Lyrics:
Burl Ives – Pretty Polly
I courted pretty Polly the live long night
I courted pretty Polly the live long night
But I slept on her grave the best
Burl Ives - The Little Green Valley
see a candlelight down in the little green valley
Where Morning Glory vines are twining 'round my door
Oh, how I
Burl Ives - John Henry
John Henry he could hammer,
He could whistle, he could sing
He went to the mountain early in the mornin'
Just to hear his
Burl Ives - Roving Gambler
I am a roving gambler
I've gambled all around
When ever I meet with a deck of cards
I lay my money down
I've gambled
Burl Ives - Leather-Winged Bat
Hi," said the little brown leather winged bat,
"I'll tell you the reason that,
the reason that I fly in the night's
Burl Ives - Darlin' cory
Wake up, wake up darlin cory
Tell me what makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are comin
Gonna tear your still
Burl Ives - Froggie went A-courtin
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.

GUARD #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European
swallow, that's my point.
GUARD #2:
Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep a thousand stars go by
Yet in thy dark street shineth
Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're
leads
them towards Bethlehem. The Wise Men enter the gates of the
sleeping town and make their way through the deserted streets.
A dog snarls at them.
Oh Little Town of Bethlehem
('Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem' was penned by a priest called Philip Brooks.
He was inspired and overwhelmed by his visit
Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're
go by
Oh little town of Bethlehem
Be still tonight be still
Mary she was just a kid
Jesus was a refugee
A virgin and a vagabond
Yearning
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shine
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shine
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth,
