Pete Seeger - What did you learn in school today ?

(Pete Seeger)

What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that Washington never told a lie.
I learned that soldiers never die.
I learned that everybody's free,
And that's what the teacher said to me.

Chorus
That's what I learned in school today,
That's what I learned in school.


What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that policemen are my friends.
I learned that justice never ends.
I learned that murderers die for their crimes
Even if we make a mistake sometimes.

Chorus


What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that Government must be strong;
It's always right and never wrong;
Our leaders are the finest men
And we elect them again and again.

Chorus


What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?
What did you learn in school today,
Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that war is not so bad;
I learned about the great ones we have had;
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance.

Chorus

Pete Seeger

Whiskey In The Jar (lyrics)

(Dubliners )

Since there is so much variation between how a traditional song is performed (recorded/ printed in songbooks) and how a band chooses to interpret it, I am only providing one "Traditional" versions of the lyrics. – Enjoy, Sing and play as you like!
/Tally-Two

As I was a going over the far famed Kerry mountains,
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier,
Saying ‘Stand and deliver’ for you are the bold deceiver.

Chorus:
Musha rig um du rum da
Whack fol the daddy o
Whack fol the daddy o
There's whiskey in the jar

I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me,
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy.

(Chorus)

I went up to my chamber, all for to take a slumber.
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter.

(Chorus)

It was early in the morning, just before I rose to travel.
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell.
I first produced me pistol for she stole away me rapier
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.

(Chorus)

Alt.1
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling.
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early.

(Chorus)

If anyone can aid me it’s my brother in the army
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he will go with me, we'll go roving in Kilkenny
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than my own miss Sporting Jenny.

(Chorus)

Alt.2
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling.
But I take delight in the juice of the barley
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early.

(Chorus)

Gente da minha terra

(Mariza Nunes)

É meu e vosso este fado (This Fado is both yours and mine)
destino que nos amarra (The destiny that unites us)
por mais que seja negado (No matter how much it is denied)
às cordas de uma guitarra (By the strings of a guitar)

Sempre que se ouve um gemido (Whenever one hears a lament)
duma guitarra a cantar (Of a guitar's song)
fica-se logo perdido (One is instantly lost)
com vontade de chorar (With a longing to weep)

Ó genta da minha terra (Oh people of my land)
agora é que eu percebi (It is now that I have perceived)
esta tristeza que trago (This sadness which I carry)
foi de vós que a recebi (Was from you that I received)

E pareceria ternura (It would seem a kindness)
se eu me deixasse embalar (If I left myself be soothed)
era maior a amargura (The greater the anguish)
menos triste o meu cantar (The less sorrowful my song)

Ó genta da minha terra (Oh people of my land)

Ó genta da minha terra (Oh people of my land)
agora é que eu percebi (It is now that I have perceived)
esta tristeza que trago (This sadness which I carry)
foi de vós que a recebi (Was from you that I received)

I Will Always Love You

(Whitney Houston)

If I should stay,
I would only be in your way.
So I'll go, but I know,
I'll think of you evry step of the way.

And I will always love you,
I will always love you.
You, my darling you. Hmm.

Bittersweet memories;
that is all I'm taking with me.
So, goodbye - Please, don't cry.
We both know I'm not what you, you need.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.

(Instrumental solo)

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love.

And I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I will always love you.
I, I will always love you.
You, darling, I love you.
Ooh, I'll always, I'll always love you.

My Love Is Your Love

(Whitney Houston)

If tomorrow is judgement day (sing mommy)
And I`m standing on the front line
And the Lord ask me what I did with my life
I will say, I spent it with you...

If I wake up in World War 3
I see destruction and poverty
And I feel like I want to go home
It`s okay if you coming with me.

(Cause) Your love is my love (and) My love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
(Cause) Your love is my love (and) My love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us

If I lose my fame and fortune
And I`m homeless on the street
And I`m sleeping in Grand Central Station
It`s okay if you`re sleeping with me.

As the years they pass us by
We stay young through each other`s eyes
And no matter how old we get
It`s okay as long as I got you babe.

(Cause) Your love is my love (and) My love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
(Cause) Your love is my love (and) My love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us

If I should die this very day
Don`t cry, cause on earth we wasn`t meant to stay
And no matter what people say
I`ll be waiting for you after judgement day

(Cause) Your love is my love (and) My love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
(Cause) Your love is my love (and) My love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us

(Cause) Your love is my love and my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us...

With A Little Help From My Friends

(Joe Cocker)

What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
(And) I'll try not to sing out of key.

CHORUS
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away?
- Does it worry you to be alone?
How do I feel by the end of the day?
- Are you sad because you're on your own?

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, I´m gonna try with a little help from my friends

- Do you need anybody?
I need somebody to love!
- Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love!

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

- Would you believe in a love at first sight?
Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time
- What do you see when you turn out the light?
I can't tell you but I know it's mine,

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

- Do you need anybody?
I just need someone to love
- Could it be anybody?
I want somebody to love.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends
I get high with a little help from my friends

Yes I get by with a little help from my friends,
with a little help from my friends

With a little help from my friends.
