"Don't Let The Devil Ride"
Don't let the devil ride,
Oh, don't let the devil ride,
If you let the devil ride,
He will want to drive,
Don't let him ride
Don't let him flag you down
Oh, oh, don't you let him flag you down
If he flags you down, he turns your soul around
Don't let him ride
Don't you let him be your boss
Don't you let him be your boss
If you let him be your boss,
Your soul will be lost,
Don't let him ride
Don't let him drive your car
Don't you let him drive your car
If you let him drive your car,
He's sure to go too far
Don't let him drive
Don't let him call your name
Don't you let him call your name
If you let him call your name
You get there just the same
Don't let him ride
Don't let the devil ride
Don't you let the devil ride
Don't you let the devil ride
Don't you let the devil ride
Don't you let the devil ride
Don't you let the devil ride (don't)

Jack and the Beanstalk
Fe Fi Fo Fum
I think I smell a little boy
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Look Out! Here comes the giant!
Jack climbed the beanstalk, he was only ten years old
And watched as the giant was counting up his gold
The giant soon got sleepy, he soon began to snore
Jack grabbed a bag of gold and quickly scampered out the door
And down the beanstalk Jack scurried
Close to the ground he hurried
His mum was very worried
“We’re not poor anymore!”
Fe Fi Fo Fum
I think I smell a little boy
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Look Out! Here comes the giant!
Jack climbed the beanstalk on the very next day again
He found the giant wide awake and talking to his hen
Lay me a golden egg he heard the giant say
And when the giant fell asleep Jack stole the hen away
And down the beanstalk Jack scurried
Close to the ground he hurried
His mum was very worried
“We’re not poor anymore!”
Fe Fi Fo Fum
I think I smell a little boy
Fe Fi Fo Fum
Look Out! Here comes the giant!
Jack's mother begged him to never climb up again
But Jack said just one more time and that will be the end
He crept up to the giant who was playing a magic harp
And quick as a flash and without a sound he snatched it in the dark
And down the beanstalk Jack scurried
Close to the ground he hurried
His mum was very worried
One blow with the axe down under
The giant fell with a crash like thunder
Jack said look mum, the giant's gone
“We’re not poor anymore!”

Take Me Home Down Country Roads
J. Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze 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 Look at how the moon shines, teardrop in my eye |
Intery, Mintery
Intery, Mintery, Cuttery, Corn
Apple seed, and briar thorn
Wire, briar, limber lock
Five geese to make a flock
2 flew east, 2 flew west
1 flew over the cuckoo’s nest
Sit and sing, by a spring
O-U-T and in again
Intery, Mintery, Cuttery, Corn
