 Well you can tell the world about this
 You can tell the nation about that
 Tell'em what the master has done
 Tell'em that the gospel has come
 Tell'em that the big dream's been won
 He brought joy,joy,joy,joy,joy,joy,
 Into my heart

 Well my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Talked about the flames that burn in hell
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Now my Lord spoke, he spoke so well
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Talked about the children of Israel
 Yes he did, yes he did
 He brought joy,joy,joy into my heart

 (repat 1st verse)

 Well my Lord spoke, he spoke to me
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Talkin' about a man from Galilee
 Yes he did, yes he did
 My Lord spoke, he spoke to me
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Talkin' about a man from Galilee
 Yes he did, yes he did
 He hrought joy joy, joy into my heart

 (repeat 1st verse)

 Well I don't know but I've been told
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Streets of heaven are paved with gold
 Yes he did, yes he did
 Now the Jordan River is chilly and wide
 Yes he did, yes he did
 I got a home on the other side
 Yes he did, yes he did
 He brought joy,joy,joy into my heart

 (repeat 1st verse)








 Last night I had the strangest dream
 I ever dreamed before
 I dreamed the world had all agreed
 To put an end to war
 I dreamed I saw a mighty room
 The room was filled with men
 And the paper they were signing said
 They'd never fight again

 And when the papers all were signed
 And a million copies made
 They all joined hands end bowed their heeds
 And grateful prayers were prayed
 And the people in the streets below
 Were dancing round and round
 And guns and swords and uniforms
 Were scattered on the ground

 Last night I had the steangest dream
 I ever drmed before
 I dreamed the world had all agreed
 To put an end to war







 Fog's rollin' in off the East River bank
 Like a shroud it covers Bleeker Street
 Fills the alleys where men sleep
 Lies the shepherd from the sheep

 Voices leaking from a sad cafe
 Smiling faces try to understand
 I saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand
 On Bleeker Street

 A poet reads his crooked rhyme
 Holy, holy is his sacrament
 Thirty dollars pays your rent
 On Bleeker Street

 I head a church bell softly chime
 In a melody sustainin'
 It's a long road to Cainan
 On Bleeker Street
 Bleeker Street







 Who will love a little Sparrow?
 Who's traveled far and cries for rest?
 "Not I," said the Oak Tree,
 "I won't share my branches with
  no sparrow's nest,
 And my blanket of leaves won't warm
  her cold hreast."

 Who will love a little Sparrow
 And who will speak a kindly word?
 "Not I," said the Swan,
 "The entire idea is utterly absurd,
 I'd be laughed at and scorned if the
  other Swans heard."

 Who wiIl take pity in his heart,
 And who wiII feed a starving sparrow?
 "Not I," said the Golden Wheat,
 "I would if I could but I cannot I know,
  I need all my grain to prosper and grow."

 Who will love a little Sparrow?
 Will no one write her eulogy?
 "I will," said the Earth,
 "For all I've created returns unto me,
 From dust were ye made and dust ye shall be."












 Hello darkness, my old friend,
 I've come to talk with you again,
 Because a vision softly creeping,
 Left its seeds while I wos sleeping,
 And the vision that was planted in my brain
 Still remains
 Within the sound of silence.

 In resrless dreams I walked alone
 Narrow streets of cobblestone,
 'Neath the halo of a street lamp,
 I turned my collar to the cold and damp
 When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of
 a neon light
 That split the night
 And touched the sound of silence.

 And in the naked light I saw
 Ten thousand people, maybe more.
 People talking without speaking,
 People hearing without listening,
 People writing songs that voices never share
 And no one deared
 Disturb the sound of silence.

 "Fools" said I,"You do not know
 Silence like a cancer grows.
 Hear my words that I might teach you,
 Take my arms that I might reach you."
 But my words like silent raindrops fell,
 And echoed
 In the wells of silence

 And the people bowed and prayed
 To the neon god they made.
 And the sign flashed out its warning,
 In the words that it was forming.
 And the signs said, The words of the prophets
  are written on the subway walls
 And tenement halls.
 And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.





 He was my brother
 Five years older than I
 He was my brother
 Twenty-three years old the day he died

 Freedom writer
 They cursed my brther to his face
 Go home ousider
 This town's gonna be your buryin' place

 He was singin' on his knees
 An angry mob trailed along
 They shot my brother dead
 Beause he hated what was wrong

 He was my brother
 Tears can't bring him back to me
 He was my brother
 And he died so his brothers could be free
 He died so his brothers could be free







 As we marched down to Faneri-o
 As we marched down to Faneri-o
 Our captain fell n love with a lady like a dove
 And they called her name, pretty Peggy-o
 Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o
 Come a runnin' down the stairs, pretty Peggy-o
 Come a runnin' down the stairs, combin' back
  your yellow hair
 You're the prettiest little girl I've ever seen-o

 In a carriage you will ride, pretty Peggy-o
 In a carriage you wjll ride, pretty Peggy-o
 In a carriage you wiIl ride, with your true love by
  your side
 As far as any maiden in the ar-e-o
 What will your mother say, pretry Peggy-o?
 What will your mother say, pretty Peggy-o?
 What wiIl your mother say, when she finds you've
  gone away
 To places far and strange to Faneri-o?

 If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o
 If ever I return, pretty Peggy-o
 If ever I return, all your cities I will burn
 Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o
 Destroying all the ladies in the ar-e-o





   (Traditional)


 Hallelujah!
 Go tell it on the mountain
 Over the hills and everywhere
 Go tell it on the mountain
 Jesus christ is born

 Down the lonely manger
 The humble Christ was born
 And God sent salvation
 That blessed Christmas morn

 (repeat chorus)

 While shepherds kept their watch
 O'er silent flocks by night
 Behold throughout the heavens
 There shown a holy light

 (repeat chorus and 1st verse)

 (repeat chorus)







 The sun is burning in the sky
 Strands of clouds go slowly drifting by
 In the park the lazy breeze
 Are joining in the flowers, among the trees
 And the sun burns in the sky

 Now the sun is in the West
 Little kids go home to take their rest
 And the couples in the park
 Are holdin' hands and waitin' for the dark
 And the sun is in the West

 Now the sun is sinking low
 Children playin' know it's time to go
 High above a spot appears
 A little blossom blooms and then draws near
 And the sun is sinking low

 Now the sun has come to Earth
 Shrouded in a mushroom cloud of death
 Death comes in a blinding flash
 Of hellish heat and leaves a smear of ash
 And the sun has come to Earth

 Now the sun has disappeared
 All is darkness, anget, pain and fear
 Twisted, sightles wrecks of men
 Go groping on their knees and cry in pain
 And the sun has disappeared







 Come gather 'round people
 Wherever you roam
 And admit that the waters
 Around you have grown
 And accept it that soon
 You'll be drenched to the bone.
 If your time to you
 Is worth savln'
 Then you better start Swimmin'
 Or you'll sink like a stone
 For the times they are a-changin'.

 Come writers and critics
 Who prophesize with your pen
 And keep your eyes wide
 The chance won't come again
 And don't speak too soon
 For the wheel's still in spin
 And there's no tellin' who
 That it's namin'.
 For the loser now
 Will be later to win
 For the times they are a-changin'.

 Come senators, Congressmen
 Please heed the call
 Don't stand in the doorway
 Don't block up rhe hall
 For he that gets hurt
 Will be he who has stalled
 There's a battle outside
 And it is ragin'.
 It'Il soon shake your windows
 And rattle your walls
 For the times they are a-changin'.

 Come mothers and fathers
 Throughout the land
 And don't criticize
 What you can't understand
 Your sons and your daughters
 Are heyond your command
 Your old road is
 Rapidly agin'.
 Please get out of the new one
 If you can't lend your hand
 For the times they are a-changin'.

 The line it is drawn
 The curse it is cast
 The slow one now
 Will later be fast
 As the present now
 Will later be past
 The order is
 Rapidly fadin'.
 And the first one now
 Will later be last
 For the tilnes they are a-changin'.







 I can hear the soft breathing
 Of the girl that I love,
 As she lies here beside me
 Asleep with the night,
 And her hair, in a fine mist
 Floats on my pillow,
 Reflecting the glow
 Of the winter moonlight.

 She is soft, she is warm,
 But my heart remains heavy,
 And I watch as her breasts
 Gently rise, gently fall,
 For I know with the first light of dawn
 I'll be leaving,
 And tonight will be
 All I have left to recall.

 Oh, what have I done,
 Why have I done it,
 I've committed a crime,
 I've broken the law.
 For twenty-five dollars
 And pieces of silver,
 I held up and robbed
 A hard liquor store.

 My life seems unreal,
 My crime an illusion,
 A scene badly written
 In which I must play.
 Yet I know as I gaze
 At my young love beside me,
 The morning is just a few hours away.
