Same old man working at the mill,
The mill turns around of its own free will,
Hand in the hopper and the other in the sack,
Ladies, step forward, and the gents fall back.
Up, said the raven, as she flew,
If I were a young man, I'd have two;
One for to fetch and the other for to sow,
And I'd have a little string for my bow bow bow.
Down, said the owl -- her head all white,
A lonesome day and a lonesome night,
I thought I heard a pretty girl say,
Court all night and sleep the next day.
Out in the marsh the heron strides.
Get up early 'fore the sun she rides.
Morning in the barnyards, fields in the noon,
fiddle in the evening by the light of the moon.
My old man is from Kalamazoo,
He don't wear no "yes I do",
First to the left and then to the right,
This old mill grinds day and night.
Third verse 2000, Bruce Ling, hawksandowls.com
Recorded in March, 2002. Bruce Ling: mandolin and lead vocal. Nick Kroes: the other stuff |

Talk to the man who can if you will
prosper in the valley of the Tennessee hills.
Oh, the big cat spit in the little kitten's eye
Little cat, little cat don't you cry
I do love liquor and we'll all take a dram,
I'm going to tell you, pretty Polly Ann
Cattle in the pasture, hogs in the pen,
Sheep on the ranch and wheat in the bin.
Wagon in the shed, porter in the yard,
Meat in the smokehouse, big can of lard.
Fruit in the cellar, cheese on the board,
Big sack of coffee and sugar in the gourd.
Horse in the stable, money in the pocket
Baby in the cradle and a pretty girl to rock it. |

Hesitation blues
I'm standing on a corner with a dollar in my hand.
Looking for a woman who's looking for a man.
How long do I have to wait?
Can I get you now or must I hesitate?
The eagle on the dollar says "In God we trust".
This woman wants a man, but wants to see a dollar first.
A nickel is a nickel, a dime is a dime.
I've got a house full of children, not one of them mine.
Cocaine's for horses. It's not for men
Doc says it'll kill you, but he don't say when.
I'm standing on the corner of 4th Street and Main.
Looking for the medicine to take away this pain.

Amelia Earhart's Last Flight
A ship out on the ocean sees a speck against the sky.Amelia Earhart flying that sad day,
with her partner, Captain Noonan on the 2nd of July.
She went across the ocean far away.
She radioed position to say that all was well,
although the fuel inside her tank was low.
She'd stop on Howland island and refuel her monoplane,
then on her trip around the world she'd go.
It's a beautiful, beautiful field
far away in a land that is fair.
Happy landings to you, Amelia Earhart.
Farewell, first lady of the air.
Just half an hour later, the SOS was heard,
the signal faint, yet still the voice was brave.
In the shark-infested waters, the small plane disappeared.
Amelia went down to her watery grave.
So, now you've heard the story of this awful tragedy.
We pray that she'll fly safely home again.
In years to come as others blaze their trail across the sky,
we'll ne're forget Amelia and her plane.

Leaving home
Frankie and Johnny were sweethearts.
They had a quarrel one day.
Johnny vowed he'd leave her.
He said he was going away.
Never coming home, going away to roam.
Frankie she begged and pleaded,
saying, oh my Johnny, please stay.
Oh, now, my honey, I've done you wrong
but, please don't go away.
And Johnny sighed while Frankie cried,
Oh, I'm going away.
I'm a-going to stay.
I'm never coming home.
You're gonna miss me, honey,
in the days to come
when the winter winds begin to blow,
the ground is covered up with snow,
When you think of me,
you're gonna wish me back,
your loving man.
You're gonna miss me honey
in the day they say's to come.
Frankie says to her Johnny,
"Say, man, your hour has come."
From beneath her silk kimono,
she drew a .44 gun.
These love affairs are hard to bear.
Johnny fled down the stairway,
Saying "oh now, Frankie, don't shoot.
Frankie took aim with the .44.
as the gun went rooty-toot-toot.
As Johnny fell, then Frankie yelled,
Send for your rubber-tired hearses.
Call for a double-seated hack.
Carry old Johnny to the graveyard.
I've shot him in the back
with a great big gun. Has the preacher begun?
Call for some policemen
to take me right away.
Lock me up in the dungeon cell
and throw the key away.
My Johnny's dead, because he said... |

Johnson's Promenade
Hit the road at half past seven
Northern skies looked like rain
And knew as I drove past your door
I'd never see this town again
Jump up, boys, and grab your girl
Promenade around the world
Hop high, ladies, find your man
Swing him 'round as best you can
Have you seen my black-eyed Susie?
She left here with Liza Jane.
And if you speak to handsome Molly,
Tell her to come back home again
Every time I pass your door,
I wish that it would open wide.
Every time I pass your door
I know there's someone else inside
When you say you won't be staying.
Are you really all that sad?
When I heard what you were saying
I knew the past was all we had.
Have you seen my black-eyed Susie?
Have you seen my Liza Jane?
Have you seen my handsome Molly?
Have you seen my Colerain?
Lined up for the final dance
The autumn sky was filled with tears
Trying to find another chance
To reinforce our stupid fears
Have you seen my Darling Cory?
Have you seen by Nellie Gray?
Have you seen my Barbara Ellen?
Have you seen Sarah McCray?
