"SLURF SONG"
MICHAEL HURLEY
Oh, a little wishbone; I'll make a wish for a potato
Oh, a little wishbone; I'll make a wish for a potato
I'll make a wish!
For a potato!
Pickin' out the fishbones in my perch from Lake Champlain
Pickin' out the fishbones in my perch from Lake Champlain
Woah, those perch!
Woah, those bones!
Cookin' up tortillas; so much fun when you gotta bowl of beans
Cookin' up tortillas; so much fun when you gotta bowl of beans
So much fun!
Boil those beans!
When we make spaghetti everybody gathers 'round and we eat it by the pound
When we make spaghetti everybody gathers 'round and we eat it by the pound
They all gather 'round!
They eat it by the pound!
We fill up our guts, then we turn it into shit, then we get rid of it
We fill up our guts, then we turn it into shit, then we get rid of it
Turn it into shit!
We get rid of it!
Oh, I see the dishes over there; they fill me with despair
Oh, I see the dishes over there; they fill me with despair
Dishes over there!
They fill me with despair!

"IN THE GARDEN"
MICHAEL HURLEY
Birds sing songs that
wake the dreamers
wake the dreamers
from their sorrowful soirée
crying bye bye sweet fried chicken
and the platter
glides away
In the moonlight, in the moonlight
we don't hear but
water running
down the stream of
all the people
there is no one
ever coming
I lay on my side
I lay on my side
you was laying right beside me
and the stars
they was coming
and blinking
tenderly
Little lightning bugs,
and the platter
glides away
In the moonlight, in the moonlight
we don't hear but
water running
down the stream of
all the people
there is no one
ever coming
I lay on my side
I lay on my side
you was laying right beside me
and the stars
they was coming
and blinking
tenderly
Little lightning bugs,
time and time again
dot and dashing all around us
and a shooting
star come flashing
never making
not a bit of fuss
Sometime we woke and saw
that the moon was gone
from the left side to the right side
and the columns of mist was rising
looked like friends of mine
who have died
In the moonlight, in the moonlight
We don't hear but
Water running
down the stream of
all the people
there is no one
ever coming
dot and dashing all around us
and a shooting
star come flashing
never making
not a bit of fuss
Sometime we woke and saw
that the moon was gone
from the left side to the right side
and the columns of mist was rising
looked like friends of mine
who have died
In the moonlight, in the moonlight
We don't hear but
Water running
down the stream of
all the people
there is no one
ever coming

"SWEEDEEDEE"
MICHAEL HURLEY
My little woman causes me a whole lot of trouble sometimes
She worries me so bad
I don't know what to do
I take a walk
Figure the rolling of my feet would come to ease my mind
I'll just go away
And I won't know
Where I'm going
And I won't know where
That I am going to
Cause she bugger me
She bugger me
Oh man, she'd bugger you
I'm with you in the morning, baby
'till the break of day
I know you won't take my heart
Tryin' to make me go away
Seems like everybody
Has got a little hard luck, sometime
And I know one thing for sure, baby
I've been having mine
We had one of them old fleabag apartments
You know the kind I mean
You walk up on the fifth floor there
Sometimes on a sunny day from the roof
You can see them flying kites in Washington Square
I go up on the roof and I watch her hanging up the clothes and I'd say to her:
"Wash the clothes, Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
I can see by the way you wash the clothes
Your cooking must be fine"
I'm with you in the morning, baby
'till the break of day
Well, I know you don't want my heart
Tryin' to make me go away
Seems like everybody
Got a little hard luck sometime
And I know one thing for sure
I've been having mine
I remember that old scumbag coffee shop we used to hang out at
The manager there he'd let us stay without paying a cover
And I was always asking her sometime
We gotta leave the city
And I'd say to her:
"You wash them clothes, Sweedeedee
And hang 'em on the line
And I can see by the way
You wash the clothes
Your cooking must be fine"
"LIGHT GREEN FELLOW"
MICHAEL HURLEY
I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door
I'm going to your house, gonna knock on the door
Then you'll see your light green fellow once more
I'm a light green
I'm a light green fellow
Light green, I'm a light green fellow
There ain't nobody know
Your light green fellow
Looking all around, looking for the telephone
Looking all around, looking for the telephone
Thinking of calling you 'cause I know you're alone
Your sheets are green and your light is yellow
Your sheets are green and your light is yellow
Nobody knows your light green fellow
I'm a light green
I'm a light green fellow
Light green, I'm a light green fellow
Ain't nobody know
Your light green fellow
Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Why don't you light a candle?
Your curtains are drawn, but I'd see through
Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Looking in the window, but it's so dark I don't see you
Why don't you light a candle?
Curtains are drawn, but I'd see through
"THE WEREWOLF"
MICHAEL HURLEY
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes a-stepping along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone
Comes a-stepping along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone
You can hear his long holler from away across the moor
That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feeling poor
That's the holler of a werewolf when he's feeling poor
He goes out in the evening when
The bats are on the wing
And he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing
The bats are on the wing
And he's killed some young maiden before the birds sing
For the werewolf, for the werewolf
Have sympathy
Because the werewolf he is someone
Just like you and me
Have sympathy
Because the werewolf he is someone
Just like you and me
Once I saw him in the moonlight
When the bats were a-flying
All alone I saw the werewolf and
The werewolf was crying
When the bats were a-flying
All alone I saw the werewolf and
The werewolf was crying
Crying, "Nobody, nobody, nobody knows
How much I love the maiden as I tear off her clothes"
Crying, "Nobody, nobody knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again"
How much I love the maiden as I tear off her clothes"
Crying, "Nobody, nobody knows of my pain
When I see it has risen that full moon again"
When I see that moon moving
Through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feeling and I wonder why
Through the clouds in the sky
I get a crazy feeling and I wonder why
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes traveling along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone
Comes traveling along
He don't even break the branches
Where he's been gone
For the werewolf have pity, not fear, and not hate
Because the werewolf might be someone
That you've known of late
Because the werewolf might be someone
That you've known of late
Oh the werewolf, oh the werewolf
Comes traveling along
He don't even crush the leaves
Where he's been gone
Comes traveling along
He don't even crush the leaves
Where he's been gone

"BE KIND TO ME"
MICHAEL HURLEY
[Verse 1]
Told you once and I told you twice:
Why be mean when you can be nice?
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 2]
I hardly feel like a mustard seed
‘cause your love is what I need
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 3]
I’m the ace of hearts and she’s my queen
The best old girl you ever seen
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 4]
I told you, child, when you were sixteen
I wanted you, girl, to be my queen
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 5]
A bullfrog sitting on a lily pond
And I was holding her in my arms
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Verse 6]
I call you on the telephone
Tell me why you’re never home
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misery?
[Outro]
Come on, be kind to me!
Can’t you see I’m in misereeeeeeeee?
"ARE YOU HERE FOR THE FESTIVAL"
MICHAEL HURLEY
{Verse}
Did you ever leave Nelsonville
With a broken Heart?
Did you ever leave Woodstock
Falling apart?
You was doing alright
Things went wrong
You was up all night
Singing along
{Chorus}
I know you went to the fiddle fest
And you would not take a rest
Fa-le-lou la-lee
Listen to her playing that thing
No good if there ain't no mud
Come along off the bus
You can get you a belly full
Are you here for the festival?
{Chorus}
I know you went to the fiddle fest
And you would not take a rest
Fa-le-lou la-lee
Listen to her playing that thing
No good if there ain't no mud
Come along off the bus
You can get you a belly full
Are you here for the festival?
{Chorus}
I know you went to the fiddle fest
And you would not take a rest
Fa-le-lou la-lee
Listen to her playing that thing
No good if there ain't no mud
Come along off the bus
You can get you a belly full
Are you here for the festival?
{Outro}
Are you here for the festival?
"IT ALL COMES DOWN TO LOVE"
TIM O'BRIEN & DARRELL SCOTT
Well the thing about a dead end road
For a while it’s easy to follow
Running scared with eyes closed
I guess I should have known
Oh the thing about a love gone wrong
Inside goes where outside once was
Here I sit with a bucket of songs
That no one else will sing
Oh hear me blowlike the wind on the prairie
Here for a while and then I’m gone
Talking to myself I’m the only one to listen to me
Waiting like a christian for the dawn
I walk out in the freezing cold
Wake me up, help to remember
Me, I’m always looking for home
And a reason to remain
I see it in the fleeting flow
Silent eyes, moon on the water
How the heavens brightly show me
To the here and now
Oh, in the end there’s a feast of milk and cookies
Lion and the lamb will be there
Nymphs and virgins all stand in line to greet me
Buddha waits to comb my silken hair
The thing about a troubled life
Trouble is a cat on the freeway
Where the rubber meets the road
She’ll find another way
Oh, the thing about a broken heart
Thee remedy’s the same as the breaking
Telling us all what we already know
And it all comes down to love
It all comes down to love
It all comes down to love
"TIME TO TALK TO JOSEPH"
TIM O'BRIEN & DARRELL SCOTT
I lay awake til morning, mind racing through the gloom
Till I practice shadow puppets on my side of the room
And you softly snore beside me as I make those figures dance
Until finally I'm laughing at the random path of chance
Till I practice shadow puppets on my side of the room
And you softly snore beside me as I make those figures dance
Until finally I'm laughing at the random path of chance
It's time to talk to Joseph, I'm gonna pack my little sack
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
I think I'll head on up the north bank, turn left up Campbell's creek
There's an old grey man that lives up there and his counsel now I seek
Those twisting nooks and crannies, those hollers dark and deep
They are calling to me in my dreams, whenever I can sleep
There's an old grey man that lives up there and his counsel now I seek
Those twisting nooks and crannies, those hollers dark and deep
They are calling to me in my dreams, whenever I can sleep
It's time to talk to Joseph, I'm gonna pack my little sack
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
There's too many threads to follow and it seems the only way
Is to dive into the darkness that leads me into day
Don't you worry about me darling, I'm comin back again
My spirit will be stronger from a power deep within
Is to dive into the darkness that leads me into day
Don't you worry about me darling, I'm comin back again
My spirit will be stronger from a power deep within
It's just time to talk to Joseph, I'm gonna pack my little sack
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
And must be time to talk to Joseph, I'm gonna pack my little sack
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind
And must be time to talk to Joseph, I'm gonna pack my little sack
There isn't much I really need to wander of the track
I'll be sleeping under ledges and eating what I find
I'll read the reaching branches strum your heartstrings in my mind

"WALK BESIDE ME"
TIM O'BRIEN & DARRELL SCOTT
Put one foot in front of the other
Steppin into the here and now
I'm not sure just where I'm goin
But I will get there anyhow
I got this far with no direction
Followed my nose to where I stand
My heart's still strong, I know I'll make it
Sit right down in the promised land
Sister come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
When you left me in the spring time
So many questions in my mind
Summer came and left me waitin
Not one answer could I find
I see you in the Rocky Mountains
I feel you on the great North Sea
It's a lonesome road I have to travel
But you will always be with me
Steppin into the here and now
I'm not sure just where I'm goin
But I will get there anyhow
I got this far with no direction
Followed my nose to where I stand
My heart's still strong, I know I'll make it
Sit right down in the promised land
Sister come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
When you left me in the spring time
So many questions in my mind
Summer came and left me waitin
Not one answer could I find
I see you in the Rocky Mountains
I feel you on the great North Sea
It's a lonesome road I have to travel
But you will always be with me
Brother come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
I hear laughter in the thunder
I feel comfort on the wind
I see hope in hopeless faces
Someday they will love again
People come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide
I hear laughter in the thunder
I feel comfort on the wind
I see hope in hopeless faces
Someday they will love again
People come and walk beside me, until our pathways do divide
Nothin much but love to give you, even less have I to hide

"FOOL FOR YOU"
THE IMPRESSIONS
Never liked nobody
That's been mean to me
I've got a heart full of stone
And I hate the misery
Then you came along
Into my life
Destroying my mind
Mounting up the toil and strife
But I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Guess I'll always be
And I claim it famously
'Cause I'm a fool for you
It's a doggone shame
Knowin' you don't love me
You go on and use me
So continuously
I don't know why
I love you like I do
When you're breaking my heart
And you know it's true
But I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Doggin' me every day
But child, I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a fool for you
That's been mean to me
I've got a heart full of stone
And I hate the misery
Then you came along
Into my life
Destroying my mind
Mounting up the toil and strife
But I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Guess I'll always be
And I claim it famously
'Cause I'm a fool for you
It's a doggone shame
Knowin' you don't love me
You go on and use me
So continuously
I don't know why
I love you like I do
When you're breaking my heart
And you know it's true
But I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
I'm a fool for you
Doggin' me every day
But child, I'm here to stay
'Cause I'm a fool for you
You don't want me to stay
But I'm a fool for you
Do me wrong now every day
Child, I'm a fool for you
Ah ha ha hoo
I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha hoo
Child, I'm a fool for you
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha ha hoo
But I'm a fool for you
Do me wrong now every day
Child, I'm a fool for you
Ah ha ha hoo
I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha hoo
Child, I'm a fool for you
Hoo hoo hoo hoo
I'm a fool for you, ah ha ha ha hoo
