Across the Waves

Oh come, get your duds in order
We’re going to go across the water
Heave, Me Jollies, Heave Away.

Oh Come, Get your duds in Order
We’re Going to Go and Leave Tomorrow
Heave, Me Jollies, Heave Away
For We’re Bound to Sail Across the Waves
Oh Sometimes We’re Bound for Liverpool
Sometimes We’re Bound for Spain
But Now We’re Bound for St. John’s Town
To Watch the Girls Go a Dancing

So it’s Farewell Maggie Darling
For Now I must Leave You
You Promised Me you’d Marry Me
But How You did Deceive Me

I Wrote Me A Love Letter
I bound it with a Ring
I Wrote Me A Love Letter
Was on the Jenny Lind

Oh come, get your duds in order
We’re going to go across the water
Heave, Me Jollies, Heave Away.

Oh Come, Get your duds in Order
We’re Going to Go and Leave Tomorrow
Heave, Me Jollies, Heave Away
For We’re Bound to Sail Across the Waves
Oh Sometimes We’re Bound for Liverpool
Sometimes We’re Bound for Spain
But Now We’re Bound for St. John’s Town
To Watch the Girls Go a Dancing


Baby Blue

I’m Sorry My Sweet Marie
Can’t you See I just Couldn’t Breathe
That’s Why I had to Leave
I had to remember the Ocean Breeze
Restlessness is my Disease

So Don’t Cry, Baby Blue
I’ll Return again to you
I swear to you Darling it’s true

Please Don’t Cry, Don’t Cry, Sweet Baby Blue
They say exploration was my name
They said the ocean’s the one that played my game

But darlin’, to me your eyes are the same

So don’t cry, Baby Blue
I’ll Return again to you
I swear to you darling it’s true
You can sail away with me if you want to
You can sail on my ship me and you
So don’t cry, don’t cry, sweet baby blue

Darlin’, sweet Marie, Please lift your
head up and look at me
Oh darlin, Please, Please don’t forget me.

So don’t cry, Baby Blue
You can sail away with me if you want to
You can sail on my ship me and you
So don’t cry, don’t cry, sweet baby blue

Whiskey - Oh

Ten Years Ago Today
My Love Was Washed Away
Ten Years Ago Today, Over the Waves,
Far Away Beneath the Sea

So Whiskey-Oh, Johnney Oh,
Rise Her Up From Down Below
Whiskey, Oh Whiskey, Oh Whiskey, Oh.
Whiskey Oh, Johnny Oh, Up Aloft this Yard Must Go
Whiskey-Oh, Johnny Oh, I lost My love to the Sea

Now Whiskey Is the Life of Man
Always since the World Began
Whiskey Gave me a Broken Nose
Whiskey Made Me Pawn Me Clothes
Whiskey is the Life of man
Whiskey from the Old Tin Can

I thought I heard the First Mate Say
I treats the Crew in a Decent Way
Grlass of Whiskey All Around
And a Bottle Full for the Shanty Man

Up She Blew,a dn Up She Blew
Up She Blew and Up She Blew
Up She Blew and Up she Blew
Up she Blew On Over, Oh

Repeat all lyrics twice more.

If Whiskey was a river and I could swim
I’d say here goes and dive right down
If whiskey was a river and I was a duck
I’d dive to the bottom and never come up
A glass of Whiskey all around and
A Bottle Full for the Chanty Man

Heroin

I Dont’ Know Just Where I’m Going
But I’m Gonna Try
For the Kingdom if I can
Cause it makes me Feel Like I’m a Man
When I put a Spike into My Vein
And I tell you Things aren’t quite the same
When I’m Rushin’ on my Run
And I feel Just Like Jesus Son

Oh and I guess, I just Don’t know
Oh and I guess, I just Don’t know.

I, have made, big decision
I’m gonna try, to nullify my life
Because when the blood begins to flow
When It shoots up the dropper’s neck
When I’m closing in on Death

You can’t Help me Not you Guys
All you sweet girls with your Sweet Talk
You can All go take a walk
Oh and I guess I just don’t know
Oh and I guess, I just don’t know

I wish that I was born 1000 years ago
And I wish that I sailed the Darkened Seas
On a Great Big Clipper Ship
Goin from this land into that
Wearin’ a Sailor’s suit and cap.

Heroin (continued)

Away from the big City Where a Man
Cannot be Free Of all the evils of this town
and of Himself, and those around Oh and I
guess I just don’t know, Oh and I guess,
I just don’t know

Heroin
Be the Death of Me
Heroin

It’s My Wife and it’s My Life
Because a Mainer to my Vein
Leads to a Center in my head
and then I’m Better off than dead

Because when the Smack Begins to flow
Oh, I really don’t care anymore
About all the Jim Jims in this Town
And all the Politicians making crazy sounds
And everybody putting everybody else down
And all the Dead bodies piled up in mounds

Cause when the smack begins to flow
You really don’t care anymore
When the Heroin is in your blood
and the blood is in your head,
Then thank God that you’re good as dead
And thank God that you’re not aware
And thank God that you just don’t care
And I guess, I just don’t know

Oh, and I guess, I just don’t know

Polaris

Perhaps We’re Dreaming After All
Or Maybe We’ve Been Out at Sea too Long
For the Captain and Crew I sing this song
Till we Find a Way Back Home

It’s been 800 years between the stars
20 years on the ocean sea
My Family’s only memory
Lost in the Dark of Forgotten Dreams

So Captain If You’re Lost at Sea
Close Your Eyes and Listen to Me
For Every Single Star I see
Each is an Ocean of Lost Memory
and Every one Gives Direction to me
And Leads me to land
From the Cold Dark Wind of the Sea

For Over Sea or Stone
No Matter Where You Roam
You Never Are Alone
If you Follow the starlight home
If you Follow the starlight home

As the Hidden Currents come Driving Down
The Hurricane Winds come Colliding Around
Lost on the Windy Waves We’re Bound
Afeared We’ll never again be found

So Captain Take Down the Sails
Or be Torn Apart by the Gails
And wait for the night to reveal hidden trails
Let the Soft Wind Fill Your Sails
Breathe a Sigh, Look to the Sky
And wait for the Stars to shine.

Polaris (contuned)

There the stars in the Sky! There are the stars!

There’s Proxima Centauri Barnard’s Star Wolf 359, Valande 21185 Serius A
Serius B Procyon Altair Vega Fomalhut Pollux Acturus Betelgeuse Rigel Orion’s Nebula
Mentaka

With these stars, find Your way home

Repeat many times.

For Every Single Star I see, Every Smile You Send to Me, Each is an Ocean of Lost Memory
And Every One Gives Direction to Me, and Leads me to Land from the Cold Dark Winds
Of the Sea


During the song “Awakened Dream”, the ship sails home, and the Pirates
And the Musicians of Bremen Return to Land, and the next three songs are after everyone gets home.
This next song is the characters telling their stories, remembering their time away.

Every Leaf that Falls

Do you Remember 1000 Years, Yeas I do Like the Dawn of the Day. Oh, if you could rememeber
Every Leaf that Falls From the Trees, then Your Mind would Blossom and Flow
Like a River Into the Sea. Oh My Mind remembers, like the wind that blows through the trees.
Memory is like a mountain spring that flows from the river to the sea.
Oh every song, that’s ever been sung is sung through the wind that sails, is sung through the wind
that sails, is sung through the wind that flows, through the trees. Oh every falling autuml leaf,
Sings of forgotten memories. So whenever I see a fallen Seed, I see your smile Return to me.
Memory is like the spring, flowing, flowering, blooming, and then drifitng away.
But all things are remembered, nothing is forgotten, but only if you remember the sea

*** In the next song, the Musicians of Bremen return to fairyland, with their friend, Rennardyne,
an irish fox fairy.

The Ballad of Renardynne

One Evening as I rambled, Two miles below Fermye, I met a fair young maiden
All on the mountainside. Her hair was black, her eyes were gold, her lips were ruby wine.
I smiled to see upon her now, all on that mountainside. I said, my fair young maiden, your beauty
shines so clear, indeed I’m glad I met you love, all on this mountain here.
I said, kind sir be civil now, and my company forsake, for to my great opinion love, I fear you are
some rake. And I my parents they should know, then my life they would destroy for the keeping
of your company, all on this lonely pine.
Oh no, I said, no rake am I, brought up in Venus’s train. I’m looking for concealment love, all on
This lonely plain. For the Judjes men do follow me, and My life they wound destory, for the keeping
of your company, all on this lonely pine.
So I kissed him once, and I kissed him twice, till I came to again, and boldy did I ask of him,
Pray tell me what is your name?
Oh, if you should look for me, perhaps you’ll not me find, but I’ll be in my green castle love,
Enquire for Renardynne.
Through Sun and Moon she Followed him, his teeth so brightly shine, and he’s led her through the
Fairyland, all through that mountainside.
So come all ye fair maids, now, do warn and take our Lead. Beware of Men’s Common Ways, and
Shun Bad Company. But if one Fair dark forest night, it’s the fairyland you seek, don’t say,
We didn’t tell you, love, about that mountainside.

***Now the Musicians of Bremen are Home.

Home on the Range

Oh, Give me a home, where the Buffalo Roam, where the Deer and the Antelope Play. Where
Seldom is heard, a discourageing word, and the sky is not couldy all day.
Home, Home on the range, where the antlers lie in the sun. Where the tunderbolts ring, and the
coyotes sing, and the moon answers back with a sigh. I once had a dream, standing next to a stream,
Of a place, where wild horses roam. Where the tunderbirds fly, across the blue sky, and the Sun
Beats down mighty and strdong. Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.
Where seldom is heard, a discourageing word, and the sky is not cloudy all day. Oh if you asked me,
Where I’d like to be, I’d tell you don’t get me wrong, but I’ll never change, my home on the range,
here I stand and here I will fall. Home, home on the range, where the antlers lie in the sun.
Where the thunderbolts ring, and the coyotes sing, and the moon answers back with a sigh.

Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard, a discourageing word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.
