We fired once more, and they began to runnin', On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico! VERSE We looked down the river and we see the British come, There must of been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum. They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring, We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing. CHORUS VERSE Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise If we didn't fire our muskets 'til we looked them in the eyes. We held our fire 'til we see'd their faces well, Then we opened up our squirrel guns and resally gave 'em...Well! CHORUS VERSE They ran through the briars, and they ran through the brambles, And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go! They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico! VERSE We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down, So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round. We filled his head with cannonballs and powdered his behind, And when we touched the powder off, The gator lost his mind!

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico! 19.

Ahead of me I saw a tree A great big tree Oh glory be! Ahead of me I saw a tree, a great big tree, Oh glory be! The nearest branch Was ten feet up I'd have to jump And trust to luck The nearest branch was ten feet up, I'd have to jump and trust to luck! And so I jumped Into the air But I missed that branch A way up there. And so I jumped into the air but I missed that branch, a way up there! Now don't you fret And don't you frown. 'Cause I caught that branch On the way back down! Now don't you fret and don't you frown, 'cause I caught that branch on the way back down!

GALWAY BAY If you ever go across the sea to Ireland, Then maybe at the closing of the day You can sit and watch the moon rise over Cladaugh And watch the sun go down on Galway Bay. Just to hear again the ripple of the trout stream The women in the uplands making hay And watch the barefoot gosoons as they play. For the breezes blowin oer the sea from Ireland Are perfumed by the heather as they blow And the women in the uplands diggin praties speak a language that the strangers do not know. For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way. They scorned us just for beind what we are. But they might as well go chasing after rainbows, Or light a penny-candle from a star. 65.

THE STARS & STRIPES FOREVER by John Philips Sousa Let martial note in triumph float And liberty extend its mighty hand A flag appears ‘mid thunderous cheers, The banner of the Western Land. The emblem of the brave and true. Its fold protect no tyrant crew; The red and white and starry blue Is freedom’s shield and hope. Other nations may deem their flags the best And cheer them with fervid elation But the flag of the North and South and West Is the flag of flags, the flag of Freedom’s nation. Hurrah for the flag of the free! May it wave as our standard forever, The gem of the land and the sea, The banner of the right. Let despots remember the day When our fathers with mighty endeavor Proclaimed as they marched to the fray That by their might and by their right It waves forever. “Sousa himself wrote these words when he used his march as the finale to a ppatriotic pageant in 1898, just before the Spanish-American War. [Above] is the first verse; the first 12 lines are sung eith the main melody, the last nne lines with the trio (that’s the section with the fancy piccolo part).” - © 1996 by Victoria Doudera, “The Old Farmer’s Almanac” (1997 Edition), Yankee Publishing Co., Main Street, Dublin, NH 03444 156.

A TIDY FORTUNE IS OUR GOD Tune by Martin Luther Lyrics by MLD & REK A tidy fortune is our god, A bank account never failing. Protecting us with stocks and bonds, His interest all prevailing. What if the banks all bust? We have a sacred trust. Our dollars are secure; F.D.I.C. is sure. We won them all at Bingo! A grand annuity is our lord, With options every quarter. With clever loopholes by the horde, A trust fund for our daughter. And when we all grow old; We'll have our piles of gold. Social Security Won't be for us, you'll see. The Holy Bucks are boffo. To the tune of "Ein' Feste Burg" by Martin Luther - +1546 Lyrical adaptation by MLD & REK 169. TIE ME KANGAROO DOWN, SPORT!
