The Ballad of Jack O' the Lantern - Tanya Brody

A laggard and a drunk he was
His heart it knew no shame-o
And for his life, his death was cursed
Jack O'The Lantern was his name-o
  Jack O The Lantern was his name-o

Jack he was a cruel man
His heart was black as night
Forever stealin', cursin', lyin',
And spoilin' for a fight.

The Devil found him in the pub
His soul now for to claim
Says Jackie "Buy me one last drink
For I ne'er shall drink again".

So the Devil into a sixpence turns
Jack's drink for which to pay
And Jackie grabs that coin a-right
And pockets it away

"Free me now!" the Devil cried
"I cannot abide in here
You've a cross stuck in your pocket
And it makes me most afeared."

"And If I do release ye,
Ye'll bother me no more
For seven years you'll let me be
And ne'er dark my door."

"Agreed!" the Devil cried aloud
So Jackie set him free
"In seven years," the Devil said.
"I will come back for thee."

A laggard and a drunk he was
His heart it knew no shame-o
And for his life, his death was cursed
Jack O'The Lantern was his name-o
  Jack O The Lantern was his name-o

Seven years they passed away
Like our Jack drinking brew
And soon enough the Devil came
A for to claim his due

"An apple I beg you pick for me
My last sup for to be.
Many a fine ripe rosy cheek
Hangs from yonder tree"

So the Devil climbs the tree of life
A for to pick the fruit
And Jack a cross carves in the bark
So the Devil's stuck to the root

"Free me now you scurvy knave
I'll have you for my own!
I'll watch your hard soul writhe in pain
As I sit on my throne!"

"I'll release you now but promise me
This thing you'll tell
That never in the time of man
Shall my soul rot in hell."

So the Devil he did promise
To leave poor Jackie be
And as Jack removed the cross
The Devil sped from yonder tree

A laggard and a drunk he was
His heart it knew no shame-o
And for his life, his death was cursed
Jack O'The Lantern was his name-o
 Jack O The Lantern was his name-o

Manys the year that passed away
But one day poor Jackie died.
His soul went up to heaven
And St. Peter up and cried

"Ye rogue, ye knave, ye scallywag
Now get ye from my sight!
And get ye down to hell's black hole
Where you'll never see the light!"

So down to hell old Jack he goes
And the Devil's at the door.
"A promise is a promise, Jack.
You're welcome here no more."

"Heaven forbade me, hell won't have me
Where now shall I go?"
"You're doomed to wander this cold earth
With no rest for your soul!"

"All alone in the cold and dark,
What comfort shall I find?"
The devil tossed him a burning coal
And shut the door behind

The hell coal burned Jack to the core
So a turnip root he found
Hollowed it out to make a light
And he dropped that coal right down.

Now Jackie wanders endlessly
His soul it knows no home
But all you'll see is an angry light
Burning through the gloam.

A laggard and a drunk he was
His heart it knew no shame-o
And for his life, his death was cursed
Jack O'The Lantern was his name-o
  Jack O The Lantern was his name-o
Jack of The Lantern was his name-o
  Jack O The Lantern was his name-o

Rattlin' Roarin' Willy - Robert Burns, verses 5 & 6 by Tanya Brody, verse 7 by Matthew Gurnsey

Oh Rattlin' Roarin' Willy O he held to the Fair
A for to sell his fiddle and buy some other ware
But partin' wi' his fiddle the salt tear blind his eye
And Rattlin' Roarin' Willy you're welcome home to me

Oh Willy come sell your fiddle oh sell your fiddle so fine
Oh Willy oh me sell your fiddle and buy a pint o' wine
If I should sell my fiddle the worl'd think I was mad
For many's the rantin' day my fiddle and I hae had

As I came by Crockallin I cannily kick it been
Rattlin' Roarin' Willy was sittin' at yon boarden
Sittin' at yon boarden among good company
And Rattlin' Roarin' Willy you're welcome home to me

Oh Willy's a fine musician, as fine as ever ye ken
And Willy'l play you a tune no matter where or when
So partin' wi' his fiddle he'd ne'er do summat so bold
And Rattlin' Roarin' Willy goes stridin' down the road

Oh Willy he came to our town, he found our shire so fine
He thought he'd play his fiddle and earn a pint o' wine
So putting bow to fiddle he played a merry tune
And everyone in the village danced til' next day's noon

Oh we came today to sing a riddle for you folk
But neither of us can fiddle it would be quite a joke
Rattlin' Roarin' Willy can make his fiddle ring
The both of us are contented now for to play and sing

Oh Rattlin' Roarin' Willy O he held to the Fair
A for to sell his fiddle and buy some other ware
But partin' wi' his fiddle the salt tear blind his eye
And Rattlin' Roarin' Willy you're welcome home to me

Johnny Jump Up - Tim Jordan

We'll I'll tell you a story what happened to me
One day as I went down to Cork on the Lee
The day it was hot and the sun it was warm,
So says I a quick pint wouldn't do me no harm

I went in and I called for a bottle of stout
The Barman said "sorry, all the beer is sold out
Try whiskey or paddy, ten years in the wood"
Says I, "I'll have cider, I've heard that it's good".

Oh but I'll never, no never, no never again
If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up  

After downing the third I came up by the yard
Where I bumped into Brophy, the big civic guard
Come here to me lass, don't you know I'm the law?
Well, I up with me fist and I shattered his jaw

He fell to the ground with his knees doubled up
But it wasn't I hit him, 'twas Johnny Jump Up
The next thing I saw down in Cork on the Lee
Was a cripple on crutches and says he to me

I'm afraid of me life I'll be hit by a car
Won't you help me across to the Highwayman's Bar?
After drinking a quart of that cider so sweet
He threw down his crutches and danced on his feet

Oh but I'll never, no never, no never again
If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

I went down the Lee road, a friend for to see
They call it the madhouse in Cork on the Lee
Well when I got there, sure the truth I will tell,
They had this poor bugger locked up in a cell

The guard questioned him, say these words if you can
Around the rugged rock the ragged rascal ran
Tell him I'm not crazy, tell him I'm not mad
It was only a sip of the cider I had

Oh but I'll never, no never, no never again
If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

A man died in the union by the name of McNabb
They dressed him and laid him outside on the slab
Well after the O'Connor his measurements did take
His wife brought him home to a bloody fine wake

The clock it was 12 and the beer was high
When the corpse sits up and says with a sigh
I can't get to heaven, they won't let me up
Til I bring them a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

Oh but I'll never, no never, no never again
If I live to be a hundred or a hundred and ten
I fell to the ground and I couldn't get up
After drinking a quart of the Johnny Jump Up

Jack Haggerty - Dan McGinnis

I'm a heartbroken raftsman, From Greenville I came;
All my virtue's departed With the lass I did fain.
From the strong darts of Cupid I've suffered much grief;
My heart's broke asunder, I can get no relief.

Of my trouble I'll tell you Without much delay;
Of a sweet little lassie My heart stole away.
She's a blacksmith's fair daughter from the Flat River Side,
And I always intended To make her my bride.

Well I worked on the river Where the white waters roar
And my name I've engraved On the high rocky shore.
I'm the boy that stands happy On the dark purling stream;
But my thoughts were on Molly, She haunted my dreams.

I gave her fine jewels, the finest of lace;
And the costliest muslins her form to embrace
I gave her my wages all for to keep safe,
I deprived her of nothing I had on this earth.

While I worked on the river I made quite a stake,
I was steadfast and steady, And ne'er played the rake.
From camp, flat and river I'm very well known.
And they call me Jack Haggerty The pride of the town.

Till she wrote me a letter Which I did receive.
And she said from her promise Herself she'd relieve.
To wed with another She'd a long time delayed,
And the next time I'd see her She'd no more be a maid.

To her mother, Jane Tucker, I lay all the blame;
For she caused her to leave And go back on my name,
To cast off the riggings That God was to tie,
And to leave me a rambler Til the day that I die.

Now come all ye bold raftsmen with hearts stout and true,
Don't trust to a woman, 'Cause you're beat if you do!
But if you do meet one With a dark chestnut curl,
Remember Jack Haggerty And the Flat River Girl!

Sailor's Prayer - Rod MacDonald

Though my sails be torn and tattered and my mast be turned about
Let the night wind chill me to my very soul
Though the spray might sting my eyes and the stars no light provide
Give me just another morning light to hold

For I will not lie me down, this rain a ragin
I will not lie me down in such a storm
And if this night be unblessed I shall not take my rest
Until I reach another shore

Though the only water left is but salt to wound my thirst
I will drink the rain that falls so steady down
Though night blindness be my gift and there be thieves upon my drift
I will thank the fog that shelters me along

For I will not lie me down, this rain a ragin
I will not lie me down in such a storm
And if   this night be unblessed I shall not take my rest
Until I reach another shore

Though my mates be drained and weary and believe their hopes are lost
There's no need for their bones on that blackened bottom
And though Death waits just off the bow, we will not answer to him now
He shall stand to greet the morning light without us.

For I will not lie me down, this rain a ragin
I will not lie me down in such a storm
And if this night be unblessed I shall not take my rest
Until I reach another shore

For I will not lie me down, this rain a ragin
I will not lie me down in such a storm
And if this night be unblessed I shall not take my rest
Until I reach another shore

Sonny's Dream - Ron Hynes

Sonny lives on a farm in a wide open space
Take off your shoes, get out of the race
Lay down your head on the soft river bed
Sonny always remembers the words his Mama said

Sonny carries a load though he's barely a man
There's not much to do, but   he does what he can
Sits at his window in his room by the stairs
Keeps to the road and he's done that for years

cho: Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

It's a hundred miles to town, Sonny's never been there
He walks to the highway and stands there and stares
Mailman comes round with his mailbag at four
And tells Sonny stories of silver and gold

Sonny's dreams can't be real, they're just stories he's read
They're just stars in his eyes, they're just dreams in his head
And he's hungry inside for the wide world outside
And I know I can't hold him though I've tried and I've tried

Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

So many years have passed, Sonny's so alone
His daddy's a sailor who never came home
Sometimes he wonders what his life could have been
Then from the grave Mamma's voice haunts his dreams

Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never came home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

Oh, Sonny don't go away, I am here all alone
And your daddy's a sailor who never comes home
And the nights get so long and the silence goes on
And I'm feeling so tired, I'm not all that strong

The Bonny Ship the Diamond - Traditional

The Diamond is a ship, me lads, for the Davis Strait she's bound,
And the quay it is all garnished with bonny lasses 'round;
Captain Thompson gives the order to sail the ocean wide,
Where the sun it never sets, me lads, and the darkness dims the sky,

So it's cheer up my lads, let your hearts never fail,
While the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

Along the quay at Peterhead, the lasses stand around,
Wi' their shawls all pulled around them and their salt tears runnin' down;
Don't you weep, my bonny lass, though you be left behind,
For the rose will grow on Greenland's ice before we change our mind.

So it's cheer up my lads, let your hearts never fail,
While the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

Here's a health to the Resolution, likewise the Eliza Swan,
Here's a health to the Battler of Montrose and the Diamond, ship of fame;
We wear the trousers o' the white and the jackets o' the blue,
When we return to Peterhead, we'll have sweethearts anew,

So it's cheer up my lads, let your hearts never fail,
While the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale.

It'll be so bright both day and night when the Greenland lads come home,
Wi' a ship that's full of oil, my lads, and money to our name;
We'll make the cradles for to rock and the blankets for to tear,
And every lass in Peterhead sings "Hushabye, my dear"

So it's cheer up my lads, let your hearts never fail,
While the bonny ship, the Diamond, goes a-fishing for the whale

Little Beggarman - Traditional

I am a little beggarman, and begging I have been
For three score and more in this little isle of green
I'm known from the Liffey and down to the Zoo
And I go by the name of Auld Johnny Dhu

Of all the trades a going, sure the begging is the best
For when a man is tired he can sit him down and rest
Beg for his supper, he has nothing more to do
But to cut around the corner with his old rigadoo

I slept in a barn in down Currabawn
The wet came on and I slept 'til dawn
There was holes in the roof and the rain a coming thru
And the rats and the cats were a playing peek a boo

Who should awaken but the woman of the house
With her white spotted apron and her calico blouse
She began to frighten and I said boo
Sure, don't be afraid love, it's only Johnny Dhu

I met a little flaxie haired girl one day
Good mornin' little flaxie haired girl, I'd say
Good mornin' little beggarman and how do you do
With your rags and your tags and your auld rigadoo

I'll buy a pair of leggins in the color of the sky
And a nice young lady I'll fetch by and by
I'll buy a pair of goggles and the color of them blue
And an old fashioned lady I will make of you

It's over the hills with my pack on me back
Over the hills with me great heavy sack
With me holes in me shoes and my toes a peeping thru
Singing, skiddldy ran kin do now it's only Johnny Dhu

I must be going to bed for it's getting late at night
For the fire's gone out and out goes the light
For now you've heard the story of my auld rigadoo
So good night and God be with you, says Auld Johnny Dhu

Singin' Hey Daughter, ho daughter hum an a toor an day

Tam O' Shanter - Words by Robert Burns, Tune & Arrangement by Tanya Brody

  When chapmen billes leave the street,
    And drouthy neebors, neebors meet,
    As market days are wearing late,
    An' folk begin to tak the gate;
  While we sit bousing at the nappy,
    And getting fou and unco happy,
    We think na on the lang Scots miles,
    The mosses, waters, slaps, and styles,
  That lie between us and our hame,
   Where sits our sulky sullen dame.
   Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
   Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.

  Ah, gentle dames! it gars me greet,
   To think how mony counsels sweet,
   How mony lengthen'd, sage advices,
   The husband frae the wife despises!

But to our tale:-- Ae market-night,
   Tam had got planted unco right;
   Fast by an ingle, bleezing finely,
   Wi' reaming swats, that drank divinely
  The storm without might rair and rustle,
    Tam did na mind the storm a whistle.

    The wind blew as 'twad blawn its last;
   The rattling showers rose on the blast;
   The speedy gleams the darkness      swallow'd
   Loud, deep, and lang, the thunder bellow'd:
   That night, a child might understand,
   The Deil had business on his hand.

  Weel mounted on his gray mare, Meg--
   A better never lifted leg--
   Tam skelpit on thro' dub and mire;
   Despisin' wind and rain and fire.

    Kirk-Alloway was drawing nigh,
  Whare ghaists and houlets nightly cry.

  Before him Doon pours all is floods;
   The doubling storm roars thro' the woods;
   The lightnings flash from pole to pole;
   Near and more near the thunders roll:

  But Maggie stood, right sair astonish'd,
   Till, by the heel and hand admonish'd,
   She ventured forward on the light;
   And, wow! Tam saw an unco sight

  Warlocks and witches in a dance;
    Nae cotillion brent-new frae France,
   But hornpipes, jigs strathspeys, and reels,
   Put life and mettle in their heels.
  A winnock-bunker in the east,
   There sat auld Nick, in shape o' beast;
   A towzie tyke, black, grim, and large,
   To gie them music was his charge:
  As Tammie glowr'd, amaz'd, and curious,
   The mirth and fun grew fast and furious;
   The piper loud and louder blew;
   The dancers quick and quicker flew;
  They reel'd, they set, they cross'd, they cleekit,
   Till ilka carlin swat and reekit,
   And coost her duddies to the wark,
   And linket at it her sark!

  But Tam kend what was what fu' brawlie:
   There was ae winsome wench and waulie,
   That night enlisted in the core,
   Lang after ken'd on Carrick shore;
  Her cutty-sark, o' Paisley harn
   That while a lassie she had worn,
   In longitude tho' sorely scanty,
   It was her best, and she was vauntie,-
  Ah! little ken'd thy reverend grannie,
   That sark she coft for her wee Nannie,
   Wi' twa pund Scots, ('twas a' her riches),
   Wad ever grac'd a dance of witches!

  Till first ae caper, syne anither,
   Tam tint his reason ' thegither,
   And roars out, "Weel done, Cutty-sark!"
   And in an instant all was dark:
  And scarcely had he Maggie rallied,
   When out the hellish legion sallied.
  As eager runs the market-crowd,
   When "Catch the thief!" resounds aloud;
   So Maggie runs, the witches follow,
   Wi' mony an eldritch skriech and hollo.

  Now, do thy speedy utmost, Meg,
   And win the key-stane o' the brig;
   There at them thou thy tail may toss,
  A running stream they dare na cross.
  But ere the key-stane she could make,
   The fient a tail she had to shake!
   For Nannie, far before the rest,
   Hard upon noble Maggie prest,
  And flew at Tam wi' furious ettle;
   But little wist she Maggie's mettle -
   Ae spring brought off her master hale,
   But left behind her ain gray tail;
  The carlin claught her by the rump,
   And left poor Maggie scarce a stump.

  No, wha this tale o' truth shall read,
   Ilk man and mother's son take heed;
   Whene'er to drink you are inclin'd,
   Or cutty-sarks run in your mind,
   Think! ye may buy joys o'er dear -
   Remember Tam o' Shanter's mare.

Maiden's Revenge - Tanya Brody

There once was a handsome lad, all from the town of Kimmin
He was so proud and boastful of his prowess with the women
Well the tales were told that made him out to be a Romeo
But he'd have his way with a lass whether she would or no

One day young Mary Stockwell did catch this Johnny's eye
And the next thing that you know he had his hand upon her thigh
Young Mary, hearing of the tales did push his hand away
And her proud and foolish gesture, did cause this lad to say

"Oh run like the devil Mary run.
Run like the devil Mary run
For I will catch you quick And we will have some fun
For the time's run out on your virtue"

Mary took off like a shot, went running through the town
Johnny was upon her heels to bring that girl to ground
But Mary's track did take her speeding through the flour mill
And she pushed a bag in Johnny's way so over him it spilled

Well Johnny came out of the mill looking like a great white mountain
And his eyes, being full of dust, fell right into the fountain
At the sight of this the townsfolk laughed and Mary shrieked with glee
And Johnny got back to his feet shoutin' "Mary I'll get ye!"

"Oh run like the devil Mary run.
Run like the devil Mary run
For I will catch you quick And we will have some fun
For the time's run out on your virtue"

Mary she stuck out her tongue and started off once more
But Johnny grabbed her skirt so fast that a good piece of it tore
His passion infused with his rage, it nearly made him blind
And he took off so intent on Mary's now exposed behind

Johnny ran 'neath a laundry line, his head he had to duck
But flour and water soon make paste and to his back now stuck
A fine young ladies handkerchief of lovely bright red silk
While Mary ran into the barn where the town's cows all did milk

"Oh run like the devil Mary run.
Run like the devil Mary run
For I will catch you quick And we will have some fun
For the time's run out on your virtue"

Mary ran down the row of stalls, looking for safe cover
When upon her fell the shadow of her maddened would be lover
"A hah! Now I have cornered you and no more tricks you'll pull"
When Mary opened the stall door of the dairy farmers' bull

Well Mary hid behind the door, the bull saw Johnny only
And it crashed out of that stall door, being mad, or maybe lonely
Johnny he turned tail and ran and that handkerchief so red
Went flapping out behind him as across the fields he sped

"Oh run like the devil Johnny run.
Run like the devil Johnny run.
For I have banked your prowess And your reputation's done
And I'll be the keeper of my virtue."

"Oh run like the devil Johnny run.
Run like the devil Johnny run.
For I have banked your prowess And your reputation's done
And I'll be the keeper of my virtue."

Come for to Sing - Bob Stuart

Some come to work while others do play
Some come at evening to pass time away
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring
But as for me, I come for to sing

Some come in winter to ward off the chill
Some come in summer to drink up their fill
Some come in autumn and others in spring
But when I come I come for to sing

Some live richt here, they come all the time
Some cross the oceans, they come from all climes
But come by land or come I by wing
You know if I'm here, I came for to sing

Some come to work while others do play
Some come at evening to pass time away
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring
But as for me, I come for to sing

Some come to stay, while others must leave
Some come to laugh while others still grieve
But one and all, we want the same thing
For when we come, we come for to sing

Some come to work while others do play
Some come at evening to pass time away
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring
But as for me, I come for to sing

Some people have while others have not
Some like to tell me bout what I ain't got
But I don't mind, it don't mean a thing
For when I come, I come for to sing

Some come to work while others do play
Some come at evening to pass time away
Some come to laugh, their voices do ring
But as for me, I come for to sing
