Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens
One night farmer Brown was takin’ the air
Locked up the barnyard with the greatest of care
Down in the hen house something stirred
When he shouted, “Who’s there?”
This is what he heard
There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So calm yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
We chickens tryin’ to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, with your chin
There ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
You’re stompin’ around and shakin’ the ground
Kicking up an awful dust
We chickens tryin’ to sleep and you butt in
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble, it’s a sin
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin’, gettin’ chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Tomorrow is a busy day
We got things to do, we got eggs to lay
We got ground to dig and worms to scratch
It takes a lot of sittin’, gettin’ chicks to hatch
Oh, there ain’t nobody here but us chickens
There ain’t nobody here at all
So quiet yourself and stop that fuss
There ain’t nobody here but us
Kindly point the gun the other way
And hobble, hobble, hobble, hobble off and hit the hay
Hey, hey boss man, what do you say?
It’s easy, pickin’s, there ain’t nobody here but us chickens
ok Musicians and whoever, check the list and see if there are any other songs you’d like to add before I do the final assembly. I would like to get this task checked off my to do list. The idea is if there’s a song you love to play and wish people knew the words or visa versa - post the lyrics. I’ll add it to the book. I’m a little concerned if the musicians will play along, they might need music? Suggestions welcome.

White Bird
White Bird
In a golden cage
On a winter’s day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone
The leaves blow
Cross the long black road
To the darkened skies
In its rage
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Unknown.
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird
Dreams of the aspen tree
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old.
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
The sunsets come
The sunsets go
The clouds Float by
And The Earth Turns slow
And the Young Birds Eyes
Do always Glow
And She must fly
She must fly
She must fly
White bird
In a golden cage
On a winter’s day
In the rain
White bird
In a golden cage
Alone
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
I have the sheet music for big rock candy mountain. It has ligature for guitar and ukelele/mando. Let me know if I should xerox, the copyright is 1935 so I tend to not move it around a lot.
:cheers :cheers
I would say yes.
Copy it - I wish you could scan it and send it to me.

Any other Beatles songs?
I’ve Just Seen a Face Lyrics
Artist(Band):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, mmm-mmm-mmm-m’mmm-mmm.
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, di-di-di-di’n’di.
Falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
I have never known
The like of this, I’ve been alone
And I have missed things
And kept out of sight
But other girls were never quite
Like this, da-da-n’da-da’n’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.
Oh, falling, yes I am falling,
And she keeps calling
Me back again.
Sugar Magnolia- by, um…duhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Sugar magnolia, blossoms blooming, heads all empty and I dont care,
Saw my baby down by the river, knew shed have to come up soon for air.
Sweet blossom come on, under the willow, we can have high times if youll abide
We can discover the wonders of nature, rolling in the rushes down by the riverside.
Shes got everything delightful, shes got everything I need,
Takes the wheel when Im seeing double, pays my ticket when I speed
She comes skimmin through rays of violet, she can wade in a drop of dew,
She dont come and I dont follow, waits backstage while I sing to you.
Well, she can dance a cajun rhythm, jump like a willys in four wheel drive.
Shes a summer love for spring, fall and winter. she can make happy any man alive.
Sugar magnolia, ringing that bluebell, caught up in sunlight, come on out singing
Ill walk you in the sunshine, come on honey, come along with me.
Shes got everything delightful, shes got everything I need,
A breeze in the pines and the sun and bright moonlight, lazing in the sunshine yes
Indeed.
Sometimes when the cuckoos crying, when the moon is half way down,
Sometimes when the night is dying, I take me out and I wander around, I wander
round.
Sunshine, daydream, walking in the tall trees, going where the wind goes
Blooming like a red rose, breathing more freely,
Ride our singin, Ill walk you in the morning sunshine
Sunshine, daydream. sunshine, daydream. walking in the sunshine.
I knew it was the Greatful Dead, I missed them in my musical growth. I was into Fela and the alternative rock bands in San Francisco when my friends were deadheading - I was hosting international drum parties and missed this boat but my good friends didn’t. I’ll add it to the book.

Let’s Talk Dirty In Hawaiian
(John Prine and Fred Koller)
©1988 Spoondevil Music/Pink Sky Music: Lucrative Music (BMI)
Well I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
To the land of the tall palm tree
Aloha old Milwaukee, hello Waikiki
Just stepped off of the airplane
When I heard her say
Wacka wacka nooka licka
Wacka wacka nooka licka
Would you like a lei
Chorus:
Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka macawa wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coconut on my tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
Let’s talk dirty in Hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear
Well it’s a ukulele Honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from a pineapple
Out on Honolulu bay
Steel guitars are a playing
While she’s talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oka doka
Make a wish I wanta polka
Words I understand
Repeat Chorus
Well I bought a lotta junka with my mula
Sent it to the folks back home
Well I never had a chance to dance the hula
But I guess I should have known
When you’re talking to the sweet wahini
Walking in the pale moonlight
Oka doka what a set of
Knocka rocka sis boom bakas
Hope I said it right
Repeat Chorus

If we are going with Beatles’ songs, how about:
(I am not camping in Town Park, so don’t worry about adding the song to your book, I just really like it)
Rocky Raccoon
Now somewhere in the black mountain hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon
And one day his woman ran off with another guy
Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn’t like that
He said I’m gonna get that boy
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room
Only to find Gideon’s bible
Rocky had come equipped with a gun
To shoot off the legs of his rival
His rival it seems had broken his dreams
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magil and she called herself Lil
But everyone knew her as Nancy.
Now she and her man who called himself Dan
Were in the next room at the hoe down
Rocky burst in and grinning a grin
He said Danny boy this is a showdown
But Daniel was hot-he drew first and shot
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.
Now the doctor came in stinking of gin
And proceeded to lie on the table
He said Rocky you met your match
And Rocky said, Doc it’s only a scratch
And I’ll be better I’ll be better doc as soon as I am able.
Now Rocky Raccoon he fell back in his room
Only to find Gideon’s bible
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky’s revival.
That’s brilliant. I’m singing already. Rocky Raaacooooo, stepped into his room…
Great Pick!
