Lyrics

“Auld Lang Syne”

(1788) by Robert Burns • Wikipedia • Wikisource

Modern English Original Scots
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll get your pint cup!
and surely I’ll get mine!
And we’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Chorus
We two have run about the hills,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
Chorus
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
Chorus
And there’s a hand my trusty friend!
And give me a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
Chorus
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and auld lang syne?
Chorus:
For auld lang syne, my jo,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
and surely I’ll be mine!
And we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae run about the braes,
and pou’d the gowans fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
sin’ auld lang syne.
Chorus
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
frae morning sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roar’d
sin’ auld lang syne.
Chorus
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
and gie’s a hand o’ thine!
And we’ll tak’ a right gude-willie waught,
for auld lang syne.
Chorus

“The Good Life”

Where’s An Outlaw (2010) by Jamie Lee Thurston (who grew up in Waterbury, Vt.)
 (When You Need One)

Workin’ on a broke down tractor in a tore up field,
it’s always somethin’ with this hunk of steel.
Skinned up knuckles and a sunburned back,
lord I need a little shade and a cold six pack.
It gets frustrating on days like this,
but as much as I cuss and as bad as it gets:
I’m livin’ the good life, fightin’ the good fight,
Angel by my side, loving me all night.
Plenty of blue skies, ain’t got the whole pie,
but I’m getting my slice, and I’m doing all right.
Livin’ the good life.
Well there ain’t no neighbors in our neighborhood,
just these ten acres, of weeds and woods.
But I’ll spend five hours on my Cub Cadet,
to see my baby sunnin’ naked on our back deck.
I can’t afford to take her back to Cancun,
but it still feels like we’re on our honeymoon.
I’m livin’ the good life, fightin’ the good fight,
Angel by my side, loving me all night.
Plenty of blue skies, ain’t got the whole pie,
but I’m gettin’ my slice, and I’m doing all right.
Livin’ the gooood life.
[instrumental]
A little front porch pickin’ while the summer sun sets,
good friends, good food, good god I’m blessed.
Yes I’m livin’ the good life, fightin’ the good fight,
Angel by my side, loving me all night.
Plenty of blue skies, ain’t got the whole pie,
but I’m getting my slice, and I’m doing all right.
Livin’ the gooood life.
Yes I’m livin’ the gooood life.

“Nature Boy”

(1947) by eden ahbez for Nat King Cole • Wikipedia

This story is about love
The woman I loved is dead
There was a boy,
a very strange, enchanted boy.
They say he wandered very far,
very far, over land and sea.
A little shy and sad of eye,
but very wise was he.
And then one day,
one magic day, he passed my way.
While we spoke of many things,
fools and Kings.
This he said to me:
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn,
is just to love and be loved in return”
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn,
is just to love and be loved in return”
[Instrumental Interlude]
“The greatest thing you’ll ever learn,
is just to love and be loved in return”

“Show Me the Way to Go Home”

(1925) by Campbell & Connelly (as “Irving King”) • Wikipedia

Show me the way to go home,
I’m tired and I want to go to bed.
I had a little drink about an hour ago,
and it’s gone right to my head.
Wherever I may roam,
by land, or sea, or foam.
You can always hear me singing this song,
show me the way to go home, home.
