A Londonderry Air

2. Yea, would to God I were among the roses
that lean to kiss you as you float between
while on the lowest branch a bud uncloses
a bud uncloses, to touch you, queen.
Nay, since you will not love, would I were growing
a happy daisy, in the garden path
that so your silver foot might press me going
might press me going even unto death.

Aloha Oe

2. ʻO ka haliʻa aloha i hiki mai
Ke hone aʻe nei i
Kuʻu manawa
ʻO ʻoe nō kaʻu ipo aloha
A loko e hana nei

3. Maopopo kuʻu ʻike i ka nani
Nā pua rose o Maunawili
I laila hiaʻia nā manu
Mikiʻala i ka nani o ka lipo

Amazing Grace

2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear,
the hour I first believed!

3. Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'twas grace has brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.

Auld Lang Syne

2. And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp and surely I'll be mine.
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet for auld lang syne.

3. We twa hae rin aboot the braes, and pu'd the gowans fine.
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit, sin auld lang syne.

4. We twa hae paidl'd i'the burn, frae morning sun till dine.
But seas between us braid hae roar'd, sin' auld lang syne.

5. And there's a hand, my trusty fiere and gie's a hand o'thine,
and we'll tak a right gude willie-waught for auld lang syne.

Aura Lee

2. In thy blush the rose was born, music, when you spake,
through thine azure eye the morn, sparkling seemed to break.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, birds of crimson wing,
never song have sung to me, as in that sweet spring.
(Refrain)

3. Aura Lee! The bird may flee, the willow's golden hair
swing through winter fitfully, on the stormy air.
Yet if thy blue eyes I see, gloom will soon depart;
for to me, sweet Aura Lee is sunshine through the heart.
(Refrain)

4. When the mistletoe was green, midst the winter's snows,
sunshine in thy face was seen, kissing lips of rose.
Aura Lee, Aura Lee, take my golden ring;
love and light return with thee, and swallows with the spring.
(Refrain)

Beautiful Minka

Careless Love

2. What, o what will mama say,
what, o what will mama say,
what, o what will mama say,
when she learns I’ve gone astray.

3. Now my money’s spent and gone,
now my money’s spent and gone,
now my money’s spent and gone,
you passed my door singin‘ a song.

4. Once I wore my apron low,
once I wore my apron low,
once I wore my apron low,
I couldn’t scardely keep you from y door.

5. Now my apron strings won’t low,
now my apron strings won’t low,
now my apron strings won’t low,
you pass my door and won’t come in.

6. How I wish that train would come,
how I wish that train would come,
how I wish that train would come,
and take my back where I come from.

Drunken Sailor

2. Put him in the long boat till he's sober …

3. Put him in the scuppers with a hose-pipe on him …

4. Shave his belly with a rusty razor …

5. Put him in bed with the captain's daughter …

6. Take him and shake him and try to awake him …

Go Down, Moses
