Taking the Long Way (2006)

They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

Three Knights


Trad. [ Roud 26 ; Child 11 ; Ballad Index C011 ; Full English SBG/1/2/834]


The Shee

Murmurations (2012)

There were three knights came from the West,
With the high and the lily-o,
And these three knights courted one lady,
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

The first knight came was all in green,
With the high and the lily-o,
And asked of her if she'd be his queen.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

The next knight came was all in white,
With the high and the lily-o,
And asked of her if she'd be his delight,
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

The third knight came was all in red,
With the high and the lily-o,
And asked of her if she would wed,
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“Then you must ask of my Father dear,
With the high and the lily-o,
Likewise of her that did me bear?
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“And you must ask of my brother John?
With the high and the lily-o,
And also of my sister Anne.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

So he did ask of her father dear,
With the high and the lily-o,
Likewise of her that did she bear.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

And he did ask of her sister Anne,
With the high and the lily-o,
But did not ask of her brother John.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

Twas on the road as they rode along,
With the high and the lily-o,
There they did meet with her brother John.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

She stooped low to kiss him sweet,
With the high and the lily-o,
He to her heart did a dagger meet.

“Ride on, ride on,” cried the serving man,
With the high and the lily-o,
“Methinks your bride she looks wond'rous wan.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“I wish I was on yonder stile,
With the high and the lily-o,
There I would site and I'd bleed awhile.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“I wish I were on yonder hill,
With the high and the lily-o,
There I'd alight and I'd make my will.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“What would you give to your Father dear?”
With the high and the lily-o,
“The gallant steed that doth me bear.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“What would you give to your mother dear?”
With the high and the lily-o,
“My wedding gown that I do wear.
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“But she must wash it very clean,
With the high and the lily-o,
For my heart's blood sticks in ev'ry seam.”

“What would you give to your sister?”
“My gay gold ring and my feathered fan.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“What would you give to your brother?”
“A rope and gallows to hang him on.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

“What would you give to your brother?”
“A rope and gallows to hang him on.”
As the rose was so sweetly blown.

What would you give to your brother's wife?”
“A widow's weeds and a quiet life.”

Things of Beauty (1995)

Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,
sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä
ko immeiset onnee toevotti.
Peä oli märkänä jokaisella
ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti.
Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput.

Ievan äiti se kammarissa
virsiä veisata huijjuutti,
kun tämä poika naapurissa
ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti.
Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.

Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen
sain minä kerran sytkyyttee.
Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj
ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek.
Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.
Salivili.

Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi
en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa.
Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi
ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaa.
Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa
ko akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan.
Salivili.
Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää
ei mua niin voan nielasta.
Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään
vaan minä en luovu Ievasta,
sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa
sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan.

Awkward Annie (2007)

I gave to you a hen,
You gave it back again,
Without it's eggs,
My Annie.
I gave to you a hare,
You really didn't care,
Now it has no legs,
My Annie.

Oh Annie let me in,
I will fly, I will swim,
I will die if you don't come near me,
Oh no, don't you say so,
You are my dear, My Annie

I gave to you a dog,
You threw for it a log,
Now it won't come back,
My Annie.
I gave to you a pig,
Though it wasn't very big,
Now the meats all black,
My Annie.

I gave to you a cow,
You really don't know how,
It flew away,
My Annie.
I gave to you a horse,
I'm a silly fool of course,
For you rode away,
My Annie.

I gave to you my heart,
You tore it all apart,
When you rode away,
My Annie

Haul Her Away


Trad. [ Roud 395 ; Ballad Index FSWB086A]


Maddy Prior & The Girls

Bib & Tuck (2002)

Little Nancy Dawson
Haul her away!
She's got red flannel draws on
Haul her away!
So says the old bosun
Haul her away!
With a hauley high-o!
Haul her away!

Little Betty Baker
She ran off with a Quaker
Guess her mum could shake her
With a hauley high-o!

Little Suzie Skinner
She said she's a beginner
She prefers it to her dinner
With a hauley high-o!

Little Kitty Carson
She ran off with a parson
And she's got a little barson
With a hauley high-o!

Little Dolly Ducket
She washes in a bucket
She's a tart but doesn't look it
With a hauley high-o!

Little Sally Racket
She tore her new jacket
And she never did regret it
With a hauley high-o!

Little Nancy Dawson
She's got red flannel draws on
So says the old bosun
And hey, she knows on

Up my fightin' cocks, boys
Up and split her blocks, boys
And we'll stretch her luff, boys
And that'll be enough, boys

100 Years


Trad. Arr. Carthy Hardy Farrell Young / Kate Young


Carthy Hardy Farrell Young

Laylam (2013)

A hundred years on the Eastern Shore,
Oh, aye, oh!
'Tis a hundred years on the Eastern Shore,
A hundred years ago

A hundred years have passed an' gone,
'Tis a hundred years since I wrote this song.

They used to think that pigs can fly,
Can you believe that bloody lie?

They thought the stars were set alight
By a bunch of angels every night.

They thought the moon was made of cheese;
You can believe it if you please.

They thought the world was flat or square,
But old Columbus he never got there.

A hundred years here we go;
That's a hundred years through ice and snow.

Well, my little Doney Gal, don't you guess
Better be making your wedding dress
Wedding dress, wedding dress
Better be making your wedding dress

Well, it's already made, trimmed in green
Prettiest dress you've ever seen
Ever seen, ever seen
Prettiest dress you've ever seen

Well, it's already made, trimmed in red
Stitched and sewed with a golden thread
Golden thread, golden thread
Stitched and sewed with a golden thread

Well, it's already made, trimmed in brown
Stitched all around with a golden crown
Golden crown, golden crown
Stitched all around with a golden crown

Well, it's already made, trimmed in white
Gonna be married on Saturday night
Saturday night, Saturday night
Gonna be married on Saturday night

Well, she wouldn't say yes and she wouldn't say no
All she'd do was sit and sew
Sit and sew, sit and sew
All she'd do was sit and sew

Hit 'Em Up Style


Dallas Austin


Carolina Chocolate Drops

Genuine Negro Jig (2010)

While he was scheming
I was beamin' in the beamer, just beamin'
Can't believe that I caught my man cheatin'
So I found another way to make him pay for it all

So I went
To Neiman-Marcus on a shopping spree
And on the way I grabbed Soley and Mia
And as the cash box rang I threw everything away

Hey ladies
When your man wanna get buckwild
Just go back and hit 'em up style
Put your hands on his cash
And spend it to the last dime for all the hard times

Oh, when you go then everything goes
From the crib to the ride and the clothes
So you better let him know that
If he messed up, you gotta hit 'em up

There goes the dreams we used to say
There goes the time we went away
There goes the love I had but you cheated on me
And that's worth that now

There goes the house we made a home
There goes you'll never leave me alone
There goes the lies you told
This is what you owe

While he was braggin'
I was coming down the hill and just draggin'
All his pictures and his clothes in the bag and
Sold everything else till there was just nothin' left

And I paid
All the bills about a month too late
It's a shame we have to play these games
The love we had just fades away, fades away

Hey ladies
When your man wanna get buckwild
Just go back and hit 'em up style
Put your hands on his cash
And spend it to the last dime for all the hard times

Oh, when you go then everything goes
From the crib to the ride and the clothes
So you better let him know that
If he messed up, you gotta hit 'em up

Hey ladies
When your man wanna get buckwild
Just go back and hit 'em up style
Put your hands on his cash
And spend it to the last dime for all the hard times

Oh, when you go then everything goes
From the crib to the ride and the clothes
So you better let him know that
If he messed up, you gotta hit 'em up

Up On Cripple Creek


Robbie Robertson


The Band

The Band (1970)

When I get off of this mountain, you know where I want to go?
Straight down the Mississippi river, to the Gulf of Mexico
To Lake Charles, Louisiana, little Bessie, girl that I once knew
She told me just to come on by, if there's anything she could do

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Good luck had just stung me, to the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win and I bet on another to show
The odds were in my favor, I had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track, sure enough she had won

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

I took up all of my winnings, and I gave my little Bessie half
She tore it up and threw it in my face, just for a laugh
Now there's one thing in the whole wide world, I sure would like to see
That's when that little love of mine, dips her doughnut in my tea

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Now me and my mate were back at the shack, we had Spike Jones on the box
She said, "I can't take the way he sings, but I love to hear him talk"
Now that just gave my heart a throb, to the bottom of my feet
And I swore as I took another pull, my Bessie can't be beat

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

Now there's a flood out in California and up north it's freezing cold
And this living on the road is getting pretty old
So I guess I'll call up my big mama, tell her I'll be rolling in
But you know, deep down, I'm kind of tempted to go and see my Bessie again

Up on Cripple Creek she sends me
If I spring a leak she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one
