  LYRICS    
Walkin back to Dublin
A long time ago, a poor family
Took a trip across the sea
And left their homes back in Ireland
To find another dream
Times were hard in the old world
Times were hard in the new
But they always had each other
And their love to pull them through

And now it's in my hands to carry
This family legacy
But I think they would have been better off
With someone other than me
I'm a natural disaster
Who cannot find his way
Just an unsuccessful, full-time dreamer
Out of touch with the modern age

And I'm walkin, back to Dublin
Yeah, I'm walkin, back to Dublin
Walkin back to Dublin, I aint got no shoes

Now I love this beautiful country
From sea to shining sea
I've roamed it's mountains, climbed its deserts
And I love the people that I meet
But I can't afford to live here no more
I'm a big time tragedy
It's the end of the ride, I'm crashed on the side
Of the road to the American dream

And I'm walkin, back to Dublin
Yeah, I'm walkin, back to Dublin
Walkin back to Dublin, I aint got no shoes

Yeah, I'm walkin
I aint got no shoes, I aint got no boat either
Walkin back to Dublin, yeah...


 

 

Morning Sun
As I look into the morning sun
It speaks to me, I feel so young
A new beginning, a new day
Filtering out of our yesterdays

The sun beams in your eyes and brightens my smile
I know you feel me
You look surprised that I would hear that you're near me
As if you could deceive me, I know who you are

Into your light I wake, to find my dream come true
And the song I'm hearing now is there because of you

As I look into the morning sun
It speaks to me, I feel so young
A new beginning, a new day
Saying goodbye to yesterday

Heaven's Train
Get me to the station, the trains on time
I am ready to go
We have all been waiting just to ride this line
And we didn't even know

You don't need a ticket, this railroad's free
Hear that old whistle wail
Step right up now and claim your seat
It's time to ride that lightnin rail

Let's go, heaven's train
All aboard, no one will remain
Leave behind, your sorrow and pain
We're all going to ride on heaven's train

Everybody's riding on the first class car
No one has to sit in the back
Everybody's treated like the star that they are
You're the reason for this railroad track

Let's go, heaven's train
All aboard, no one will remain
Leave behind, your sorrow and pain
We're all going to ride on heaven's train

Stole my Mule -
Purty little girl with the blue dress on
Purty little girl with the blue dress on
Purty little girl with the blue dress on
Stole my mule and away she's gone

Eyes are black, checks are red
Big darn mouth is always spread
Purty little girl with the blue dress on
Purty little girl with the blue dress on
Purty little girl with the blue dress on
Stole my mule and away she's gone

Stole my Mule, stole my MULE!

Autumn Leaves
I just want to wrap around you like an endless vine
Twisting up and through your branches without end
My leaves are falling from the trees and I cannot begin to see
Why the autumn came and took our only green

Once there was a time when our leaves were so new
Growing beside you ever slowly
I want you so much, reaching out for your touch
Once again I wait for Spring to hold you

Time is the ancient healer of a broken heart
Mending the space between the heart and the need
Of when I'm with you, and when you're gone

When winter comes I sleep inside your memory
Though the emptiness around me is so deep
I feel the earth beneath my feet, and I am trying hard to see
If I can feel you there beside me in the night

If only you could speak, and tell me how you feel
Just to hear you say you love me
I want you so much, reaching out for your touch
Once again I wait for Spring to hold you

Rosa Mae
Rosa Mae was a gal of mine, loved her many a day
But times do change, and so do people, so did Rosa Mae
Rosa Mae loved the miner's gold, and the miner's too
She gave away her love so fast there was none left for you know who

Rosa Mae
Underneath the mountain sun
She could have been my one and only
Now I'm a lonely one

Rosa Mae had to sell her love, for much more than I could pay
Down in the mine she was on my mind, every single day
Then the sickness it came to town, most the folks moved away
But she stayed and nursed those miners till the sickness got Rosa Mae

Rosa Mae's buried on the hill, but not where proper folks go
She could have been my one and only
Now she lies under the snow

Rosa Mae
Underneath the mountain sun
She could have been my one and only
Now I'm a lonely one
She could have been my one and only
Now I'm a lonely one

The Great Hereafter
Well did you hear about Uncle Ed, yeah, he's up and dead
Now what are we to do?
It seems our family tree has lost all of its leaves
Except for me and you
And with our loved one's gone, you and I still carry on
We always find a way
Though the times have been hard, way too many times apart
We'll make up for it someday

So won't you meet me in the Great Hereafter
You wait for me, I'll wait for you
For when our time is done, and from this earth we're gone
We're gonna need a friend up in the blue
Won't you meet me in the Great Hereafter
It'll be all right, you wait and see
Cause when we get up there, we'll have so much to share
Together for eternity

And someday my good friend, you and I will reach the end
Of our time upon this earth
And with everything behind, it's there that we'll find
the value of our love's worth
Cause the only thing that's true is the love in me and you
It lasts forevermore
Like the birds flying high, someday you and I
Will be reaching that distant shore

So won't you meet me in the Great Hereafter
You wait for me, I'll wait for you
For when our time is done, and from this earth we're gone
We're gonna need a friend up in the blue
Won't you meet me in the Great Hereafter
It'll be all right, you wait and see
Cause when we get up there, we'll have so much to share
Together for eternity
Together, for eternity


 

 

"Theme" from Gypsy Bandwagon
When you're feeling lonely, when you're feeling blue
When the world is crashing on your head
When you're out of money, when the bills are due
When you think you might be better off dead

Then you hear the music and it takes you far away
To a place where silly dreams come true
Open up them donkey ears and hear them gypsies play
The bandwagon's coming after you!

When you're feeling grumpy, when you're feeling mad
When you think you want to nuke them all
When you're gravy's lumpy, when your milk's turned bad
When you've missed your chance for natures call

Then you hear the music and it takes you far away
To a place where silly dreams come true
Open up them donkey ears and pack your bags today
The bandwagon's coming after you!

When you're feeling yucky, when you're feeling mean
When no one seems to care about your plight
When your cards aren't lucky, when your socks aren't clean
When your happy day turns into night

Then you hear the music and it takes you far away
To a place where silly dreams come true
Open up them donkey ears and hear them gypsies play
The bandwagon's coming after you!
