With a lonesome broken heart
But I'll wait in Lonesome Valley
Tho' we may be far apart."

with a most amazing appetite.

Tell me what makes you sleep so sound
The revenue officers are comin
Gonna tear your still
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
Hear the lonesome whipperwill
He sounds too blue to fly

Burl Ives - Ben Backstay
Ben Backstay was a boatswain,
A very jolly boy,
No lad than he more merrily
Could pipe all hands ahoy.

A bad mistake I'm making by just hanging round
I know that I should have some fun and paint the town
I thought of everything from A to Z oh lonesome me

Maybe you'll be lonesome too, and blue)

So you can answer
My lonesome question
Tell me what I'm going to do

On a hill far away, stood an old rugged Cross
The emblem of suff'ring and shame
And I love that old Cross where

Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
Mister Frog went a-courtin, he did ride, uh-huh, uh-huh.
I've seen love go by my door, it's never been this close before,
It's never been so easy or so slow.
I've been sooting in the dark too long, when
Burl Ives - Maid of the Sweet Brown Knowe
Come all ye lads and lasses, and hear my mournful tale,
Ye tender hearts that weep for love to sigh you
Burl Ives - Mother Goose Song
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair

Burl Ives - Love lifted me
I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore.
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more;
