"Ring Of Fire"

"Ring Of Fire"


Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The ring of fire

"Rivers Of Babylon"

"Rivers Of Babylon"


By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
Yeah, and there we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
Yeah, and there we wept
When we remembered Zion

So let the wicked
Carry us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now, how can we sing the Lord's song
In a strange land?

So let the wicked
Carry us away in captivity
Requiring of us a song
Now, how can we sing the Lord's song
In a strange land?

So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our hearts
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Here, tonight

So, let the words of our mouth
And the meditation of our heart
Be acceptable in Thy sight
Here, tonight

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon
There we sat down
Yeah, we wept
When we remembered Zion

"Roads Of Kildare"

"Roads Of Kildare"


Johnny was born in the mansion
Down in the county of Clare
Rosie was born by the roadside
Somewhere in County Kildare.

Destiny brought them together
On the road to Killorglan one day
In her bright tasty shawl she was singing
And she stole his young heart away.

For she sang meet me tonight by the campfire
Come with me over the hill.
Let us be married tomorrow
Please let me whisper 'I will'.

What if the neighbours are talking
Who cares if your friends stop and stare
You'll be proud to be married to Rosie
Who was reared on the roads of Kildare.

Think of the parents who reared you
Think of the family name
How can you marry a gypsy
Oh, what a terrible shame.

Parents and friends stop your pleading
Don't worry about my affair
For I've fallen in love with a gypsy
Who was reared on the roads of Kildare.

For she sang meet me tonight by the campfire
Come with me over the hill.
Let us be married tomorrow
Please let me whisper 'I will'.

What if the neighbours are talking
Who cares if your friends stop and stare
You'll be proud to be married to Rosie
Who was reared on the roads of Kildare.

Johnny went down from his mansion
Just as the sun had gone down
Turning his back on his kinfolk
Likewise his dear native town.

Facing the roads of old Ireland
With a gypsy he loved so sincere
When he came to the light of the campfire
These are the words he did hear:

For she sang meet me tonight by the campfire
Come with me over the hill.
Let us be married tomorrow
Please let me whisper 'I will."

What if the neighbours are talking
Who cares if your friends stop and stare
You'll be proud to be married to Rosie
Who was reared on the roads of Kildare.

You'll be proud to be married to Rosie
Who was reared on the roads of Kildare...

"Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"

"Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"


At the Christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see
Every couple tries to stop.

Rockin' around the Christmas tree
Let the Christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie
And we'll do some caroling.

You will get a sentimental feeling,
When you hear voices singing
"Let's be jolly
Deck the halls with boughs of holly."

Rockin' around the Christmas tree,
Have a happy holiday
Everyone feeling merrily in
The new old-fashioned way.

You will get a sentimental feeling
When you hear voices singing
"Let's be jolly,
Deck the halls with boughs of holly."

Yeah, rockin' around the Christmas tree
Have a happy holiday
Everyone feeling merrily in
The new old-fashioned way...

"Rockin' Robin"

"Rockin' Robin"


He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"

Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight

Every little swallow, ev'ry chickadee
Every little bird in the tall oak tree
The wise old owl, the big black crow
Flap their wings singing "Go bird go"

Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight

Pretty little raven at the bird bandstand
Taught him how to do the bop and it was grand
They started going steady and bless my soul
He out-bopped the buzzard and the oriole

He rocks in the tree tops all day long
Hoppin' and a boppin' and a singing his song
All the little birds on Jaybird Street
Love to hear the robin go "Tweet, tweet, tweet"

Rockin' robin
Rockin' robin
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight
Blow rockin' robin 'cos we're really gonna rock tonight

"Rosa Rio"

"Rosa Rio"


My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentine sky
There with a beautiful lady
With dark and sparkeling eyes.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental, aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die.
Aye, aye, aye, aye.

Her parents were rich Estenaciaros
And I was just the one of the hands
Who hearded ten thousand cattle
On their ten thousand acres of land.

And I was a very poor cowboy
We lived in world's far apart
How could I tell her I loved her
Or speak of the love in my heart.
(Aye, aye, aye, aye.)

The lady I loved never loved me
The lady I loved never knew
The day that she married another
A poor cowboy's heart broke in two.

I know that she'll never miss me
Or notice that I'm even gone
Cowboy who saddled her pony
Now rides through the dark night alone.
Aye, aye, aye, aye.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Under the Argentine sky
There with a beautiful lady
With her dark and sparkeling eyes.

My heart is in Rosa Rio
Your sentimental aye, aye
There with a beautiful lady
That I love the day that I die.
Aye, aye, aye, aye...

"Rose Of Tralee"

"Rose Of Tralee"


The pale moon was rising above the green mountain
The sun was declining beneath the blue sea
When I strayed with my love to the pure crystal fountain
That stands in beautiful vale of Tralee.

She was lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.

The cool shades of evening their mantle were spreading
And Mary all smiling was listening to me
The moon through the valley her pale rays was shedding
When I won the heart of the Rose of Tralee.

Though lovely and fair as the rose of the summer
Yet, 'twas not her beauty alone that won me
Oh no! 'Twas the the truth in her eye ever beaming
That made me love Mary, the Rose of Tralee.

"Roses Are Red"

"Roses Are Red"


Roses are red, my love
Doo, doo, da, doooo

A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

We dated through high school.
And when the big day came,
I wrote into your book,
Next to my name:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."

Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter dear
And I wrote back to you:

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But luck may god bless you.

"Is that your little girl?
She looks a lot like you.
Someday some boy will write
In her book, too.

"Roses are red, my love.
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet, my love.
But not as sweet as you."
