I’ve got peace like a river,
I’ve got peace like a river,

Lyrics
O come, O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free
Thine own from Satan’s tyranny
From depths of Hell Thy people save
And give them victory o’er the grave
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Day-Spring, come and cheer
Our spirits by Thine advent here
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death’s dark shadows put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, Thou Key of David, come,
And open wide our heavenly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.
O come, O come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height,
In ancient times did’st give the Law,
In cloud, and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel.

Arkansas Traveler | Sheet Music, Lyrics and Video

Arkansas Traveler Lyrics
Oh once upon a time in Arkansas
An old man sat in his little cabin door,
And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear,
A jolly old tune that he play’d by ear.
It was raining hard but the fiddler didn’t care
He saw’d away at the popular air,
Tho’ his roof tree leaked like a water fall
That didn’t seem to bother the man at all.
A traveler was riding by that day,
And stopped to hear him a-practicing away
The cabin was afloat and his feet were wet,
But still the old man didn’t seem to fret.
So the stranger said: “Now the way it seems to me,
You’d better mend your roof,” said he.
But the old man said, as he played away:
“I couldn’t mend it now, it’s a rainy day.”
The traveler replied: “That’s all quite true,
But this, I think, is the thing for you to do;
Get busy on a day that is fair and bright,
Then pitch the old roof till it’s good and tight.”
But the old man kept on a-playing at his reel,
And tapped the ground with his leathery heel:
“Get along,” said he, “for you give me a pain;
My cabin never leaks when it doesn’t rain.”

Scotland the Brave | Free Sheet Music and Lyrics
August 4, 2009
Scotland the Brave Lyrics
Hark when the night is falling
Hear! Hear the pipes are calling,
Loudly and proudly calling,
Down thro’ the glen.
There where the hills are sleeping,
Now feel the blood a-leaping,
High as the spirits of the old Highland men.

Wee Falorie Man | Sheet Music and Lyrics
June 29, 2009
Lyrics
I am the wee falorie man
A rattling, roving Irishman,
I can do all that ever you can
For I am the wee falorie man.
I have a sister Mary Ann
She washes her face in the frying pan,
And out she goes to hunt for a man
I have a sister Mary Ann.
I am a good old working man,
Each day I carry a wee tin can
A large penny bap and a clipe of ham
I am a good old working man.

History
The Junior Birdmen of America was an organization for boys interested in building model airplanes, founded (ca. 1934) and promoted by the Hearst newspapers, with the cooperation of the U.S. Bureau of Air Commerce. It is now best remembered for the song “Up in the Air, Junior Birdmen”, which has been sung with a variety of lyrics to mock would-be or inexperienced aviators.
Excerpt from Wikipedia
Lyrics
Up in the air junior birdman
Up in the air upside down
Up in the air junior birdman
Keep your noses off the ground
When you hear the grand announcement
that your wings are made of tin.
Then you know that Junior Birdman,
has turned his box tops in.*
For it takes: 5 box tops,
4 bottle bottoms,
3 coupons,
2 wrappers,
and one thin dime!
B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d, B-i-r-d-m-a-n
Birdman, Birdman, Birdman
Buzzzzzzzz!
Alternate Verse
When you hear the doorbell ring (buzz, buzz)
When you see the badge of tin (tin, tin)
Then you know that junior birdman.
Has turned his box tops in.

Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho,
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
You May Talk About Your Men Of Gideon,
You May Talk About Your Men Of Saul,
But There’s None Like Good Old Joshua
And The Battle Of Jericho!
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho,
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
Right Up To The Walls Of Jericho
They Marched With Spear In Hand;
“Go Blow Them Ram Horns”, Joshua Cried,
“Cause The Battle Is In My Hand”.
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho,
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
Then The Lamb, Ram,
Sheep Horns Began To Blow,
And The Trumpets Began To Sound,
Joshua Told The Children To Shout That Morning
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,
Joshua Fought The Battle Of Jericho,
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
And The Walls Came Tumbling Down!
