Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

Oh Eve, where is Adam?
I see you've been kept
Out of the garden
And I said
Oh, Eve, where is Adam?
Now you've been kept
Out of the garden
I have wandered from shore to shore
Don't you find that there's no more
Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah

Don't you wish
Love alone
Don't you wish
Love 
Don't you wish
Love alone
Don't you wish
Love 
Don't you wish love alone
Could save the world from disaster
Is only love, inner confusion
Is it just one more illusion
And I said
Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah

Well, if you want to have great love
You've got to have great anger
Well, if you want to have great love
You've got to have great anger
When I see innocent folks shot down
Should I just shake my head and frown
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah

Girl if you want to hit the target square
You've gotta look out (for it not happening there)?
Or else it'll be just one more time
The correction creates another crime
Girl if you want to hit the target square
You better not have right angles
Oh, just keep one more time
For the correction creates another crime

Oh, Eve, you tell Adam
Next time he asks you
You say baby it's cold outside
What's the password 
To come inside
You say 
Pacem in terres me shanti shalom haywah

Oh Eve go tell Adam
We've got to build a new garden
Oh Eve go tell Adam
We've got to build a new garden
Got to get working on a building
A decent home for all of god's children
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah

Well if music
Could only bring peace
I'd only be a musician
Well if music
Could only bring peace
I'd only be a musician
Well if songs could do more than
Dull this pain
And all melodies bravely changed well
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah
Four thousand languages in this world
Doesn't mean the same thing
To every boy and girl
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah
Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah

(save the world from disaster
Well if only love....
...well I sad...
...just one more illusion...
Oh Pacem in terres me shanti shalom aywah)
