BABY BELUGA Raffi
C
Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea, G
Swim so wild and you swim so free. G7
Heaven above, and the sea below, C
And a little white whale on the go.
F C D
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, is the water warm? D G G7 C G
Is your mama home with you, so happy. C
Way down yonder where the dolphins play, C
Where they dive and splash all day, G7
The waves roll in and the waves roll out, C
See the water squirting out of your spout.
F C D
Baby beluga, baby Beluga, sing your little song, D G G7 C G
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you. When it's dark, you're home and fed, Curl up snug in your water bed. Moon is shining and the stars are out, Good night, little whale, goodnight. Baby beluga, baby Beluga, with tomorrow's sun,
Another day's begun, you'll soon be waking. Chorus - Baby Beluga in the deep blue sea . . . .

BLOWIN’ IN THE WIND – Bob Dylan
C F C
How many roads must a man walk down F F C
Before you call him a man? C F C
Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail F G
Before she sleeps in the sand? C F C
Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon balls fly C F C
Before they're forever banned?
Chorus:
F G C Am
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, F G C
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head, Pretending he just doesn't see?
Chorus: The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind . . . .
F G C Am F G C
How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died?

BOBBY MCGEE FOSTER & KRISTOFFERSON
C
Busted flat in Baton Rouge headin' for the trains G7
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained C
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana C7 F
And was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time and C
Bobby clappin' hands we finally G7 C C7
Sang up every song that driver knew
Chorus: F C
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose G7 C C7
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free F C
Feelin' good was easy Lord, when Bobby sang the blues G7
And feeling good was good enough for me C Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the coalmines of Kentucky to the California sun,
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul,
Standin' right beside me through everythin' I done,
And every night she kept me from the cold.
Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away,
She was lookin' for the home I hope she'll find,
Well I'd trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday,
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine.
Chorus: Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose . . . Lie la lie

Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, Am F G C
lie la lie, lie la lie la la lie la la la lie. And then at the end of the 4th verse: C Em G G7 C
leading me, going home
C Am
When I left my home and my family, I was no more than a boy G
In the company of strangers G7 G6 C
In the quiet of a railway station, running scared Am G F
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters C
Where the ragged people go G G7 F C
Looking for the places only they would know Chorus : Lie la lie, Lie la lie la lie la lie, Lie la lie, Lie la lie la la la la, lie la la la la lie.

CIRCLE GAME - Joni Mitchell C F Em
Yesterday a child came out to wonder C F G
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar C F Em
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder F G C
And tearful at the falling of a star C F Em
Then the child moved ten times 'round the seasons C F G
Skated over ten clear frozen streams C F Em
Words like, when you're older, must appease him F G C
And promises of someday make his dreams
CHORUS: C G C
And the seasons, they go 'round and 'round C G C
And the painted ponies go up and down F C
We're captive on a carousel of time F
We can't return, we can only look Em F
behind from where we came Em F G C
And go 'round and 'round and 'round in the circle game
Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now Cartwheels turn to car wheels through the town And they tell him, take your time it won't be long now 'Till you drag your feet to slow the circles down
CHORUS: And the seasons they go round and round . . . .
So the years spin by and now the boy is twenty Though his dreams have lost some grandeur coming true There'll be new dreams, maybe better dreams and plenty Before the fast revolving year is through
CHORUS: And the seasons they go round and round . . .

FIELDS OF ATHENRY Paddy Reilly (Pete St. John)
* Alternate: Capo II: E = D; A = G; B7 = A; C#m = Bm B7 E E
By a lonely prison wall A E B7
I heard a young girl calling E A B7
Michael, they are taking you away E A
For you stole Trevelyn's corn E B7
So the young might see the morn. E A E
Now a prison ship lies waiting in the bay.
Chorus: E A E C#m
Low lie the Fields of Athenry E C#m B7
Where once we watched the small free birds fly. E A E B7
Our love was on the wing we had dreams and songs to sing E A E
It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
By a lonely prison wall I heard a young man calling Nothing matter Mary when your free, Against the Famine and the Crown I rebelled they cut me down Now you must raise our child with dignity.
Chorus
By a lonely harbor wall She watched the last star falling As that prison ship sailed out against the sky Sure she'll wait and hope and pray For her love in Botany Bay It's so lonely 'round the Fields of Athenry.
Chorus

Folsom Prison Blues Johnny Cash
Intro: / B7 - - - / - - - - / E - - - / - - - - / - - - - / - - - - /
E (8) I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' 'round the bend, And I ain't seen the sunshine, Since, I don't know when, A (4) I'm stuck in Folsom Prison, E (4) And time keeps draggin' on, B7 (4) But that train keeps a-rollin', E (2) On down to San Antone. E (8)
When I was just a baby, My Mama told me, "Son, Always be a good boy, Don't ever play with guns," A (4)
But I shot a man in Reno, E (4)
Just to watch him die, B7 (4)
When I hear that whistle blowin', E (2)
I hang my head and cry. E (8)
I bet there's rich folks eatin', In a fancy dining car, They're probably drinkin' coffee, And smokin' big cigars, A (4)
But I know I had it comin',
30.
Chorus E (4) I know I can't be free, B7 (4) But those people keep a-movin', E (2) And that's what tortures me. E (8) Well, if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine, I bet I'd move out over a little, Farther down the line, A (4) Far from Folsom Prison, E (4) That's where I want to stay, B7 (4) And I'd let that lonesome whistle, E (2) Blow my blues away. / B7 - - - / - - - - / E - - - / E (hold) /

GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK H. C. Work & Erich Doll
G D
My grandfather's clock G C
Was too large for the shelf G D G
So it stood ninety years on the floor D G C
It was taller by half than the old man himself G D G
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more G
It was bought on the morn C G
Of the day that he was born G A D
And was always his pleasure and pride G D
But it stopped short G C
Never to go again G D G
When the old man died REFRAIN
G
Ninety years without slumbering Tick-Tock, Tick- tock, Tick-tock
His life seconds numbering Tick-Tock, Tick- tock, Tick-tock D G C
But it stopped, short, never to go again G D G
When the old man died Continued over . . .
37.
My grandfather said that of those he could hire Not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time and had but one desire At the close of each week to be wound
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face And its hands never hung by its side But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died REFRAIN G
Ninety years without slumbering Tick-Tock, Tick- tock, Tick-tock
His life seconds numbering Tick-Tock, Tick- tock, Tick-tock G D G C
But it stopped, short, never to go again G D G
When the old man died Verse It rang and alarmed in the dead of the night An alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight That his hour for departure had come
Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped short, never to go again When the old man died REFRAIN Ninety years without slumbering . . . .

The gypsy rover came over the hill, C G G Em D7

"He's king of free lands all o-ver,
And I shall stay 'til my dying day
with the whistling gypsy ro-o—-o-ver."

HALLELUJAH Leonard Cohen
C Am F G E
C ..... Am ..... C ..... Am .....
C Am
I've heard there was a secret chord C Am
That David played, and it pleased the Lord F G C G
But you don't really care for music, do you?
C F G
It goes like this... the fourth, the fifth Am F
The minor fall, the major lift G E Am
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
CHORUS
F Am
Hallelujah, Hallelujah F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--------jah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah . . . .
Baby, I have been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march
41.
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah Chorus: F Am Hallelujah, Hallelujah F C G C G
Hallelujah, Hallelu--------jah
Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who has seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah . . . .
You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well, really... what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah . . . .
I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah . . . .

I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine I walk the line

THE MARY ELLEN CARTER Stan Rogers D A D G A D Tuning, Capo 5th Fret
G G/F# C G She went down last October in a pouring driving rain Am x2 C D The skipper he'd been drinking, and the mate he felt no pain G G/F# C G Too close to Three Mile Rock and she was dealt her mortal blow Amx2 Dx2 And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low G G/F# C D G There was just us five aboard her when she finally was awash Am C D We worked like hell to save her, all heedless of the cost G G/F# C G And the groan she gave as she went down it caused us to proclaim Am D G That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again
Break: G/F# / C / D / G / G/F# / C / D
Well the owners wrote her off, not a nickel would they spend "She gave twenty years of service, boys, then met her sorry end. But insurance paid the loss to us, so let her rest below." Then they laughed at us and said we had to go. But we talked of her all winter, some days around the clock She's worth a quarter million floating at the dock And with every jar that hit the bar we swore we would remain And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
CHORUS: Am D G G/F# C
Rise again, rise again D C G D
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men G G/F# C D G
All those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end C D G
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again Continued over
77.
Break: C / D / G / G/F# / C / D
All spring now we've been with her on a barge lent by a friend
Three dives a day in a hardhat suit and twice I've had the bends
Thank God it's only sixty feet and the currents here are slow
Or I'd never have the strength to go below
But we've pathed her rents, stopped her vents, dogged hatch and porthole down
Put cables to her, fore and aft, and girded her around
Tomorrow noon, we hit the air and then take up the strain
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again
CHORUS: Rise again . . . .
For we couldn't leave her there, you see, to crumble into scale
She'd saved our lives so many times, living through the gale
And the laughing, drunken rats who left her to a sorry grave
The won't be laughing in another day...
And you, to whom adversity has dealt its final blow
With smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go
Turn to, and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again!
CHORUS: Am D D G/F# C
Rise again, rise again D C G D
That her name not be lost to the knowledge of men G G/F# C D G
All those who loved her best and were with her 'til the end C D G Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again Repeat Chorus

MOLLY MALONE ‘COCKLES & MUSSELS’

In Dublin's fair city, Em A
where the girls are so pretty, D Bm Em A
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, D Bm
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow, Em A
Through streets broad and narrow, D Em A D A D
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
CHORUS D Bm "Alive, alive, oh, Em A Alive, alive, oh",
D F#m A D Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
She was a fishmonger,
And sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
CHORUS Alive, alive, oh . . . .
She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!
Alive, alive-O! alive, alive-O!
Crying cockles and mussels, alive, alive-O!

MR. TAMBOURINE MAN Bob Dylan
CHORUS F G C F
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, C F G
I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to. F G C F
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me, C F G C
In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you.
F G C F
Though I know that evenings empire has returned into sand, C
Vanished from my hand, C F G
Left me blindly here to stand but still not sleeping. F G C F
My weariness amazes me, I'm branded on my feet, C F
I have no one to meet C F G
And the ancient empty street's too dead for dreaming.
CHORUS: Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me . . .
Take me on a trip upon your magic swirling ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wandering. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. CHORUS: Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me . . .
82.
Though you might hear laughing, spinning, swinging madly across the sun,
It's not aimed at anyone, it's just escaping on the run
And but for the sky there are no fences facing.
And if you hear vague traces of skipping reels of rhyme
To your tambourine in time, it's just a ragged clown behind,
I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're
Seeing that he's chasing.
CHORUS: Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me . . . BRIDGE Then take me disappearing through the smoke rings of my mind,
Down the foggy ruins of time, far past the frozen leaves,
The haunted, frightened trees, out to the windy beach,
Far from the twisted reach of crazy sorrow.
Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky with one hand waving free,
Silhouetted by the sea, circled by the circus sands,
With all memory and fate driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.
CHORUS: Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me . . .

ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI
G C G
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
D7 G
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed.
C G
It rolled off the table and onto the floor.
D7 G
And then my poor meatball rolled right out the door.
It rolled in the garden, and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball, was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be,
And then the next summer, it grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered, all covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs with tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatballs, and don't ever you sneeze

PENNY LANE – The Beatles
Capo II A F#m Bm E7
In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs A F#m Am
of ev'ry head he's had the pleasure to know F E7
And all the people that come and go stop and say hello
A F#m Bm E7
On the corner is a banker with a motor car. A F#m Am
The little children laugh at him behind his back. F E7
And the banker never wears a "mac" in the pouring rain, very strange.
Chorus: G Bm C
Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. G Bm C E7
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies. I sit and meanwhile back In Penny Lane there is a fireman with an hour glass. And in his pocket is a portrait of the queen. He likes to keep his fire engine clean, it's a clean machine. Chorus: Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes. Full of fish and finger pies in summer meanwhile Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
Wet beneath the blue suburban skies. I sit and meanwhile back
Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout The pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray And though she feels as if she's in a play She is anyway.
In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer. We see the banker sitting, waiting for a trend And then the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain, very strange. Chorus: Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.

Now Paul is a real estate novelist Who never had time for a wife And he's talking with Davy, who's still in the Navy And probably will be for life And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessman slowly gets stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinking alone
Chorus Sing us a song, you're the piano man Sing us a song tonight Well, we're all in the mood for a melody And you've got us all feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been coming to see
To forget about life for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doing here?"

Sandwiches are fine. D
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time; Em
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch; D Em

Sound of Silence Simon & Garfunkel
CAPO: 6
Am G
Hello darkness, my old friend, Am
I've come to talk with you again, F C
Because a vision softly creeping, Am F C
Left its seeds while I was sleeping, F C
And the vision that was planted in my brain Am
Still remains G Am
Within the sound of silence. Verse 2
In restless 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.
Verse 3
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
123.
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence. Verse 4 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
Verse 5 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 sign said, the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls.
And whispered in the sounds of silence.

THE GAMBLER Kenny Rogers
E A E On a warm summer's evenin' on a train bound for nowhere, E B7 I met up with the gambler; we were both too tired to sleep. E A E So we took turns a starin' out the window at the darkness E B7 E 'til boredom overtook us, and he began to speak. E A A E He said, "Son, I've made a life out of readin' people's faces, B7 and knowin' what their cards were by the way they held their eyes. E A E And if you don't mind my sayin', I can see you're out of aces. A/E E B7 E For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice." E A E So I handed him my bottle and he drank down my last swallow. B7 Then he bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light. E A E And the night got deathly quiet, and his face lost all expression. A E B7
He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy, ya gotta learn to play it E right.
CHORUS: E E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, A E B7
know when to walk away and know when to run. E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. E E A E B7 E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.
125.
Verse 4 Ev'ry gambler knows that the secret to survivin'
is knowin' what to throw away and knowing what to keep.
'Cause ev'ry hand's a winner and ev'ry hand's a loser,
and the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep."
And when he'd finished speakin', he turned back towards the
window,
crushed out his cigarette and faded off to sleep.
And somewhere in the darkness the gambler, he broke even.
But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep.
CHORUS: E E A E
You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, A E B7
know when to walk away and know when to run. E A E
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table. E E A E B7 E
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealin's done.

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
Canadian version by ‘The Travelers’ adapted from Woodie Guthrie
Chorus: C F C C This land is your land, this land is my land,
G C From Bonavista, to Vancouver Island
F C From the Arctic Circle to the Great Lakes waters,
G C This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway;
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.
Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land . . . .
I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps,
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts;
While all around me a voice was sounding,
Saying this land was made for you and me.
Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land . . . .
The sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling;
As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting,
This land was made for you and me.
Chorus: This land is your land This land is my land original USA version: From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and Me.

THE UNICORN SONG
Shel Silverstein (Recorded by The Irish Rovers)
C G A long time ago when the Earth was green, F C G C There was more kinds of animals than you'd ever seen. F They'd run around free when the Earth was being born, C G C But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn. C G There was green alligators and long-necked geese, C Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. F F Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born, C C G C The loveliest of all was the unicorn. Now God seen some sinning and it gave Him a pain. And He says, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain!" He says, "Hey, Brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do, Build me a floating zoo," "and take some them....... Green alligators and long-necked geese, Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees. Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born. Don't you forget My unicorn." Old Noah was there to answer the call, He finished up making the ark just as the rain started pourin' He marched in the animals two by two, And he called out as they went through, "Hey Lord," "I gotcha green alligators and long-necked geese,
128.
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but Lord, I'm so forlorn,
I just can't see no unicorn!"
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain,
Them unicorns were hiding, playing silly games.
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pourin',
Oh, them silly unicorns!
There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Noah cried, "Close the door cause the rain's pourin'
And we just can't wait for those unicorn!"
The ark started moving, it drifted with the tides,
Them unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried.
And the waters came down and sort of floated them away,
And that's why ya never seen a unicorn to this very day.
You'll see green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
You're never gonna see no unicorn

G D
Heading down south to the land of the pines Em C
I'm thumbing my way into North Caroline G D C
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights G D
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours Em C
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers G G D C
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight CHORUS G D

Rock me momma any way you feel G D C
Hey, momma rock me G D
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain Em C

Walkin' to the south out of Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he's a-heading west from the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
I gotta get a move-on before the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
CHORUS: Oh, so rock me momma like a wagon wheel

It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, C G

I'm worried now but I won't be worried long!
Went across the river, I lay down to sleep;

When I woke up, had shackles on my feet!
Twenty-one links of chain around my leg;
Twenty-one links of chain around my leg;
And on each link, there's an initial of my name!
The train ride is twenty-one coaches long;
Train I ride is twenty-one coaches long;
And the gal I love, is on that train and gone!
Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Asked that judge what's gonna be fine;
Twenty-one years on that rooky mountain line!
Twenty-one years to pay my awful Crime!
Twenty-one years to pay my awful crime!
Twenty-one years! And I still got ninety-Nine!
