Peter, Paul & Mary - Babylon/oh Sinner Man - lyrics

By the waters, the waters of babylon
We sat down and wept, and wept for thee zion
We remember, we remember, we remember thee zion
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to
All on that day
Run to the rock, rock was a meltin
Run to the sea, sea was a boilin
Run to the moon, moon was a bleedin
Run to the lord, lord wont you hide me?
Lord said sinner man, you shoulda been a prayin
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to
Oh, sinner man, where you gonna run to
All on that day?

Peter, Paul & Mary - And When I Die - lyrics

Refrain:
And when I die, and when Im dead, dead and gone,
Therell be one child born and a world to carry on,
Therell be one child born to carry on.
Im not scared of dyin and I dont really care
If its peace you find in dyin, well, then let the time be near;
If its peace you find in dying, when dyin time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin, cause its cold way down there.
(refrain)
My troubles are many, theyre as deep as a well,
I can swear there aint no heaven, but I pray there aint no hell.
Swear there aint no heaven, pray there aint no hell,
But Ill never know by livin, only my dyin will tell
Only my dyin will tell.
(refrain)
Give me my freedom, for as long as I be,
All I ask of livin is to have no chains on me.
All I ask I of livin is to have no chains on me,
And all I ask of dyin is to go naturally
I only wanna go naturally.
And when I die, and when Im gone,
Therell be one child born and a world to carry on,
Therell be one child born to carry on.
Comin as I go, and a world to carry on.
Therell be one child born to carry on.

Peter, Paul & Mary - 75 Septembers - lyrics

In the year of the yellow cab
In the shadow of the great world war
The third kid grandmom had
Came into this world
On a rolling farm in maryland
When wilson was the president
And summer blew her good-bye through the trees
A child of changing times
Growing up between the wars
The fords rolled off the line
And bars all closed their doors
And I imagine you back then
With snap brim hat and farmers tan
Where horses drew their wagons through the fields
Chorus:
Now the fields are all four lanes
And the moons not just a name
Are you more amazed at how things change
Or how they stay the same
And do you sit here on this porch and wonder
How the time flies by
Or does it seem to barely creep along
With 75 septembers come and gone
Were the fields all gold and fawn
Was the spring house dark and cool
Did the rooster crow at dawn
When they got you up for school
And would you tell me once again
The tales of grandads hired men
And how they drove the old road to town
Chorus:

Peter, Paul & Mary - All Mixed Up - lyrics

You know this language that we speak,
Is part german , latin and part greek
Celtic and arabic all in a heap,
Well amended by the people in the street
The choctaw gave us the word okay;
Vamose is a word from mexico way.
And all of this is a hint I suspect of what comes next.
Chorus:
I think that this whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up.
Soon mama my whole world
Soon mama my whole wide world
Soon mama my whole world
Soon gonna be get mixed up.
I like polish sausage, I like spanish rice,
And pizza pie is also nice
Corn and beans from the indians here
Washed down by german beer
Marco polo traveled by camel and pony,
He brought to italy, the first macaroni
And you and I as well were able,
We put it all on the table
(chorus)
There were no red-headed irishmen
Before the vikings landed in ireland
How many romans had dark curly hair
Before they brought slaves from africa?
No race of man is completely pure,
Nor is anyones mind, thats for sure
The winds mix the dust of every land,
And so will woman and man.
(chorus)
This doesnt mean we will all be the same,
Well have different faces and different names
Long live many different kinds of races
Its a difference of opinion that makes horse races
Just remember the rule about rules, brother
What could be right for one could be wrong for the other
And take a tip from la belle france: viva la difference!
(chorus)

Peter, Paul & Mary - All Through The Night - lyrics

Sleep my child and peace attend thee, all through the night.
Guardian angels God will send thee, all through the night.
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber steeping
I, my loved one, watch am keeping, all through the night.
Angels watching ever round thee, all through the night
In thy slumbers close surround thee, all through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber steeping
I, my loved one, watch am keeping, all through the night.

Peter, Paul & Mary - A Soalin' - lyrics

Hey ho, nobody home, meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry, hey ho, nobody home.
Hey ho, nobody home, meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet shall we be merry, hey ho, nobody home.
Hey ho, nobody home.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for peter, two for paul, three for him who made us all.
God bless the master of this house, and the mistress also
And all the little children that round your table grow.
The cattle in your stable and the dog by your front door
And all that dwell within your gates
We wish you ten times more.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for peter, two for paul, three for him who made us all.
Go down into the cellar and see what you can find
If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind
We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber
For well come no more a soalin till this time next year.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for peter, two for paul, three for him who made us all.
The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin.
I have a little pocket to put a penny in.
If you havent got a penny, a ha penny will do.
If you havent got a ha penny then God bless you.
Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,
One for peter, two for paul, three for him who made us all.
Now to the lord sing praises all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace..
This holy tide of christmas of beauty and of grace,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

Peter, Paul & Mary - All My Trials - lyrics

All my trials lord, soon be over.
I had a little book was given to me,
And every page spelled liberty.
All my trials lord, soon be over.
If religion were a thing that money could buy,
The rich would live and the poor would die.
All my trials lord, soon be over.
Too late my brothers, too late, but never mind.
All my trials lord, soon be over.
There is a tree in paradise
The pilgrims call it the tree of life
All my trials lord, soon be over.
Too late my brothers, too late, but never mind.
All my trials lord, soon be over.
All my trials lord, soon be over.

Peter, Paul & Mary - Apologize - lyrics

I would like to apologize for my friend, here;
He hasnt been himself for a long, long time.
From the beginning of his minding
Other peoples dids and donts.
He could excuse himself but he wont
And Im sorry if we busted up your party.
Yes, there was a girl in his life, and then some!
He was had by her and a good time by all.
She was exactly half at fault
He thought the other was his own
So only half the man has grown
And its taking him sometime to get together.
He was the first kid on his block to have one;
And he wants to share it with you all of the time.
He takes advantage of your kindness;
Says he needs that just to live
He doesnt want you to forgive him
But he thinks you might if you have half a mind to.
Yes, I think I would enjoy some coffee;
Ive had a lot to think in the past few days.
And if I told you all the ways
My friend and I were not to blame
Youd see yourself as just the same
So I think Ill wait and save that for the next time.

Peter, Paul & Mary - Autumn To May - lyrics

Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown
I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run
His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide
Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red
Hed lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head
Hed speak of far off places, of things to see and do,
Of all the kings and queens hed met while sailing in a shoe.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather
Id keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather
And every day the sun would shine, theyd fly all through the town
To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.
Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail
She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail
The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly
And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.
Sing tarry-o day, sing, autumn to may.

Peter, Paul & Mary - 500 Miles - lyrics

If you miss the train Im on, you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Lord Im one, lord Im two, lord Im three, lord Im four,
Lord Im 500 miles from my home.
500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles, 500 miles
Lord Im five hundred miles from my home.
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way
This a-away, this a-way, this a-way, this a-way,
Lord I cant go a-home this a-way.
If you miss the train Im on you will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
