Funeral directors of america, I am very deeply honored standing here;
Receiving this token of your esteem, "the funeral director of the

Now I've been asked by all the delegates--and members of the board,
To tell you of the funeral that won me this award.
It was handled

Ain't no more cane on this brazos by the border.
Oh, oh, oh.
Well, we done ground it all to molasses.
Oh, oh, oh.

When I came down here had a number for my name.
Oh, oh, oh.
Well they chained us together and we started cuttin' cane.
Oh, oh, oh.

The Mitchell Trio had its beginning when we were still in College
And we found that in traveling throughout the Country, and singing for
Groups just such as this one, that too often we forget, as many young
College men and women seem to be doing nowadays, all of the rich and

The question is, are the Africans and Africa prepared for independence?
Do they have enough delinquents among their juvenile descendants?
Can they fill their air with smog enough, their rivers with pollutions?
Are the citizens evolved enough for mental institutions?

Are they sm

We're the bright young men, who want to go back to Nineteen-Ten, we're Barry's boys
We're the kids with a cause, yes a government like grandmama's, we're Barry's boys
We're the new kind of youth at your alma mater
Back to silver standards and solid Goldwater
Back to when the poor

When the sun comes up in the mornin',
In the mornin', up in the mornin'.
When the sun comes up in the mornin'
Blues around my head.

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Got the blues and I'm feelin' so lonely,
Oh so lonely, feelin's so lonely.
Got the blues and I'm feelin' so lonely,

It's a long and a dusty road.
It's a hard and a heavy load
And the folks we meet ain't always kind.

Some are bad and some are good.
Some have done the best they could.
Some have tried to ease our troubling mind.

And i can't help but wonder where i'm bound, where i'm b

Walked through an orchard green
Where were apples and cherries
As thick as might be seen

Dark shadows and empty hallways
That reach out to enfold the lonely
To hide falling tears when a lover has gone

Listening for her step on the stair
Looking up and hopin' she's there
Living ev'ry day with despair
Since she's gone

On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him, there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky.

How the winds are laughing.
They laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through.
And half the summer's night.

Dubarry was a man who was in and out of jail from
Texas to tennessee and from oklahoma to alabama.
When you asked a warden "how's dubarry?", all he'd
Say was: "dubarry? Dubarry done gone again."

Dubarry done gone again.
Dubarry done gone again.
Dubarry done gone again.<

I'll walk in the rain by your side
I'll cling to the warmth of your hand
I'll do anything to keep you satisfied
I'll love you more than anybody can

And the wind will whisper your name to me
Little birds will sing along in time
The leaves will bow down when you walk by

Green grow the lilacs all sparkling with dew
Green grow the lilacs when winter is thru
Each time I see lilacs my heart breaks in two
Cause springtime is here and its here without you

As sure as the bluebirds that fly up above
Springtime is sad without someone to love

Coffee grows on white oak trees.
The river flows with brandy oh.
Go choose someone to roam with you
Sweet as 'lasses candy.

There's two in the middle and I can't catch josie.
Two in the middle and I can't get around.
There's two in the middle and I can't catch josie.

If I gave you fields of clover
Beds of flowers, pink and blue.
Crowns of laurel, walls of ivy,
Would you let me walk with you?

I gave you prides of lions
Teams of horses, two by two
And a school of flying fishes
Would you let me dance with you?

A young man rode with his head held high
Under the Texas Sun
And no one guessed that a man so blessed
Would perish by the gun

A shot rang out like a sudden shout
And Heaven held its breath
And the dreams of a multitude of men
Went with him to his death

Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again

And when the papers all we

Like to deal with the ladies
Like to give 'em a real hard time
Like to make 'em sigh
Like to make 'em cry
Over me

Like to swing with the good times
Like to have me a real live ball
Doin' what I can
Like a dirty old man
Tee-hee

Like to have 'em just a-h

One very exciting area of folk idiom and folk music to us has always
Been the hatchet murders in Massachusetts
And I think that this quaint bit of suburban living can best be
Explained through the use of our poet laureate, Joe Frazier
