Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you

The old Missouri is a mighty water
Away, you rolling river
The Indians camp along her border
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, you rolling river
For her I'd cross the stormy waters
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri

Seven long years I courted Sally
Away, you rolling river
Seven more I longed to have her
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri

Now it’s farewell, dear, I'm bound to leave you
Away, you rolling river
O Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri

Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, you rolling river
Oh Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I’m bound away, across the wide Missouri

With My Man
04:37
|

Verse 1:
My man, he’s got a heart of gold
First rate to the core
And my man, he can’t be bought or sold
A friend who I fell for
He’s a dreamer, fantasizer
A romantic, no one wiser
Chorus:
When I’m with my man, I’ll be smiling
And when we’re spending time, I’m admiring
All the ways he holds me tight, seem’s I’ve found my “Mr. Right”
When I’m with my man, I’ll be smiling, tonight
With my man (x2)
Verse 2:
My man, he doesn’t hesitate
To name and claim just what he likes
And my man, he’s the perfect date
Checks to see if I’m alright
He’s a writer, he’s a poet
A heartthrob and he knows it
Chorus:
When I’m with my man, I’ll be smiling
And when we’re spending time, I’m admiring
All the ways he holds me tight, seem’s I’ve found my “Mr. Right”
When I’m with my man, I’ll be smiling, tonight
With my man (x2)
Bridge:
If you find him, let me know
I look for him everywhere I go
This man of my dreams is a far cry from the man that I know
Oohs
Verse 3:
My man, he’s fashionably great
He’ll seize me solely in his sight
My man, he throws around his weight
But he makes me feel safe by his side
He’s the preacher to my choir
He’s a lover, he’s on fire
He brings honey, to the table
The hail Mary of my fable
Chorus:
When I’m with my man, I’ll be smiling
And when we’re spending time, I’m admiring
All the ways he holds me tight, seem’s I’ve found my “Mr. Right”
When I’m with my man, I’ll be smiling, tonight
With my man (x3)

What a Relief

|
|||
|
Verse 1:
One step closer to the finish line
One step closer and I’ve paid off my time
Then I’m free
Oh I’m free
Verse 2:
Sun sets on this chapter in time
Sun sets, leave the past behind
Then they’ll see
Oh they’ll see
Chorus:
That life can be so sweet
When you don’t have ends to meet
I’ve saved more than my keep...what a relief
Verse 3:
Looking forward to passing time
Looking forward to drinking wine
There I’ll be
Oh I’ll be
Verse 4:
Sun rises in the summertime
Sun rises past the uphill climb
I’m carefree
So carefree
Chorus (x3):
And life can be so sweet
When you don’t have ends to meet
I’ve saved more than my keep...what a relief

The Blackest Crow
04:42
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part
How little you know of the grief and woe in my poor aching heart
Each night I suffer for your sake, you’re the one I love so dear
I wish that I was going with you or you were staying here
Verse 2:
I wish my breast were made of glass wherein you might behold
Upon my heart your name lies wrote in letters made of gold
In letters made of gold my love, believe me when I say
You are the darling of my heart until my dying day
Verse 3:
The blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn to white
If ever I prove false to you bright day would turn to night
Bright day would turn to night my love, the elements would mourn
If ever I prove false to you the seas would rage and burn
Verse 4:
And when you’re on some distant shore, think of your absent friend
And when the wind blows high and clear, a line to me, pray send

Verse 1:
Day one, everything changed
Tele-work, colleagues estranged
Zoom calls, technical snags
Our drive started to drag
Chorus:
Baby I can't wait to be by your side
Take the reins and drive
Go, no stopping us now
Honey, let’s dance, one foot at a time
Fingers intertwined
Oh, let’s savor this night
This is our moment, we will own it
Bring our city back to life
Verse 2:
No end, always in flight
Mask on, overnight
Food stores, the major attraction
Our poise began to lose traction
Verse 3:
Bonds changed, paired up or broke down
Friends moved, away from this town
Brides on hold, birthdays adjusted
Social gears, loneliness made them rusted
Chorus:
Baby I can't wait to be by your side
Take the reins and drive
Go, no stopping us now
Honey, let’s dance, one foot at a time
Fingers intertwined
Oh, let’s savor this night
This is our moment, we will own it
Bring our city back to life
Bridge:
Oooo..oooo…I can hear it coming alive
Oooo…oooo…see it lighting up the sky
Oooo…oooo…smiles returning to the faces
Oooo…oooo…savoring the embraces
Oooo…oooo…oooo…oooo [x2]
Verse 4:
Fingers crossed we weren’t infected
Best practice was to get tested
Strides made at record speed
Shots gave a sense of relief
Chorus:
Baby I can't wait to be by your side
Take the reins and drive
Go, no stopping us now
Honey, let’s dance, one foot at a time
Fingers intertwined
Oh, let’s savor this night
This is our moment, we will own it
Bring our city back to life
This is our moment, we will own it
Bring our city back to life
