Tom Paxton piosenki

Out behind the gypsy's, drinking someone's wine, Out behind the gypsy's, drinking someone's wine, Someone passed the smoke around, just a friendly toke around. I declare we all felt fine I declare we all felt fine Out behind the gypsy's waiting for a sign,...

Pulled into Jackson in the morning light, Saw the last of Jackson about ten last night, Had some chili, and caught a show, Deputy sheriff said time to go, Out of luck and out on another highway. Lord, lord, wouldn't I love to throw these shoes away, The...

I left the harbor at break of day, shook out my sail I've got splashes of salty foam coming over the rail I'm breathing easy ocean air, I'm sailing who the hell knows where I'm in pure motion out on the ocean Out on the ocean, out on the sea No where I n...

Outward bound, upon a ship that sails no ocean Outward bound, it has no crew but me and you All alone when just a minute ago the shore was filled with people With people that we knew So farewell, adieu, so long, vaya con Dios May they find whatever they are lo...

Peace, Peace will, Peace will come, And let it begin with me. We, We need, We need peace, And let it begin with me. Oh, my own life Is all I can hope to control. Oh, let my life, Be lived for the good, Good of my soul. Let it bring peace, Sweet p...

(For Phil Ochs) Words and Music by Tom Paxton I opened the paper, there was your picture, Gone, gone, gone by your own hand. I couldn't believe it, the paper was shakin', Gone, gone, gone by your own hand. I know I'm gonna spend the rest of my lifetime...

He was a man and a friend always. He stuck with me in the bad old days. He never cared if I had no dough, We rambled round in the rain and snow. So here's to you my Rambling Boy, May all your rambling bring you joy. So here's to you my Rambling Boy, May all y...

My love lies beside me breathing soft and slowly Deep in slumber holy out on a sapphire sea On her lips but barely a gentle smile is playing A hint of come what maying as she lies close to me She is the one touch of heaven I know Here on this vagabond pl...

She sits on the table in a dress made of paper Diplomas all over the wall One university, one school of medicine She's overwhelmed by it all The nurse is all sympathy, voice of experience: Let's have a look at that eye It's going to look bad for a week,...

Well I went out for a walk last week, I passed a shop they call a boutique. Fancy Dresses of every size, fancy wigs to pop your eyes. Bracelets, diamond rings, stuff for women too. Well I didn't want to see no more, I slipped inside the grocery store. I...

Spoken: "Ahhh... Let's do that again Do you believe that?" Well, when I landed in Vietnam I hardly got to see Saigon They shaped us up and called the roll and off we went on a long patrol Swappin' lies, swattin' flies, Firin' the odd shot here and t...

The first plane hit the other tower, right after I came in. It left a gaping, fiery hole where offices had been. We'd stood and watched in horror, as we saw the first ones fall, Then someone yelled "Get out, get out! They're trying to kill us all!" I grabbed...

Stephen Biko lay in shackles on a urine-sodden mattress In the solitary section, he was made to lie there naked Ah, ah! Given nothing he could wash with, exercise was not permitted Stephen Biko lay in shackles, compliments of Colonel Goosen Ah, ah, Africa...

Now there once was a young man, and he came to the big city Seeking a lucrative position commensurate with his talents And he walked the streets all day and he couldn't find a job Till at last he secured employment working in a stone quarry with all the oth...

I sit down each morning and I start to move my pen It's what I know that I was meant to do Without knowing how I find I write your name again Oh, it's always true the first song is for you Every time I start it's still the same When I move my pen it writ...

When I find myself with a song to write, I remember candles in the night. Voices raised in ragged harmony, Singing this land was made for you and me. Some of those voices are silent now and gone; I'm glad to see how you've been keeping on. I remember the...

I'm a guard in the great iron prison, at least I was 'till now. It was never a picnic social, never a date. They never come in laughing and you know they never taught them how It was damn hard work, and you wouldn't believe the pay. It was early in the mornin...

The orders came, the midnight rain Was driving down the window pane They rose like cattle, mess-kit rattle Showed them green and new to battle Out on the road, the mud knee-high The tortured trucks were slithering by Toward the ruptured, shattered sky...

It's a lesson too late for the learning Made of sand, made of sand In the wink of an eye my soul is turnin' In your hand, in your hand Are you going away with no word of farewell Will there be not a trace left behind Well, I could've loved you better, didn't...

When I was just a wee little lad full of health and joy, My father homeward came one night and gave to me a toy. A wonder to behold, it was, with many colors bright, And the moment I laid eyes on it it became my heart's delight. (Cho:) It went "zip" when...
