4) Hole in the ground

There was a hole, in the middle of the ground,

The prettiest hole that you ever did see

The hole in the ground

And the green grass grew all around and around,

And the green grass grew all around.

And In this hole there was a root…

And On this root there was a tree…

And On this tree there was a branch…

And On this branch there was a twig…

And On this twig there was a nest…

And In this nest there was an egg…

And In this egg there was a bird…

And On this bird there was a wing…

And On this wing there was a feather…

5) Jamaica Farwell

Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

I took a trip on a sailing ship

And when I reached Jamaica, I made a stop

But I’m sad to say, I’m on my way

Won’t be back for many a day

Me heart is down, me head is turning round

I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town

Down at the market you can hear

Ladies cry out while on their heads they bear

Ackee rice salt fish are nice

And the rum is fine, any time of the year

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro

I must declare that me heart is there

Though I’ve been from maim to mexico

6) The Banana boat song

Day O! Day –a –a- O!

Day light come and me wanna go home!

Day!Me say day (5) a-a-O!

Day light come and me wanna go home

Work all night and drinka rum

Stack banana till the morning come

Come mister tally man, tally me banana

Me say! Come mister tally man, tally me banana

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Me say! Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Day O! Day –a –a- o!

Day light come and me wanna go home!

Me say day O! Day-a-a-o!

A beautiful bunch of ripe banana

Hide de deadly black tarantula

.

Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Me say! Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

Day O! Day –a –a- o!

Day light come and me wanna go home!

Me say day O! Day-a-a-o!

7) Night time noises.

Night time noises, shapes and shadows, creeping ‘round my bed

That’s as if imagination, all inside my head.

I hear something big and furry, creeping ‘round the house

I’m so frightened please what is it? Silly it’s a mouse.

Two green eyes are at the window, staring at the mat.

I’m so frightened, please what is it? Silly it’s a cat.

I can see enormous fingers pointing right at me.

I’m so frightened please what is it? Silly it’s a tree.

I can see a great white face that’s looking in my room.

I’m so frightened please what is it? Silly it’s the moon.

Night time noises, shapes and shadows, couldn’t hurt aflee.

They were just imagination, all made up by me.

8) One by one

As the world was turning, long ago way back in time

Not a star was burning, only darkness filled the sky

Then the land was covered by the sun

Flowers started growing one by one. One by one

One by one came the leaves to the trees

One by one came the waves upon the seas

Came the Man and his wife, life had begun

They were blessed with little children on by one

Everyone a brother joining hands in song of praise

Helping one another, through the dawning of the age

Soon the bonds of friendship were undone

Fighting for their places in the sun. On by one

One by one came the boats to the shore

One by one went the young men to the war

Many died in the fight and few returned

One by one they told the lesson they had learned

One by one we must kneel, we must pray

One by one we must learn to love again

Let our children walk-out in the sun

Through the land lets all join hands one by one

One by one came the leaves to the trees

One by one came the waves upon the trees

Came the Man and his wife, life had begun

Let us all join hands together one by one

9) The twelve days of Christmas

On the first day of Christmas my true love sent to me

A partridge in a pear tree

Second day…two turtle doves

Third day…three French hens

Fourth day …four calling birds

Fifth day … five gold rings

Sixth day… six geese a-laying

Seventh day… seven swans’ a-swimming

Eight day… eight maids’ a-milking

Ninth day… nine drummers drumming

Tenth day… ten pipers piping

Eleventh day… eleven ladies dancing

Twelfth day … twelve lords a leapin

10) Blowing in the wind

How many roads must a man walk down,

Before you can call him a man?

How many seas must a white dove sail,

Before she sleeps in the sand?

How many times must the cannon ball fly,

Before its forever banned?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind.

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

The answer is blowing in the wind.

How many times must a man look up,

Before he can see the sky?

How many ears must one man have,

Before he can hear people cry?

How many deaths will it take till he knows,

That too many people have died?

(Chorus)

How many years must a mountain exist,

Before it is washed to the sea?

How many years must some people exist,

Before they’re allowed to be free?

How many times must a man turn his head,

Pretending he just doesn’t see?

(Chorus)

11) Una paloma Blanca

When the sun shines on the mountain and the night is on the run.

It’s a new day, it’s a new way. As I fly up to the sun.

I can see the morning sunlight. I can smell the new born hay.

I can hear Gods voices calling. From the golden starlight way

Una Paloma Blanca. I’m just a bird in the sky

Una Paloma Blanca. Over the mountains I fly

no one can take my freedom away

no one can take my freedom away

Once I had my share of loosing, as they locked me on a chain

Yes! They tried to take my power. Oh! I still can feel the pain

12) Matilda

Matilda, matilda, matilda

She take me money and run Venezuela (2)

Five hundred dollars friends I lost

What made me sell me cat and horse

Heya! Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela Matilda,

matilda, matilda, matilda

She take me money and run Venezuela (2)

Well de money was just inside me bed

Stuck-up in de pillow beneath me head

Heya! Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela

Matilda, matilda, matilda

She take me money and run Venezuela (2)

Well my friends, never to love again

All me money gone in vain

Heya! Matilda she take me money and run Venezuela

Matilda, matilda, matilda

She take me money and run Venezuela (2)

13) Puff the Magic Dragon

Puff the magic Dragon lived by the sea,

And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honaley

Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff

And brought him strings and ceiling wax

And other fancy stuff

Together they would travel on a boat with bellowed sails

Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puffs gigantic tail

Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came

Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name

Dragons live forever bur not so little boys

Painted wings and giant rings, made way for other toys

One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more

And Puff that mighty Dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow; green-scales fell like rain

Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane

Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave

So Puff that mighty Dragon sadly slipped into his cave.

14) Ging gang gooly gooly.

Ging gang gooly gooly watcha

Ging gang go. Ging gang go

Hey la ho, hey la shyla ho

Hey la shyla, shyla ho ho ho ho

Shaleewalee shaleewalee

Shaleewalee shaleewalee

Umpa umpa umpa

15) If we could consider each other

If we could consider each other

A neighbor, a friend or a brother

It would be a wonderful, wonderful world

It would be a wonderful world

I each little kid had fresh milk each day

If each old soul had some place to stay

If each working man had enough time to play

It would be a wonderful world

If people all over could trust one another

Not thinking about their race or their colour

If they would agree to join hands altogether

It would be a wonderful world.

16) It’s a small world after all

It’s a world of laughter a world of tears

It’s a world of hopes and a world of fears

There’s so much that we share,

That it’s time we’re aware,

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small world after all

It’s a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun

And a smile means friendship to everyone

Though the oceans are wide,

And the mountains divide,

It’s a small world after all
