Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little lamb
Little lamb, little lamb
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went
Mary went, Mary went
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day
School one day, school one day
It followed her to school one day
which was against the rule

It made the children laugh and play
Laugh and play, laugh and play
It made the children laugh and play
To see a lamb at school

And so the teacher turned it out
Turn it out, turn it out
And so the teacher turned it out
But still it lingered near

And waited patiently about
'ly about, 'ly about
and waited patiently about
Till Mary did to appear

And then it ran to her and laid
Her and laid, her and laid
and then it ran to her and laid
its head upon her arm

As if it said, "I'm not afraid
Not afraid, not afraid."
As if it said, "I'm not afraid-
You'll keep me from all harm. "

" What makes the lamb love Mary so?
... Mary so ? ... Mary so?"
" What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
The eager children cried

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know
Lamb, you know, lamb, you know."
"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know,"
The teacher did replay

The Gettysburg Address

The Gettysburg Address  (by Abraham Lincoln)
(美國 林肯總統, 蓋茨堡演講)

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty,
and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on
a great battle-field of that war. We have come to
dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting
place for those who here gave their lives that that
nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate --
we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow --
this ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here, have consecrated it,
far above our poor power to add or detract.
The world will little note, nor long remember
what we say here, but it can never forget
what they did here. It is for us the living,
rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus far
so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here
dedicated to the great task remaining before us --
that from these honored dead we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last
full measure of devotion -- that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain --
that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth
of freedom -- and that government of the people,
by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Country boy

Johnny Cash(強尼凱許)

Country Boy

作詞：John R. Cash
作曲：John R. Cash

Country boy
Ain't got no shoes
Country boy
Ain't got no blues

Well you work all day while you're waitin' to play
In the sun and the sand, with a face that's tan
At the end of the day, when your work is done
You ain't got nothin' but fun

Country boy
Ain't got no wills
Country boy
You don't owe no bills

You get a wiggly worm and then you watch him squirm
While you put him on a hook and you drop him in a brook
If everything's gonna turn out right
You're gonna fry fish tonight

Country boy
You got a lot to lose
Country boy
How I wish I was in your shoes

Country boy
You got a shaggy dog
Country boy
Up a hollow log

Well he comes in a run, when you pick up your gun
And with a shell or two and your dog and you
When you get your rabbit, you'll skin his hide
He's gonna be good fried

Country boy
You got a lot to lose
Country boy
How I wish I was in your shoes

Country boy
You got work to do
Country boy
In the morning dew

You gotta plant the seed, you gotta cut the weeds
There's many a row you know you gotta hoe
When it's quittin' time, and your work is through
There's a lot of life in you

Country boy
You're lucky free
Country boy
I wish I was you and you was me

Jack and Jill went up the hill

Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down and broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after

Up Jack got and home did trot
as fast as he could caper
He went to bed and plastered his head
With vinegar and brown paper.

When Jill came in and she did grin
To see his paper plaster
Mother vexed did whip her next
For causing Jack's disaster

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy

There are many possible lyrics. The most common opening lyric and chorus is as follows:

I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart (Where?)
Down in my heart (Where?)
Down in my heart
I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy
Down in my heart (Where?)
Down in my heart to stay
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart
And I'm so happy
So very happy
I've got the love of Jesus in my heart

Subsequent lyrics include:

I've got the peace that passes understanding down in my heart...
I've got the happy hope that heckles heathens down in my heart...
I've got the far out faith that freaks out farmers down in my heart...
I've got the glorious hope of my Blessed Redeemer way down in the depths of my heart...
I've got the mighty Messiah that manifests miracles down in the depths of my heart...
I've got the Bible Beliefs that baffle the Buddhist way down in the depths of my heart...
Well, if the devil doesn't like it he can sit on a tack...
I've got the Love Of Jesus Christ My Savior down in my heart...
I've got the wonderful Love of my Blessed Redeemer way down in the depths of my heart...
I've got the brightest light in the depths of my heart...

Over the river and through the woods

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother's house we go.
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifted snow.

Over the river and through the woods,
Oh, how the wind does blow.
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go.

Over the river and through the woods
To have a full day of play.
Oh, hear the bells ringing ting-a-ling-ling,
For it is Christmas Day.

Over the river and through the woods,
Trot fast my dapple gray;
Spring o'er the ground just like a hound,
For this is Christmas Day.

Over the river and through the woods
And straight through the barnyard gate.
It seems that we go so dreadfully slow;
It is so hard to wait.

Over the river and through the woods,
Now Grandma's cap I spy.
Hurrah for fun; the pudding's done;
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie.

London Bridge is falling down

London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady.

Build it up with wood and clay,
Wood and clay, wood and clay,
Build it up with wood and clay,
My fair lady.

Wood and clay will wash away,
Wash away, wash away,
Wood and clay will wash away,
My fair lady.

Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold,
My fair lady.

Silver and gold will be stolen away,
Stolen away, stolen away,
Silver and gold will be stolen away,
My fair lady.

Set a man to watch all night,
Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night,
My fair lady.

Broken down, broken down.

My fair lady.

Build it up with wood and clay,
Wood and clay, wood and clay,
Build it up with wood and clay,
My fair lady.

Wood and clay will wash away,
Wash away, wash away,
Wood and clay will wash away,
My fair lady.

Build it up with bricks and mortar,
Bricks and mortar, bricks and mortar,
Build it up with bricks and mortar,
My fair lady.

Bricks and mortar will not stay,
Will not stay, will not stay,
Bricks and mortar will not stay,
My fair lady.

Build it up with iron and steel,
Iron and steel, iron and steel,
Build it up with iron and steel,
My fair lady.

Iron and steel will bend and bow,
Bend and bow, bend and bow,
Iron and steel will bend and bow,
My fair lady.

Build it up with silver and gold,
Silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold,
My fair lady.

Silver and gold will be stolen away,
Stolen away, stolen away,
Silver and gold will be stolen away,
My fair lady.

Set a man to watch all night,
Watch all night, watch all night,
Set a man to watch all night,
My fair lady.

Suppose the man should fall asleep,
Fall asleep, fall asleep,
Suppose the man should fall asleep?
My fair lady.

Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
Smoke all night, smoke all night,
Give him a pipe to smoke all night,
My fair lady.[2]

10-01-Hey! Porter Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash

Hey Porter


Hey porter! Hey porter!

Would you tell me the time?

How much longer will it be till we cross that Mason Dixon Line?

At daylight would ya tell that engineer

to slow it down?

Or better still, just stop the train,

Cause I wanna look around.


Hey porter! Hey porter!

What time did ya say?

How much longer will it be till I can see the light of day?

When we hit Dixie will you tell that engineer

to ring his bell?

And ask everybody that ain't asleep

to stand right up and yell.


Hey porter! Hey porter!

It's getting light outside.

This old train is puffin' smoke, and I have to strain my eyes.

But ask that engineer if he will

blow his whistle please.

Cause I smell frost on cotton leaves

and I feel that Southern breeze.


Hey porter! Hey porter!

Please get my bags for me.

I need nobody to tell me now

that we're in Tennessee.

Go tell that engineer to make that lonesome whistle scream,

We're not so far from home

so take it easy on the steam.


Hey porter! Hey porter!

Please open up the door.

When they stop the train I'm gonna get off first

Cause I can't wait no more.

Tell that engineer I said thanks alot,

and I didn't mind the fare.

I'm gonna set my feet on Southern soil

and breathe that Southern air.
