JIMMY

Jimmy won't you please come home
Where the grass is green and the buffaloes roam
Come see Jimmy, your uncle Jim and your auntie Jim and your cousin Jim
Come home Jimmy 'cause you need a bath
And your grandpa Jimmy is still gone daft

Now there's buffalo Jim and buffalo Jim
And Jim buffalo now didn't you know
Jim Jim Jimmy its your last cigarette
But there's buffalo piss, it's all kind of wet
Jambo Jimmy you'd better hold your nose
All roads lead to roam with the buffaloes

And the Buffaloes used to say be proud of your name
The Buffaloes used to say be what you are
The Buffaloes used to say roam where you roam
The Buffaloes used to say do what you do

Well you've gotta have a wash but you can't clean your name
You're not called Jimmy you'll be Jimmy just the same

The keys are in the bag in the chest by the door
One of Jimmy's friends has taken the floor
Jimmy won't you please come home
Where the grass is green and the buffaloes roam
Dear old Jimmy you've forgotten you're young
But you can't ignore the buffalo song

And the Buffaloes used to say be proud of your name
The Buffaloes used to say be what you are
The Buffaloes used to say roam where you roam
The Buffaloes used to say do what you do
If you remember you're unknown
Buffaloland will be your home

COUNTRY ROADS

Almost heaven, West Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads All my memories gather 'round her Miner's lady, stranger to blue water Dark and dusty, painted on the sky Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads   I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me The radio reminds me of my home far away And driving down the road, I get a feeling That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday REFRAIN Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads Country roads, take me home To the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama Take me home, country roads

JOE McDONNELL

 Oh, me name is Joe McDonnell, from Belfast town I came A city I will never see again For in the town of Belfast, I spent many happy days I love that town in oh, so many ways For it's there I spent my childhood, and found for me a wife I then set out to make for her a life But all my young ambitions met with bitterness and hate I soon found myself inside a prison gate And you dare to call me a terrorist, while you look down your gun When I think of all the deeds that you had done You had plundered many nations, divided many lands You had terrorised their peoples, you ruled with an iron hand And you brought this reign of terror to my land Then one cold October's morning, trapped in a lions' den I found myself imprisoned once again I was committed to the H-Blocks for fourteen years or more On the blanket, the conditions, they were poor Then a hunger strike we did commence, for the dignity of man But it seemed to me that no-one gave a damn But now I am a saddened man, I've...
