The Greenland Fisheries
When the whale gets striked and the line run down And the whale makes a flunder with his tail And the boat capsized and I lost my darlin' man No more no more Greenland for you brave boys No more no more Greenland for you 'Twas in eighteen hundred and six...
The Housewife Terrorists
Come fifty-one percent of the population and listen to my song, It's got but fifteen verses, It won't detain you long; It's all a-bout four housewives - We took a little risk. And how we got the title of the Housewife Terrorists On a sunny day in the month of...
The Mary Ellen Carter
She went down last October in a pouring driving rain. The skipper, he'd been drinking and the Mate, he felt no pain. Too close to Three Mile Rock, and she was dealt her mortal blow, And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low. There were five of us aboard her when s...
The People Are Scratching
Come fill up your glasses and set yourselves down. I'll tell you a story of somebody's town. It isn't too near and it's not far away. It's not a place where I'd want to stay. Now the people are scratching all over the street Because the rabbits had nothi...

The Riflemen's Song At Bennington
Why come ye hither, Redcoats, your mind what madness fills? In our valleys there is danger, and there's danger on our hills. Oh, hear ye not the singing of the bugle wild and free? And soon you'll know the ringing of the rifle from the tree. CHORUS: Oh, the ri...
The Ross Perot Guide To Answering Embarrassing Questions
When something in my history is found, Which contradicts the views that I propound, Or shows that I perhaps am not the guy I claim to be, here's what I usually do: [Chorus (after each verse):] I lie. I simply boldly falsify. I look the other feller in the eye...
The Silver Dagger
Young men an' maidens, pay attention To these here lines l'm a-goin' to tell, They are the truth, if ever spoken, About a young an' beautiful girl. A young man courted a handsome lady, He loved her more than he loved his life; He ofttimes made her the solemn...
The Sinking Of The Reuben James

The Sloop Clearwater
I was sitting on my front porch as I watched the river rot, Thinking about the sturgeon that are gone but not forgot And the buffalo an restless underneath the prairie sod And the smoke stacked up to heaven so's it hid the face of God There were soldiers marc...
The Spider's Web
The spider, dropping down from twig, Unfolds a plan of her devising, A thin premeditated rig To use in rising. And all that journey down through space, In cool descent and loyal hearted, She spins a ladder to the place From where she started. Thus I, gone fo...

The Torn Flag
At midnight in a flaming angry town I saw my country's flag lying torn upon the ground. I ran in and dodged among the crowd, And scooped it up, and scampered out to safety. And then I took this striped old piece of cloth And tried my best to wash the gar...
The Trail To Mexico
I made up my mind to change my way And quit my crowd that was so gay, To leave my native home for a while And to travel west for many a mile. Whoo-a-whoo-a-whoo-a-whoo. 'Twas all in the merry month of May When I started for Texas far away, I left my darling...
The Wabash Cannon Ball
I stood on the Atlantic Ocean The wide Pacific shore To the queen of the flowing mountains To the southbell by the door She's long and tall and handsome And loved by one and all She's a modern combination Called the Wabash Cannonball Chorus: Oh liste...
The Water Is Wide
The water is wide, I cannot cross over, And neither have I wings to fly, Give me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row - my love and I. A ship there was, and she sails the sea, She's loaded deep as deep can be, But not so deep as the love I'm in...
The Wayfaring Stranger

The Wild West Is Where I Wanna Be
Along the trail you'll find me lopin' Where the spaces are wide open, In the land of the old A.E.C. (yea-hah!) Where the scenery's attractive, And the air is radioactive, Oh, the wild west is where I wanna be. Mid the sagebrush and the cactus, I'll watch the...
