To court a fair young lady.

Her name was Devilish Mary.

- Hogan's Alley
Down in hogan's alley live a miss nancy ann
Cussing and a-fighting with her man
Well I thought I heard miss nancy sayin'
Why do you treat your girl that way
When walking down the alley late at night
Nancy and her man had just had a fight
Well he beat miss nancy across the head
- Love Proved False
I leaned my back against an oak,
Thinking it was a trusty tree,
But first it bowed and then he broke,
And so my love proved false to me.
Wherefore should I weed the flowers?
Wherefore should I tend my hedge?
For my true love has me forsook

Maybe she go
Maybe she don't go
Many a times she afraid to go
Maybe she do go
Sometimes she sit on the old front porch
Saying a nothing and making no sense
What be the use of making a change
- Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out
Once I lived the life of a millionaire,
Spending all my money, I just did not care.
Taking my friends out for a mighty good time,
Bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine.
Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends and nowhere to go.
If I get my hands on a dollar again,
- O Jerusalem
O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem
Sweet little baby born in a stable,
O Jerusalem in the morn.
O Jerusalem, O Jerusalem
Sweet little baby born in a stable,
O Jerusalem in the morn.
- Oh, My Babe
On my way I'm going to leave my home

Now I'm going I'm goin and it won't be long
If I go let me go
If I stay let me say
Hear me out and let me come back home
Tell my man I won't be home tonight
- Poor Little Jesus
It was poor little Jesus, yes, yes;
he was born on Christmas, yes, yes;
and laid in a manger, yes, yes;
wasn't that a pity and a shame, Lord, Lord,
wasn't that a pity and shame?
It was poor little Jesus, yes, yes;
child of Mary, yes, yes;
- Shout for Joy

She laid him in a manger. (Shout for joy)
Well there were angels watching over him, (Shout for joy)
And named him King Jesus. (Shout for joy)
- Sometimes I have a great notion
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in town
Sometimes I have a great notion
To jump into the river and drown
- Timber
You gotta haul that timber before the sun goes down
Drag it across the river before the boss comes around
You drag it on down that dusty road
Come on Jerry let's haul this load
Timber, timber
All that timber gotta roll
All that timber gotta roll
- Weeping Willow Blues
I went down to the river
Sat beneath a willow tree
You dropped all those willow leaves
And it fell right down on me
That's the reason I got those weeping willow blues
I went upon that old mountain
Out in the air to stand
- When I Was A Young Girl
When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
Out of the ale house into a jailhouse
My body is ruined, they've left me here to die
Get sixteen pretty maidens to carry my coffin
Sixteen pretty maidens to sing me a song
Put bunches of roses all over my coffin
