2) I've Been Working on the Railroad

I’ve been working on the railroad

All the live-long day

I’ve been working on the railroad

Just to pass the time away

Can’t you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up so early in the morn

Can’t you hear the captain shouting

"Dinah, blow your horn!"

Dinah, won’t you blow?

Dinah, won’t you blow?

Dinah, won’t you blow your horn?

Dinah, won’t you blow?

Dinah, won’t you blow?

Dinah, won’t you blow your horn?

Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah

Someone’s in the kitchen, I know

Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah

Strummin’ on the old banjo

And he’s singin’

"Fee-fi-fiddley-i-oh!

Fee-fi-fiddley-i-oh!

Fee-fi-fiddley-i-oh!"

Strummin’ on the old banjo, oh

Strummin’ on the old banjo

I’ve been working on the railroad

All the live-long day

I’ve been working on the railroad

Just to pass the time away

Can’t you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up so early in the morn

Can’t you hear the captain shouting

"Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, blow your horn!"

3) Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice

Three blind mice

See how they run

See how they run

They all ran after the farmer’s wife

She cut off their tails with a carving knife

Did you ever see such a sight in your life

As three blind mice?

Repeat


Mickey
4) Oh, Susanna!

Oh, I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

And I’m going to Louisiana, my true love for to see

Well, it rained all night the day I left

The weather it was dry

The sun so hot, I froze to death

Susanna, don’t you cry

Oh, Susanna! Oh, don’t you cry for me

For I come from Alabama with my banjo on my knee

I had a dream the other night

When everything was still

I thought I saw Susanna a-coming down the hill

A buckwheat cake was in her mouth

A tear was in her eye

Says I, "I’m coming from the South

Susanna, don’t you cry"

Oh, Susanna! Oh, don’t you cry for me

For I’m going to Louisiana with my banjo on my knee

Repeat Last Verse


Mickey
5) The Man on the Flying Trapeze

He floats through the air with the greatest of ease

The daring young man on the flying trapeze

His actions are graceful, all girls he does please

And my love he has stolen away

Repeat


Mickey
6) The Blue-Tail Fly (Jimmy Crack Corn)

When I was young, I used to wait on master

And hand him his plate

I’d pass the bottle when he got dry

And brush away the blue-tail fly

Chorus:

Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care

Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care

Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care

My master’s gone away

One day he rode around the farm

The flies so numerous, they did swarm

One chanced to bite him on the thigh

The devil take the blue-tail fly

Repeat Chorus Twice

8) Home on the Range

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day


Mickey
9) It Ain't Gonna Rain No More

It ain’t gonna rain no more, no more

It ain’t gonna rain no more

How in the heck can I wash my neck

If it ain’t gonna rain no more?

Repeat


Mickey
10) A Bicycle Built for Two

Daisy, Daisy

Give me your answer, do

I’m half crazy

All for the love of you

It won’t be a stylish marriage

I can’t afford a carriage

But you’ll look sweet upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two

Repeat

 


Mickey
11) Mary Had a Little Lamb
Mary had a little lamb

Little lamb, little lamb

Mary had a little lamb

Its fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went

Everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day

School one day, school one day

It followed her to school one day

That was against the rule

It made the children laugh and play

Laugh and play, laugh and play

It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school

"Why does the lamb love Mary so, Mary so, Mary so?

Why does the lamb love Mary so?" the eager children cried

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know, lamb, you know, lamb, you know

Mary loves the lamb, you know," the teacher did reply


Mickey
12) Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Take me out to the ball game

Take me out to the crowd

Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack

I don’t care if I ever get back

’Cause it’s root, root, root for the home team

If they don’t win, it’s a shame

For it’s one, two, three strikes, you’re out

At the old ball game

Repeat

19) In the Good, Old Summertime

In the good, old summertime

In the good, old summertime

Strolling through the shady lanes

With your baby mine

You hold her hand and she holds yours

And that’s a very good sign

That she’s your tootsie-wootsie

In the good, old summertime

Repeat

20) Animal Fair

I went to the animal fair

The birds and the beasts were there

The big baboon, by the light of the moon

Was combing his auburn hair

The monkey, he got drunk

And sat on the elephant’s trunk

The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees

And that was the end of the monk

Said a flea to a fly in a flue

Said the flea, "Oh, what shall we do?"

Said the fly, "Let us flee!"

Said the flea, "Let us fly!"

So they flew through a flaw in the flue

I went to the animal fair

The birds and the beasts were there

The big baboon, by the light of the moon

Was combing his auburn hair

The monkey, he got drunk

And sat on the elephant’s trunk

The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees

And that was the end of the monk, the monk, the monk, the monk!


Mickey
21) Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Mickey
23) Pop! Goes the Weasel

All around the cobbler’s bench

The monkey chased the weasel

The monkey thought ’twas all in fun

Pop! goes the weasel!

I’ve no time to wait and sigh

No patience to wait ’til by and by

So kiss me quick, I’m off -- good-bye!

Pop! goes the weasel!

A penny for a spool of thread

A penny for a needle

That’s the way the money goes

Pop! goes the weasel!

You may try to sew and sew

And never make something regal

So roll it up and let it go

Pop! goes the weasel!

Repeat first verse


Mickey
24) Dixie

I wish I was in the land of cotton

Old times there are not forgotten

Look away, look away, look away, Dixieland

In Dixieland where I was born

Early on one frosty mornin’

Look away, look away, look away, Dixieland

Chorus:

I wish I was in Dixie, hurray! Hurray!

In Dixieland I’ll take my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away, away down south in Dixie

Away, away, away down south in Dixie

Repeat Chorus

 


Mickey
25) Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

When the blazing sun is gone

When he nothing shines upon

Then you show your little light

Twinkle, twinkle all the night

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are

Twinkle, twinkle, little star

How I wonder what you are
