Come all ye boys from Indianola
Come on and go with me
You're bound to leave that pretty little lass
For the glory it shall be
To be found under the sea
We'll soon be bound for New York town
And for Greenland we'll set sail
For two long years we'll poke around
And hunt for the Greenland whale
My boys we shall not fail
For two long years we'll cast and haul
The harvest of the sea
Fortunes made we'll soon be home
In Texas our country
For two long years my pretty little lass
I've longed to lie with thee
Within your arms I'd kiss your cheek
Beneath the Scrub Oak Tree
Now that would be glory
For two long years it's been around
Your pretty little lass was underground
She died with the plague like half the town
Her dying wish was that you had drowned

Cool the bath to twenty-five degrees
Boys the man is dead enough for me
Legs and arms are sellin' by the pound
Grind him up and take him into town
Lungs and livers, tongues and feet
Never waste the meat
When times are tough we must get by we must do what we must
These ends shall be our means
Friends I bid you caution should you pass through Drifter's Creek
Expect no welcome from that town unless you be the feast

Oklahoma Joe lost it all on a roll
Lost his wife in El Paso
His luck ran out again
Mary headed west she may have guessed
He'd make a mess
He won't get another chance to waste her time again
Don't the heroes win after suffering
The sun will set again on your happy end
In another life
Prayed most every night
She'd done it right, she had the right
Cold and lonely winter nights
won't drag her back again
Don't the heroes win after suffering
The sun will set again on your happy end
In another life
Way out on the road
she'll know she has nowhere to go
Joe will come and take her home to forget it all again
Don't the heroes win after suffering
The sun will set again on your happy end
In another life

Everything’s coming up roses in here (dead ones, dead ones)
The light in the dark will protect us from fears (dark ones, dark ones)
Boys the girls are liars and cheats (Girls the boys are liars and cheats)
Everything’s coming up roses in here
Everything’s turning from black to white (come on, move on)
The world that I know ain’t lookin’ right (keep on, move on)
Boys the girls are liars and cheats (Girls the boys are liars and cheats)
Everything’s turning from black to white
Everything’s fine, everything’s great
Don’t be alarmed, you know it’s never too late
Everything’s bright and everything’s clear
It’s all sanitized In here you’ll never fear
Fear is only up there
What are these thoughts that creep into my mind(shadows, sunshine)
We’ve been warned once before to keep them in line(leave it behind)
Boys the girls are liars and cheats(Girls the boys are liars and cheats)
What are these thoughts that I can’t deny
Not everything’s fine, nor everything great
No longer lie and swear it’s never too late
Everything’s bright and everything’s clean
Just realize in here you’ll never be free
Never free, Freedom’s over the line
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t come back for me
Everything’s fine and everything’s great
Don’t be alarmed, you know, it’s never too late
Everything’s bright and everything’s clean
Stay in line and you will never be free

If you think Work is hard enough
Why don’t you try living someday
Hunkr down ride a storm away
Some folks say That I have enough
Brother will you spare me one more dime
Pass around your bottle one more time
It don’t pay And I hate to ask
Brother will you spare your last dime
Hunkr down rider one more time
The river’s up And the sea’s are rough
Pass around your bottle one more time
Please pass around your bottle one last time
Lock the windows And bolt the doors
Hunkr down rider till she’s yours
Hunkr down ride a filthy whore
Some folks say That I have enough
Brother will you spare me some more time
All I need is a little more time
Pass around your bottle one more time

For The King

Men! March again
the sun will rise and we begin to fight
for lord and land and freedom for our kin
Brave! Man and slave
The gold you earn, The women you claim
So fight! and when the foe is beat A victor’s feast
Turn from the light now don’t throw your weapons down
Show your respect for the king
No hope for life shall take you from this ground
tell me again (for the king)
We lie! Four of five of every man will surely die
For I, Will bravely lead the pack from far behind
So fight! Kill and die
Mangle limbs and splatter eyes
Fight! Stand and die and pray for heaven’s light
Go to sleep now clod but proud
Knowing no name’s forsaken
