise man

I would do my part

Yet what I can I give him

Give my heart

Let it Grow

 Standing at the crossroads

Try’n to read the sign,

To tell me which way I should go

To find an answer and all the time you know

Plant your love ’n’ let it grow

 

Let it grow, let it grow

Let it blossom, let it show

In the sun, the rain, the snow

Love is lovely

So, let it grow

 

Looking for a reason

To check out of your mind,

Find it hard to get a friend

That I can talk to

There’s nothing left to show

Plant your love ‘n’ let it grow

 

Time is getting shorter

And there’s much for you to do

Only asking do you

Get what you are needing

The rest is up to you

Plant your love ‘n’ let it grow.

Life's Purpose

 

Tell me not in mournful numbers; life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers, dead that slumbers

And things are not what they seem

Things are not what they seem

 

Life is real!  Life is earnest!   And the grave is not its goal;

Dust though are, to dust returnest, dust returnest

Was not spoken of the soul

Was not spoken of the soul

 

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow

Is our destined end or way;

But to act, that each tomorrow

Find us farther than today

 

Let us then be up and doing

With a heart for any fate

Still achieving, still pursuing

Learn to labour and to wait.

Lo How A Rose E'er Blooming

Lo, how a rose e’er blooming,

From tender stem hath sprung!

From Jesse’s lin’age coming,

As men of old have sung.

 

It came a blossom bright,

Amid the cold of winter

When half spent was the night.

 

Isaiah ‘twas foretold it,

The rose I have in mind;

With Mary we behold it

The virgin mother kind.

 

To show God’s love aright,

She bore to us a Saviour

When half spent was the night.

 

The shepherds heard the story

Proclaimed by angels bright,

How Christ, the Lord of Glory

Was born on Earth this night.

 

To Bethlehem they sped

And in the manger found him

As angel heralds said.

 

Es ist ein’ Ros’ entsprungen,

Aus einer Wurzel zart,

Wie uns die Alten sungen,

Von Jesse kam die Art,

 

Und hat ein Blumlein bracht

Mitten im kalten Winter

Wohl zu der halben nacht.

Love the One You're With

If you’re down and confused

And you don’t remember who you’re talking to

Concentration slip away

Cause your baby is so far away

 

Well there’s a rose in a fisted glove

And the eagle fly with the dove

And if you can’t be with the one you love

Love the one you’re with (find someone)

Love the one you’re with (you’ve got to)

Love the one you’re with (Ev’rybody)

Love the one you’re with

 

Don’t be angry, don’t be sad

Don’t sit crying over good times you had

There’s a girl tight next to you

And she’s just waiting for something to do

 

Turn your heartache into joy

She’s a girl, and you’re a boy

Get it together, make it nice

Ain’t gonna need any more advice

Ma Bonny Lad

 Have ya seen owt a my bonnie lad,

And are ya sure he’s weel, oh?

He’s gan ower the land with his stick in his hand

He’s gan te moor the keel, oh!

 

Have ya seen

Ma bonnie lad?

 

Yes, a’ve seen your bonny lad,

Twas on the sea Aa spied him;

His grave is green but not with grass

‘n’ thou’lt never lie a side him.

Never Weather Beaten Sail

 

Never weather beaten sail more willing bent to shore

Never tired pilgrim’s limbs affected slumber more

Than my weary sprite now rise out of my weary breast

O fly quickly, O fly quickly, O fly quickly

Sweetest one, and take my soul to rest

 

Ever blooming are the joys of heav’n’s high paradise

Cold age deaf not there our ears, nor vapour dims our eyes

Glory there the sun out shines whose beam the blessed only see

O fly quickly, O fly quickly, O fly quickly

Dearest one, and raise my sprite to thee.

Oak And Willow

 

Oak and willow and mountain ash

Climb the hill to meet moorland grass

Beneath the trees

Paths turn and glide home

And home and homeward bound

One Hand, One Heart

 

Make of our hands one hand,

Make of our hearts one heart,

Make of our vows one last vow;

Only death will part us now.

 

Make of our lives one life,

Day after day one life

Now it begins, now we start;

One hand, One Heart,

Even death won’t part us now.

To Uppingham forsooth will she

And I myself appointed for to be the man

To wait on my lady.

Santa natale bambino mio

If the roof’s beyond repair.

Song of Peace

This is my song, O spirit of all nations;

A song of Peace for lands afar and mine

Here is my home, the country where my heart is;

Here are my hopes, my dreams, my holy shrine.

But other hearts in other lands are beating,

With hopes and dreams as true and high as mine .

 

My country's skies are bluer than the ocean,

And sunlight streams on clover, leaf and pine;

But other lands have sunlight too and clover,

And skies are everywhere as blue as mine.

O hear my song, thou spirit of all nations,

A song of Peace for their land and for mine.

 

Spring

 

Oh lovely spring, are all these flowers for our delight?

The songs of birds and sweet perfume

The nests that are hiding in the wood

And even the silver moon above the lake at night

Take Me Up The Tyne

 

Take me up the Tyne in a little boat, little boat

Take me up the Tyne and I’ll show you where I lived once

Take me up the Tyne in a little boat, little boat

Come and meet the folks I knew

 

Take me out to sea in a little boat, little boat

Take me out to sea and I’ll show you where they’re fishin’

Take me out to sea in a little boat, little boat

Out upon the cold North Sea

 

Who wants to live in a noisy city?

Who wouldn’t want to be set free?

If you can’t get away, then more’s the pity

I’d have you along with me

 

Take me up the coast in a little boat, little boat

Take me up the coast and I’ll show you Holy Island

Take me up the coast in a little boat, little boat

See the rocks of Lindisfarne.

The Holly and the Ivy

 

The holly and the ivy

Now they are both full grown

Of all the trees that are in the wood

Thee holly tree bears the crown

 

The rising of the sun

The running of the deer

The playing of the merry organ

Sweet singing in the choir

 

The holly tree bears the blossom

As white as any flower

As Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To be our sweet saviour

 

The holly tree bears the prickle

As sharp as any thorn

As Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

On Christmas day in the morn’.

Way Over Yonder

 

Way over yonder

Is a place that I know

Where I can find shelter

From a hunger and cold

And the sweet tasting good life

Is so easily found

Way over yonder

That’s where I’m bound

 

I know when I get there

The first thing I see

Is the sun shining golden

Shining right down on me

Then trouble’s gonna lose me

Worry leave me behind

And I’ll stand up proudly

In true peace of mind

 

Talkin’ ‘bout a-

Talkin’ ‘bout a-

 

Way over yonder

Is a place I have seen

In a garden of wisdom

From some long ago dream

 

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll find my way

To the land where the honey runs

In the river each day

And the sweet tasting good life

Is so easily found

Way over yonder

That’s where I’m bound

While Shepherds Watched

 

While Shepherds watched their flocks by night

All seated on the ground, all seated on the ground

The angel of the Lord came down

The angel of the Lord came down

And glory shone around

 

“Fear not” said he for mighty dread

Had seized their troubled mind, had seized their troubled mind;

“Glad tidings of great joy I bring,

Glad tidings of great joy I bring

To you and all mankind

 

“To you in David’s town this day

Is born of David’s line, is born of David’s line

A saviour who is Christ the Lord

A saviour who is Christ the Lord

And this shall be the sign:

 

“The heavenly babe you there shall find

To human view display , to human view display

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands

All meanly wrapped in swathing bands

And in a manger laid.”

 

Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith

Appeared a shining throng, appeared a shining throng

Of angels praising God, who thus

Of angels praising God, who thus

Addressed their joyful song:

 

“All glory be to God on high

And to the Earth be peace, and to the Earth be peace

Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men

Goodwill henceforth from heaven to men

Begin and never cease.”

White Christmas

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

Just like the ones I used to know

When the tree tops glisten and children listen

To hear sleigh bells in the snow

 

I’m dreaming of a white Christmas

With ev’ry Christmas card I write

May your days be merry and bright

And may all your Christmases be white

Winter Wonderland

 

Winter wonderland

Winter wonderland

Winter wonder, winter wonderland

 

Sleigh bells ring: are you listening

In the lane snow is glistening;

A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland

 

Gone away is the blue bird

Here to stay is a new bird

He sings a love song, as we go along

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland

 

In the meadow we can build a snowman

And pretend that he is parson Brown

He’ll say “Are you married?”, We’ll say “No, man

But you can do the job when you’re in town.”

 

Later on we’ll conspire

As we dream by the fire

To face unafraid, the plans that we made

Walkin’ in a winter wonderland.

 

Yes He Did

 

He took my feet from the miry clay

Yes he did, Yes he did

And placed them here on the rock to stay

Yes he did, Yes he did

 

I can tell the world about this

I can tell the nation I’m blessed

Tell them that Jesus made me whole

And he brought the joy, joy to my soul

 

Oh my Lord done just what he said

Yes he did, Yes he did

He healed the sick and he raised the dead

Yes he did, Yes he did.
