DRUID UKES’ SUN SALUTATION:
KEEP ON THE SUNNY SIDE/YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE MASH-UP
There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
There’s a bright and a sunny side too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view
CHORUS
Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life
The storm and its fury broke today
Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear
Clouds and storms will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear
REPEAT “SUNNY SIDE” CHORUS
(You Are My Sunshine)
CHORUS
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried
REPEAT “SUNSHINE” CHORUS
REPEAT “SUNNY SIDE” CHORUS
“ANGEL FROM MONTGOMERY,” JOHN PRINE
I am an old woman
Named after my mother
My old man is another child who’s grown old
If dreams were lightning and thunder were desire
This old house would’ve burned down a long time ago
CHORUS
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this livin’ is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy
He weren’t much to look at, just a free ramblin’ man
But that was a long time and no matter how I tried
The years just flowed by like a broken down dam
REPEAT CHORUS
There’s flies in the kitchen I can hear ‘em there buzzin’
And I ain’t done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
REPEAT CHORUS
“LEAVING ON A JET PLANE,” JOHN DENVER
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go, I’m standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say good-bye
But the dawn is breaking, it’s early morn, the taxi’s waiting, he’s blowing his horn
Already I’m so lonesome I could die
CHORUS
So, kiss me and smile for me, tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There’s so many times I’ve let you down, so many times I’ve played a round
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, I’ll think of you, every song I sing, I’ll sing for you
When I come back, I’ll bring your wedding ring
REPEAT CHORUS
Now the time has come to leave you, one more time, let me kiss you
Then close your eyes, and I’ll be on my way
Dream about the days to come, when I won’t have to leave alone
About the time I won’t have to say
REPEAT CHORUS
I’m leaving on a jet plane. Don’t know when I’ll be back again
(slowly) Oh, babe, I hate to go.
“I’M GONNA BE (500 MILES),” THE PROCLAIMERS
When I wake up, well, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who wakes up next to you
When I go out, yeah, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who goes along with you
If I get drunk, well, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you
And if I haver,* hey, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s havering to you
[* “haver” is pronounced “hay-ver”.]
CHORUS
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
When I’m working, yes, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s working hard for you
And when the money comes in for the work I do
I’ll pass almost every penny on to you
When I come home (when I come home), oh, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who comes back home to you
And if I grow old, well, I know I’m gonna be

When I’m lonely, well, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who’s lonely without you
And when I’m dreaming, well, I know I’m gonna dream
I’m gonna dream about the time when I’m with you
When I go out (when I go out), well, I know I’m gonna be
I’m gonna be the man who goes along with you

And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
to fall down at your do-o-or
“WILD FLOWERS,” THE WAILIN’ JENNYS
CHORUS
You belong among the wild flowers
You belong on a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free
Sail away, go find a lover
Go away, somewhere bright and new
I’d see no other
That compares with you
You belong among the wild flowers
You belong on a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by
You belong among the wild flowers
You belong somewhere close to me (close to me)
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free
“LET IT BE,” THE BEATLES
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness, she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
CHORUS
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
REPEAT CHORUS
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
“RAMBLIN’ MAN,” THE ALLMAN BROTHERS
CHORUS
Lord, I was born a ramblin’ man
Tryin’ to make a livin’ and doin’ the best I can
And when it’s time for leavin’
I hope you’ll understand
That I was born a ramblin’ man
My father was a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin’ down highway 41
REPEAT CHORUS
I’m on my way to New Orleans this mornin’
I’m leaving out of Nashville, Tennessee
They’re always having a good time down on the bayou, Lord
Them delta women think the world of me
REPEAT CHORUS
“THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND,” WOODY GUTHRIE
CHORUS:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
And saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me, a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling
In the wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and
Nobody living can ever stop me
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can make me turn back
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
This land was made for you and me
“WAGON WHEEL,” OLD CROW MEDICINE SHOW
Headed down south to the land of the pines. Thumbin’ my way into North Caroline
Starin’ up the road and prayin’ to God I see headlights
I made it down the coast in seventeen hours. Pickin’ me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I’m ahoping for Raleigh so I can see my baby tonight
CHORUS:
So rock me, mama, like a wagon wheel
Rock me, mama, any way you feel
Hey, mama, rock me
Rock me, mama, like the wind and the rain
Rock me, mama, like a southbound train
Hey, mama, rock me
Runnin’ from the cold up in New England. I was
Born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
I play the uke. She picks a banjo now
Oh, the north country winters keep a gettin’ to me
Lost my money playin’ poker so I had to leave but I
Ain’t aturnin’ back livin’ that old life no more
REPEAT CHORUS
Walkin’ to the south, out of Roanoke, I caught a
Trucker out of Philly, had a nice long toke
But he’sa headed west from the Cumberland Gap to Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta getta move on before the sun, I hear my
Baby callin’ my name and I know that she’s the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free
REPEAT CHORUS
“MARGARITAVILLE,” JIMMY BUFFETT
Nibblin’ on sponge cake, watching the sun bake, all of these tourists covered with oil
Strummin’ my four-string, on my front porch swing, smell those shrimp, they’re beginning to boil
CHORUS:
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know – it’s nobody’s fault
I don’t know the reason, I stayed here all season. Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo
But it’s a real beauty, a Mexican cutie. How it got here, I haven’t a clue
CHORUS:
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
Now I think, it could be my fault
I blew out my flip flop, stepped on a pop-top. Cut my heel, had to cruise on back home
But there’s booze in the blender and soon it will render that frozen concoction that helps me hang
CHORUS:
Wastin’ away again in Margaritaville
Searching for my lost shaker of salt
Some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s my own damn fault
Yes, some people claim that there’s a woman to blame
But I know it’s my own damn fault
“I’LL FLY AWAY,” ALBERT E. BRUMLEY
Some bright morning when this life is over
I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore
I’ll fly away
CHORUS:
I’ll fly away, oh glory
I’ll fly away, in the morning
When I die, hallelujah by and by
I’ll fly away
When the shadows of this life have gone
I’ll fly away
Like a bird from these prison walls I’ll fly
I’ll fly away
REPEAT CHORUS
Just a few more weary days and then
I’ll fly away
To a land where joy will never end
I’ll fly away
REPEAT CHORUS
Oh, how glad and happy when we meet
I’ll fly away
No more cold iron shackles on my feet
I’ll fly away
REPEAT CHORUS
“JOLENE,” DOLLY PARTON
CHORUS:
Jolene, Jo-lene, Jo-lene, Jo-le-e-ene
I’m begging of you, please, don’t take my man
Jo-lene, Jo-lene Jo-lene Jo-le-e-ene
Please, don’t take him just because you can
Your beauty is beyond compare with flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring, your voice is soft like summer rain
and I can not compete with you, Jo-lene
He talks about you in his sleep. There’s nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jo-lene
And I can easily understand how you could easily take my man
But you don’t know what he means to me, Jo-lene
REPEAT CHORUS
You could have your choice of men but I could never love again
He’s the only one for me, Jo-lene
I had to have this talk with you. My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jo-lene
REPEAT CHORUS
“I’VE JUST SEEN A FACE,” THE BEATLES
I’ve just seen a face. I can’t forget the time or place where we just met
She’s just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we’ve met
hmmm humm humm humma
Had it been another day, I might have looked the other way and
I’d have never been aware, but as it is I’ll dream of her tonight
Da da da da da da
Falling, yes, I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
I have never known the likes of this. I’ve been alone and I have
Missed things and kept out of sight for other girls were never quite like this
Dada da da da da
Falling, yes, I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
Falling, yes, I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
I’ve just seen a face. I can’t for get the time or place where we just met
She’s just the girl for me and I want all the world to see we’ve met
Da da da da da da
Falling, yes, I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
Falling, yes, I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
Falling, yes, I am falling and she keeps calling me back again
“HEY, GOOD LOOKIN’,” HANK WILLIAMS
Say, hey, good lookin’, whatcha got cookin’ ?
How’s about cookin’ something up with me ?
Hey, sweet baby, don’tcha think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?
I got a hotrod Ford and a two dollar bill and I know a spot right over the hill
There’s soda pop and the dancin’s free. So if you wanna have fun, come along with me
Say, hey, good lookin’, whatcha got cookin’?
How’s about cookin’ something up with me?
I’m free and ready, so we can go steady
How’s about savin’ all your time for me
No more lookin’, I know I been tooken
How’s about keepin’ steady company?
I’m gonna throw my date book over the fence and find me one for five or ten cents
I’ll keep it ‘til it’s covered with age ‘cause I’m writin’ your name down on every page
Say, hey, good lookin’, whatcha got cookin’?
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up, how’s about cookin’ somethin’ up
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me?
“TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS,” JOHN DENVER
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze
CHORUS:
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads
All my memories gather ‘round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
REPEAT CHORUS
I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour, she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road, I get a feelin’ that I
Should’ve been home yesterday, yesterday
REPEAT CHORUS TWICE
Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
