(c.strøm)
See Mary dancing around the graveyard tonight
Hear her sweet, little voice sing; "Johnny gone from life"
Upon the tombstone, written with all but delight
"Here lies John A. Mairgonow (..) died 1945"
He walks between the raindrops, as he is summoned the way
To the place where the sky stops, never to return again
All of the others, would move on without a remorse,
but John he got something unravelled, so to Mary, he disclose:
"Mary you're chancing, with a soldier's delight
I certainly said no romancing, through all of your time"
"But darling, you're dead dear, six feet below all my crave
So here I am forever dancing upon you grave"

I hear the train a-coming
it's coming around the bend
a-puffing and a-whistlin'
with a load of railroad men
Fare you well my darling,
fare you well my dear,
Fare you well my darling
I hate to leave you here
If I go to Cubey,
I won't be back 'till fall
and if I wreck old number nine
I won't be back at all
...
When I ride old number nine
I hear the whistle blow
Fare you well my darling
I'll think of you no more
...
If I die a railroad man
bury me under the tie
so I can hear old number nine
as she go rolling by
...

(Leip / Dietrich)
Bugler tonight, don't play the court to arms
I want another evening with my charm
Then we will say goodbye and part
I'll always keep you within my heart,
with me Lili Marlene, with me Lili Marlene
Give me a rose, to show how much you care
tied to the stem, a lock of your own hair
surely tomorrow you'll feel blue
but then will come a love that's new
For you Lili Marlene, for you Lili Marlene..
When we are marching in the mud and cold
and when my pack is more than I can hold
My love for you renews my might
I'm warm again, my pack is light
It's you Lili ...

(Rendition of Eck Dunford and Hattie Stoneman)
As I wander'd by the woody rills
where the evening shadows play
to hear the song of the whipoorwill
as it sings its evening lay
Oh lis...
it's song...
it flows..
along..
now brave..
now frail..
we hear..
its lay..
How soft it thrills its evening lays
by the breezes bourne along
A sadden feeling upon me calls
when I hear its evening song
...
It brings to mind the old old home
so many miles away
and the dear old friends that I oft recall
when I hear its evening lay
....

Carter and Maud / Trad. / Roud 757
I will twine with her ringlets of raven black hair
with the roses so red and the lilies so fair
and the mytle so bright with an emerald hue
the frail amerillos, with eyes just like you
I will dance I will sing and my laugh shall be gay
I will charm every heart, in her crown I will sway
When I woke from m dreaming my idol was clay
all portion of love.. had all flown away
Yes, she taught me to love her and promised to love
and to cherish me over all other, above..
How my heart is at wand'ring no misery can tell
she left me no warning, no word of farewell
I will twine ..etc
