The wild geese are dancing in the ripples of the morn My wanderlust is formed I've got to follow them wherever they may lead For I am just a sailor on a ship across the land Let me hold your hand To bid farewell so I can knuckle to my knees But I'll be back ag...

Way high, so high: Travelin' fast and free. Spaceman, look down: Tell me what you see. Can you see the hunger there Strike without a sound? Can you see the food you burn As you circle round? Way high, so high: All the world will cheer. Spaceman, look down:...

Oh, say do you remember 25 years ago, They fought the fascist army, they fought the fascist foe? Do you remember franco, hitler's old ally? He butchered spain's democracy,half a million free men died. Ai, ai, ai, ai-- Did you wonder why? Did you ever pause an...

The young night was thirsty as I entered the back of the bar the smoke held the air, as the floating tables were scarred, in back of the counter the man asked "What can I do?" and all I could say was "One on the way, take it out of my youth." And the voic...

Walkin' down to Denver town I watched the western sun go down. Thought that I would stop a while, Switch around my TV dial. Got some free Tee Vee . . . Only price was a little boredom. Well, I'm not sure about my taste But it seemed that TV land was a waste....

Walkin' down to Birmingham, Way down south in Dixieland. I thought that I would stop a while Take a vacation Southern style Got some Southern hospitality Down there in a Southern hospital. Well, all the signs said Welcome in, Welcome if you're white my...

In many a time, in many a land, With many a gun in many a hand, They came by the night, they came by the day, Came with their guns to take us away With a knock on the door, knock on the door. Here they come to take one more, One more. Back in the days of the...

Well, Once I heard some people say, "If you gotta travel There's just one way, you gotta leave the ground, gotta go through the air, gotta find a pilot and pay your fare You gotta sail through the sky. In other words, you gotta fly". Yes, statistics show it's...

Sailing over to Vietnam Southeast Asian Birmingham Well, training is the word we use Nice word to have in case we lose Training a million Vietnamese To fight for the wrong government and the American way Well, they put me in a barracks house Just across the w...

Who's that coming down the road A sailor from the sea He looks a lot like me I'd know him anywhere, had to stare Feathers at his fingertips A halo 'round his spine He must have lost his mind He should be put away, right away In the corner of the night He han...

It was a used car dealers' election And the choice was rather small The boys agreed, "it's the war we need, So there's no president at all." Here's to Nixon and Agnew They are the stars of the stage and screen Not since Laurel and Hardy Have I laughed so hard...

The bullets of the false revenge have struck us once again As the angry seas have struck upon the sand And it seemed as though a friendless world had lost itself a friend That was the President and that was the man. I still can see him smiling there and w...

If you say all the good times are gone, If you say this rain will keep rainin' on-- I'll walk along with my head held high; I'll find a song and I'll sing it to the sky-- I may be wrong but I'll live 'til I die. That's the way it's gonna be. Wait and see. Eve...

So you tell me that your last good dollar is gone And you say that your pockets are bare. And you tell me that your clothes are tattered and torn And nobody seems to care. Now don't tell me your troubles, No, I don't have the time to spare. But if you w...

Billie Sol was a man From the giant Texas land He put the Chamber of Commerce on a limb They voted him the best And the government did no less Until the I.O.U.'s of Texas fell on him Stand tall, Billie Sol, we don't know you at all We've taken down your pictur...

I'll tell you the story of John Henry Faulk. I'll tell you of his trials and the troubled trail he walked, And I'll tell of the tyrants, the ones you never see: Murder is the role they play and hatred is their fee. On the TV and the radio John Henry Faulk was...

Phil Ochs checked into the Chelsea Hotel, There was blood on his clothes and they were dirty. I could see by his face he was not feeling well, He'd been to one too many parties. He walked in the lobby a picture of doom, It was plain to see he'd been a-drinkin'...
