There's a star in the east on Christmas morn Rise up shepherd and follow It'll lead to the place where the Savior's born Rise up shepherd and follow Leave your ewes and leave your lambs Rise up shepherd and follow Leave your sheep and leave your rams Rise up shepherd and follow Follow, follow Rise up shepherd and follow Follow the Star of Bethlehem Rise up shepherd and follow If you take good ...
It's a strange song 'Bout a boy who went wrong Who tried to make it up Inside his heart and start again To make a manse For livin' his strange life He's never made a change life Until one day he found himself alone With only him And oh how dim his future seemed On that day He searched to find a better way to be a man And as he tried He cast away his foolish pride And I understand His strange s...

Did you know All my reserve was just pretend? Did you know I was only posin? as your friend? Did you know? Did my eyes play on your face too long? Did they say how much I needed you? Did the words I try to say in jest Seem to come out soundin? much too true? Did you know Could you see through my disguise? Did you know Or does my love come as a surprise? Did you know? I can?t believe you haven?...
Chorus: If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life, Never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view, Get an ugly girl to marry you. Chorus A pretty woman makes her husband look small, And very often causes his downfall. As soon as he marries her, then she starts, To do the things that will break his heart. But if you make an ugly woman your wife, You'll be happy for...
Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy Got to break that stone Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy Got to break that stone Well, the moon still in the sky An' the sleep still in you eye But when you hear me sing You better make dem hammers ring Wake up and go down Emanuel Road, man and boy Got to break that stone Go down Emanuel Road, man and boy Got to break that stone Well, you had a big time last ...
When shadows fall and stars appears A pain I feel I cannot hear If I could relive that faithful day I would not turn my love away I reveal how I do adore her Hang my heart on my sleeve just for her All my love thru out life assure her If this moment I could Amour her When I think of her tender lips Gentle touch of her finger tips Reminisce on her eyes so fair Moonlight soft on her downy hair I...
What burns and glows without flame? What lives and grows without rain? What brings a smile that lasts for a little while That makes me cry without shame? How can you please me then torture And tease me and do it in the name of love? Don't you know how to be nice? You'd leave me without thinking twice Your wall has an oven when you want a little lovin' And you go from fire to ice How can you pl...
Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters, your shining sand As morning breaks, the Heaven on high I lift my heavy load to the sky Sun comes down with a burning glow Mingles my sweat with the earth below Oh island in the sun Built to me by my father's hand All my days I will sing in praise Of your forest waters, your shining sa...
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 My heart is down, my head is turning around 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 Akkisai s...

Here comes the doo doo, flying up the street Running like the fire burning on his feet Casting his eye left to the right Looking for a place he can duck out of sight Here come the goomba goomba, rumbling up the road Looking for somebody to fill up the load A big fat cat he had, get off the bag Scooping up the striker, lest given him a whack Come on boy, jump inside Come on, boy, we gonna take ...
I wonder why nobody don't like me Or is it the fact that I'm ugly? I wonder why nobody don't like me Or is it the fact that I'm ugly? I leave my whole house and home My children don't want me no more Bad talk inside the house they bring And when I talk they start to sing ?Mama, look a boo boo,? they shout Their mother tell them, ?Shut up your mouth? ?That is your daddy, oh, no My daddy can't b...
Many times I've been told by the wise and the old Something good I'm supposed to remember If my first love I'll found in, in the warm of July It'll cool in the, in the nip of September Now they point to the skies To the old and wise And they speak of a chill in the air But I don't care Oh, still I love my summertime love Still I love the kissing and the codding Still I love my summertime love ...
Jesus, our brother, kind and good Was humbly born in a stable of wood And the friendly beasts around Him stood Jesus, our brother, kind and good I said, the donkey, shaggy and brown I carried His mother up hill and down I carried His mother to Bethlehem town I said, the donkey, shaggy and brown I said, the sheep with curly horn I gave Him my wool for a blanket warm He wore my coat on Christmas...
I think of Andy in the cold wet clay Those three are on my mind With his comrades down beside him On that brutal day Those three are on my mind There lies young James in his final pain Those three are on my mind So I ask the killers, "Can you see those three again? Those three are on my mind" I see dark eyed Michael With his dark eyed bride Those three are on my mind And three proud mothers We...
Try to remember the kind of September When life was slow and oh, so mellow Try to remember the kind of September When grass was green and grain was yellow Try to remember the kind of September When you were young and callow fellow Try to remember and if you remember Then follow, follow Try to remember when life was so tender When noone wept except the willow Try to remember when life was so te...
Water boy Where are you hiding? If you don't come right here Gonna tell your pa on you There ain't no hammer On this mountain That ring like mine, boy That ring like mine I'm gonna whoop this rock, boy From here to the Macon All the way to the jail, boy All the way to the jail You jack 'o diamond Jack 'o diamond Know you're I know you are of old You don't rob my pockets Rob my pockets Silver a...
