GO DOWN, MOSES (Lois Armstrong)

Go down, Moses,

Way down in Egypt land

Tell old pharaoh

To let my people go

Now when Israel was in Egypt land

Let my people go

Oppressed so hard they couldn’t stand

Let my people go

So the Lord said, “Go down, Moses,

Way down in Egypt land

Tell old pharaohs

To let my people go”.

So Moses went to Egypt land

Let my people go

He made old pharaoh understand

Let my people go

Yes the Lord said, “Go down, Moses,

Way down in Egypt land

Tell old pharaohs

To let my people go”.

Thus spoke the Lord, bold Moses said

Let my people go

If not I’ll smite your first-born dead

Let my people go

‘Cause the lord said, “Go down, Moses,

Way down in Egypt land

Tell old pharaoh

To let my people go”.

ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK (Sting)

I don’t drink coffee I take tea my dear

I like my toast done on one side

And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I’m an Englishman in New York

See me walking down Fifth Avenue

A walking cane here at my side

I take it everywhere I walk

I’m an Englishman in New York

Chorus: Woh, oh, I’m an alien

I’m a legal alien

I’m an Englishman in New York

If ‘manners maketh man’ as someone said

Then he’s the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

Chorus:

Modesty propriety can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society

At night the candle’s brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than a license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

If ‘manners maketh man’ as someone said

Then he’s the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I AM SAILING (Rod Stewart)

I am sailing, I am sailing

Home again across the sea

I am sailing, stormy waters

To be near you, to be free

I am flying, I am flying

Like a bird across the sky

I am flying, passing high clouds

To be where you, to be free

Can you hear me?

Through the dark night far away

I’m dying, forever trying

To be with you who can say:

We are sailing, we are sailing

Home again across the sea

We are sailing, stormy waters

To be near you, to be free

Oh, Lord, to be near you, to be free

MY PRETTY MAID

Where are you going to, my pretty maid?

‘I’m going a-milking, sir’, she said,

sir, she said, sir, she said

‘I’m going a-milking’, sir, she said

May I go with you, my pretty maid?

‘You’re kindly welcome, sir’, she said,

sir, she said, sir, she said

‘You’re kindly welcome, sir’, she said

What is your fortune, my pretty maid?

‘My face is my fortune’, sir, she said,

sir, she said, sir, she said

‘My face is my fortune, sir’, she said

Then I can’t marry you, my pretty maid.

‘Nobody asked you, sir’, she said,

sir, she said sir she said

‘Nobody asked you, sir’, she said

BILLY BOY

Where have you been all the day, Billy boy, Billy boy?

Where have you been all the day, charming Billy?

I have been to seek a wife

She’s the idol of my life
