Lily Of The West When first I came to Louisville, some pleasure there to find A damsel there from Lexington was pleasing to my mind Her rosy cheeks, her ruby lips, like arrows pierced my breast And the name she bore was Flora, the lily of the west. I courted lovely Flora some pleasure for to find But she turned unto another man whose sore distressed my mind She robbed me of my liberty, deprived me of my rest Then go, my lovely Flora, the lily of the west. Away down in yonder shady grove, a man of high degree Conversin' with my Flora there, it seemed so strange to me And the answer that she gave to him it sore did me oppress I was betrayed by Flora, the lily of the west. I stepped up my rival, dagger in my hand I seized him by the collar, and bodly made him stand Seing mad by desperation I pierced him to the breast All this for lovely Flora, the lily of the west. I had to stand my trial, I had to make my plea They placed me in the witness box and then commenced on me Although she swore my life away, deprived me of my rest Still I love my faithless Flora, the Lily of the west. Can't Help Falling In Love Wise men say, only fools rush in But I can't help falling in love with you Shall I stay, will it be a sin If I can't help falling in love with you ? Like a river flows surely to the sea Darling, so it goes, some things were meant to be Take my hand, take my whole life too For I can't help falling in love with you. Sarah Jane

They started up Iwo Jima Hill, 250 men But only 27 lived to walk back down that hill again And when the fight was over and the old glory raised One of the men who held it high was the Indian Ira Hayes Call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war Call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war. Now Ira returned a hero, celebrated throughout the land He was wined and speeched and honored, everybody shook his hand But he was just a Pima Indian, no money crops, no chance And at home nobody cared what Ira had done and the wind did the Indian's dance Call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war Call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war. And Ira started drinking hard, jail was often his home They let him raise the flag there and lower it like you'd throw a dog a bone He died drunk early one morning, alone in the land he had fought to save Two inches of water in a lonely ditch was the grave for Ira Hayes Call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war Yes, call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war. Yes, call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, but his land is still as dry And his ghost is lying thirsty in the ditch where Ira died Call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war Yes, call him, Drunken Ira Hayes, he won't answer anymore Not the whiskey-drinking Indian or the marine who went to war. Mr. Bojangles I knew a man Bojangles and he'd dance for you in worn out shoes Silver hair, ragged shirt and baggy pants, that old soft shoe He'd jump so high, he'd jump so high, will he likely touch down ?

He said the name Bojangles and he danced a lick all across the cell He grabbed his pants for a better stance, oh he jumped so high and he clicked up his heels He let go laugh, he let go laugh, shook back his clothes all around Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, yeah, dance. He danced for those at minstrel shows and county fairs throughtout the south He spoke with tears of 15 years of how his dog and him but just travelled all about Hid dog up and died, he up and died, and after 20 years he still grieves Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance. He said I dance now at every chance at honky-tonks for drinks and tips But most of the time I spend behind these county bars,Òcause I drink so bitÓ He shook his head, yes he shook his head, I heard someone ask him, ÒpleaseÓ, Mr. Bojangles, Mr. Bojangles, dance, dance, Mr Bojangles, dance.

Spanish Is The Loving Tongue Broke my heart, lost my soul Adios,mi cora sole Spanish is the loving tongue Soft as music, light as spring It was a girl I learned it from Living down Sonora way Well, I don't look much like a lover Still I say her love words over Mostly when I'm all alone Mi amor, mi cora sole. Haven't seen her since that night I can't cross the line you know They want me for a gamblin' fight Like as not it's better so Still I always kind of missed her Since that last sad night I kissed her Broke her heart, lost my own Adios, mi cora sole Broke her heart, lost my own Adios, mi cora sole Adios, mi cora sole Adios, mi cora sole.
