Quand j’étais chez mon père
Djé Laridon Laridaine
Garçon z’à marier Laridé
Je n’avais rien à faire
Qu’une femme à chercher
Maintenant j’en ai une
Elle me fait enrager
Elle m’envoie t’à la chasse
Souvent sans déjeuner
Et le soir quand j'arrive
Elle a toujours soupé
D’une poulette grasse
Et d’un pigeon ramier
Les os sont sous la table
Jean veux-tu les roucher
On nenni non ma Jeanne
J’aim’rais mieux m’coucher
Il s’tourne vers la muraille
Et se met à pleurer
Oh, pleure Jean mon Jean pleure
T’auras biau que d’pleurer
Tandis que je serai jeune
Je me divertirai
Et quand je serai vieille
Je me retirerai
Dans un biau presbytère
Avec un biau curé
Qu’aura du vin dans cave
Du lard dans son charnier

Mind The Gap - scottish

Standin' on the platform
Trying to make the first step
I know the train's a comin'
All I can hear is: mind the gap
I know the engine's hummin'
I know the wheels rattle and clap
I know the train is coming
All I can hear is: mind the gap
My trunk and my old suitcase
Those are two things that weigh me down
I'm sorry my sweet baby
Ain't gonna never leave this town
I wish I was a sparrow
Wish I had wings that fly and flap
But I'm only a human
All I can do is mind the gap
Standin' on the platform
Trying to make the first step
I heer some people cryin'...

Oh Lady Death - slow

Oh lady Death
Oh lady Death
Oh won't you spare me 'till 'nother year
I hear your breath
But I thought I have little to fear
My hot foot oil
Can't seem to make you go away
Can't seem to spoil
Your little fun cause you wanna stay
Oh lady pale
Oh won't you spare me, look at my age
Please, take my bail
Please don't you take me at this stage
My kids would pray
My wife would pray, if only she knew
What can she say
When you come out of the blue.

Ya un long voyage a faire, je ne sais pas qui le fera
Si je le dis à l'alouette, tout le monde le saura.
ref.: Tenez la belle voila la rose, mais le rosier n'y est pas
Rossignol du vert bocage m'a promis qu'il le ferait
Rossignol il prend son vol au château d'amour s'en va.
Trouva la porte fermée, par la fenêtre il entra
Il trouva trois dames à table poliment les salua
Bonjour l'une, bonjour l'autre, bonjour, la bell' que voilà !
Votre amant m'envoie vous dire que vous ne l'oubliez pas
J'en ai oublié bien d'autres, j'oublierai bien celui-là !
Ils nous font mille promesses, ma mie-ci et ma mie-la
Mais apres le mariage, ils ne disent plus cela,
S'il était venu lui-même, il n'eût point perdu ses pas
Nous aurions soupé ensemble mais nous n'y souperons pas
Nous aurions fait bien des choses que je ne vous dirais pas
Dis lui que l'amour des filles se merite au joli bois

Come To Sleep - mazurka

Come to sleep my baby
Come to sleep my dear
Your momma is a lady
And your daddy will keep near
Your momma's gone away
And your daddy's gonna stay
Come to sleep my baby
Come to sleep my babe
Come to sleep my darling
Come to sleep my love
Stars, they are a-starring
From the fields above
Everybody's gone
In the cotton and the corn
Come to sleep my baby
And don't you ever mourn
bridge:
She is long gone
With her red shoes on
And you and me
And the devil makes three
Come to sleep my baby
Come to sleep my babe
All yeses, noes and maybes
Will soon get washed away
Honey in the rock
And the sugar do not stop
Come to sleep my baby
The bottle's on the job
Come to sleep my sweetpea
Come to sleep my bear
World is gone all sleepy
And some things we can't bear
Come and lay your bones
On the alabaster stones
Come to sleep my sweetpea
Come and be my own
bridge:
'Cause you and me
And the devil makes three
And nobody knows
Where all the bad blood flows

Was all the summer, and all the fall,
Just trying to find my little all in all
But now she's gone, and I don't worry
Lord I'm sitting on top of the world
Was in the spring, one summer day
Just when she left me, she's gone to stay
Works all the summer and worked all the fall
I had to take my Christmas in my over-halls
Went to the station, down in the yard
Gone get me a freight train, worked on your hard
You called me up from down in Al Paso
You said "Come back, daddy, ooh, I need you so"
If you don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
'n Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
An' don't you come runnin', holdin' up your hand
Can't get me a woman, cranky you can get a man
Have been days, I didn't know your name
Why should I worry or cry in vain
The lonesome days, they have gone by
Why should you beg me oh say goodbye

I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm traveling in this world of woe
Yet there's no sickness, toil nor danger
In that fair land to which I go
I'm going there to see my Father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather ‘round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where the redeemed shall ever sleep
I'm going home to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm only going over Jordan
I'm only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather 'round me
I know my way is rough and steep
Yet beauteous fields lie out before me
Where God's redeemed, their vigils keep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just a-going over Jordan
I'm just a-going over home
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
I'm just a-going over home

Devant Bordeaux vient d’arriver
Un tout petit mignon navire
Devant Bordeaux dessus la rive
Toutes les dames vont le voir
Toutes les dames les demoiselles / … sur la rivière
Y a qu’la fille du président
Que nuit et jour son père garde / … dessus la rade
Il ne l’a pas si bien gardée
A mis le pied sur le navire / … dessus la rive
Elle ne fut pas sitôt montée
Que le navire mit à la voile / … dessus la rade
A La Rochelle est arrivé
Le tout petit joli navire / à La Rochelle dessus la rive
La jeune fille qui est dedans
La nuit le jour elle se lamente/ … dessus la lande
A terre à terre beau marinier
A terre à terre je t’en supplie / … dessus la rive
A terre à terre tu n’iras pas
Nous partons pour à la Martinique / … dessus la rive
Et de la Martinique au Cap
Et du Cap à la Jamaïque / … dessus la rive

Music & lyrics: Brother Dege a.k.a Dege Legg
Round and round
Round we go.
Where it stops?
Nobody knows it.
Side to side, baby,
Back and forth.
God above
And the devil below him.
You got your reasons
And I got my wants.
Still got that feeling
But I'm too old to die young now.
Too old to die young now.
Above or below the ground.
Yes, too old to die young now.
Still the good lord might lay me down.

Music & lyrics by Dirtwire: David Satori & Evan Fraser
Woke up and the well was dry
27 vultures in the sky
I don't know when and I don't know why
This is the year that the well went dry
I ate dust and dirt too many days
If I don't get a drink someone's gonna pay
The trees all died and withered away
Wild fires came and set them all ablaze
ref.: I don't know how much longer I got
Time to hit the road and find another spot
When the rain comes it all washes away
We lift our heads and this is what we say
The ranch is run down to the bone
And I can't get a god damn loan
I'll dig this hole till the day I die
This is the year that the well went dry
ref.: I don't know how much longer I got
Time to hit the road and find another spot
When the rain comes it all washes away
We lift our heads and this is what we say
Poison steals my last breath
Rattle snakes can eat my flesh
It was a rough ride until the end
But you know I'd do it again
