You’re the One (Tracy Chapman, arr Polly Bolton)
Some say you’re crazy, say you’re no good
Say your family’s cursed with bad blood
But I think you’re cute and misunderstood
And I wouldn’t change you if I could
Let them talk you down,
Call you names
My mind’s made up it ain’t gonna change
I’m sure in my heart
Happy and free
You’re the one, you’re the one,
You’re the one for me.
Some say you’re bitter, think you’re mean
Uncouth, untamed and unrestrained,
But I think you’re sensitive and sweet,
Stay as you are don’t change a thing.
Some say you’re bawdy, wicked and wild,
A restless useless juvenile
But I think you’re funny and I like your smile
Want to be with you want you to stay a while
Some say you’re bad,
A bad bad seed
You love to play with fire you love gambling
But I know what you love and I know what you need
And I like it when you play with me…

May You Never (Lay Your Head Down)
May you never lay your head down without a hand to hold
May you never make your bed out in the cold
May you never lose your temper if you get hit in a bar-room fight
May you never lose your woman overnight
Just like a great strong brother of mine, you know that I love you true
You never talk dirty behind my back and I know that there’s those that do
Please, won’t you please, won’t you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please, won’t you please, won’t you bear it in mind for me
You’re just like a good close sister to me and you know that I love you true
You hold no blade to stab me in my back and I know that there’s those that do
Please, won’t you please, won’t you bear it in mind
Love is a lesson to learn in our time
Please, won’t you please, won’t you bear it in mind for me

Blood Stained Banders
If you want to go to heaven, just over on the other shore
Keep out the way of the blood-stained banders
Oh good shepherd, feed my sheep
Some for Paul, some for Silas
Some for to make a my heart rejoice
Don’t you know lambs a crying?
Oh good shepherd feed my sheep.
If you want to go to heaven, just over on the other shore
Keep out the way of the gunshot devils
Oh good shepherd, feed my sheep
If you want to go to heaven, just over on the other shore
Keep out the way of the long tongued liars
Oh good shepherd, feed my sheep

Shallow Brown
Fare thee well, me Juliana
Shallow, o shallow brown
Fare thee well, me Juliana
Shallow, o shallow brown
And it’s shallow in the morning
Just as the day was dawning
I’ve put me clothes in order
For our packet leaves tomorrow
Yes, our packet leaves tomorrow
And it fills me heart with sorrow
For I love to gaze upon you
And to spend me money on you
O you are me only treasure
And I love ye still full measure
In me cradle lies me baby
I don’t want no other lady
O my wife and baby grieve me
It just breaks me heart to leave ye
For I’m bound away to leave ye
But I never will deceive ye
