Beyond the Towering Stacks; New Song for Bruno 02:27
lyrics
buy track
Beyond the Towering Stacks; New Song for Bruno Woody taught the people to dream People working their own factories Smoke means baloney, it'll set you free So people hoping its coming back Pine for smoke in the towering stacks Billowing smoke from towering stacks Woody never dreamed that smoke would land Suffocate the people, enslave the land Creep in the babes born in our hands Time to sing a new folk song Time to wake up hear the gong Come Woody's spirit lead the throng Reck belong to this old working town New babes coming folks long gone New land coming, the land long gone Some folks thinking I'm just a clown Raising sand about the way were grown Others just fear I'll steal their ground So they cut me off the radio To keep the natural ratio Keep the old song sung mono Arrest me, arrest me, beat me down Kill the madman and the seeds he's sown Ha! more madmen coming to town Drag me down to the tar ponds Dunk my head but I won't drown The toxics will kill this sane mad-clown

Little Birdie Little birdie, little birdie Come and sing me your song I've a short time, to stay here And a long time to be gone Little birdie, little birdie What makes you fly so high? For you know that, true love Is singing off in the sky? Little birdie, little birdie Can't you see I'm down For I can’t find, me another I'm heavy on the ground This ol' world, treasuring things Done hark the bird song And there's no'ne, to awaken The heart to know it's wrong Little birdie, little birdie Carry me away on your wing Up beyond, the grey clouds Up where true love sings Little birdie, little birdie Bring me back alive So I can sing, for this quiet land To keep its heart from dying Little birdie, little birdie Come and sing me your song I've a short time, to stay here And a long time to be gone (adopted from traditional version)

Chewing Gum I knew a gal named Molly May She was born in June Every time the gal came round Yes she'd want to play Laughing splashing singing a tune Yes come out and play Won't you come and play with me Yes come out and play Gone a chewing gum ya Chewing chewing gum She's gone a chewing gum Chewing chewing gum Every time the moon would rise Molly she'd come around Rattle my window with a rock And head on down to the pond Well I'd run down as fast I could Molly she'd be getting skinny Diving and splashing in the pond Yes she sure was pretty Laughing splashing singing a tune Yes come out and play Won't you come and play with me Yes come out and play Gone a chewing gum ya Chewing chewing gum She's gone a chewing gum Chewing chewing gum Oh I'd laugh just to see such a sight Down at the old grove pond Well every time her moon would shine Yes I'd get a rise Well Molly would see I was feeling woody She'd back me into the trees Smiling laughing just like a beaver Well yes she was a grinning Laughing splashing singing a tune Yes come out and play Won't you come and play with me Yes come out and play Gone a chewing gum ya Chewing chewing gum She's gone a chewing gum Chewing chewing gum Molly oh Molly I'll never tell Not like that bastard William Heard him get chewed up pretty bad And sunk on down to the bottom Molly pretty Molly oh I miss you still Since you’ve come around I sing your song just to keep my thoughts And I sing your song for the gals Laughing splashing singing a tune Yes come out and play Won't you come and play with me Yes come out and play Gone a chewing gum ya Chewing chewing gum She's gone a chewing gum Chewing chewing gum

The Glow of Souls Well I'm bound down the same old road Yes I'm going down searching for a soul I'm bound down the same old road slow It’s the same old road Where all the souls They go Oh how I'd love to see my baby Yes how I'd love to see my child Oh how I'd love see my sweet little babe On the road of love Where all the souls They glow How'd I come to lose my babe? Oh how'd I come to lose my way? Did my old soul forget or ever see? Oh my soul is blind Help me come To see Oh how I'd love to see my baby Yes how I'd love to see my child Oh how I'd love see my sweet little babe On the road of love Where all the souls They glow It’s a dark and starless night Seems the moon has simply disappeared Just my baby to guide my soul down Oh my baby please Come and shine For me Oh how I'd love to see my baby Yes how I'd love to see my child Oh how I'd love see my sweet little babe On the road of love Where all the souls They glow The gods have long flown away The gods left with all their light Just you and me on the road love And the broken statues Shadows on our Souls Oh how I'd love to see my baby Yes how I'd love to see my child Oh how I'd love see my sweet little babe On the road of love Where all the souls They glow Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in yourself Have a little faith in being part Of the road of love Where all the souls They glow

'Blue' Green River Blues (adopted from Charley Patton's 'Green River Blues') I see a river, rollin' like a log I wade up green river, rollin' like a log I wade up green river, rollin' like a log Sure been hot, all summer coming on Sure been hot, all summer coming on That river's blue green, shining thick like oil Wind is rising, leaves trembling on the trees Wind is rising, leaves trembling on the trees Blue green drifting to shore with the breeze Cows and horses, drinking at the shore Cows and horses, gulping from the shore Then they, drop down fast, like the devil got their soul My dog he dropped down, spewing and bawling to My dog he dropped down, spewing and bawling to The devil grabbed him, shaking him till he's still It was late last night, everything was still It was late last night, everything was still Saw my sweet baby, go up on lonesome hill People drink green river, droppin down fast If you drink that river, you'll drop down fast If you drink green river, well you sure won’t last Some people say them green river blues ain't bad Some people say them green river blues ain't bad Must not have been them green river blues they had

First Good Snowfall I gaze laze in a dream of rolling hills naked poplar iced glazed figurines Patience of the snow Drifting down And resting on An outstretched limb Contentment In the stand of trees Quietly carrying Armfuls of crystal Calm The sputter Of my mind I gaze laze in a dream of rolling hills naked poplar iced glazed figurines birds colour the booming silence of the mountains deafening roar calm the sputter of my mind that makes me to feel senseless less sense sense less less sense sense less
