Nasty Dan

Nasty Dan was the meanest man I ever knew
He's stomp and scream and be real mean the whole day through
He'd frown a bunch he ate nails for lunch and he'd never laugh
He'd growl and yell and I heard tell that he never took a bath
Nasty Dan was a nasty man hard to understand that Nasty Dan

Now Nasty Dan was a nasty man the whole day long
He'd go where he could and he'd try real good to make things go wrong
He'd jump for joy when a little boy would trip and fall
And the only words that he ever said were I don't like you at all
Nasty Dan was a nasty man hard to understand that Nasty Dan

Now a real interestin' thing that I want you to know about is this here
Because it's the most important thing it concerns a girl and things like that
Now Nasty Pearl was a nasty girl that met Dan somehow
She said you like me rotten as can be let's get married now
So they went and they did and had a nasty kid
And I must confess that Dan pretty much leaves ev'ryone alone now
And he doesn't bother anybody anymore cause he just lives in his nasty ol' house
With his nasty ol' wife and his nasty ol' kid in nasty happiness
Nasty Dan he's a nasty man hard to understand that Nasty Dan

One And One Makes Two

Jerry Moss

© Festival Attractions, ASCAP

Oh the number one is not my favorite number
Cause one means only me and there's no you
But one plus one you see makes two that's you and me
And it's more fun when one and one make two
Oh yes one and one makes two at least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes it's true one and one make two

Now let me show you what I mean
Now you say you want to play upon a seesaw
You're all alone and you don't know what to do
Well just go and find a friend and sit him on the other end
You'll have more fun when one and one make two
Oh yes one and one makes two at least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes it's true one and one make two

Now you say you want to play a game of baseball
And you look around and there's no one but you
Well just find someone you know and he will catch the ball you throw
You'll have more fun when one and one make two
Oh yes one and one makes two at least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes it's true one and one make two

Now there's the best reason of all that I like to number two right here
Now ev'ryone needs somebody to share with
To love and help and care for through and through
And there's no one that I've known who can share or love alone
It's a lot nicer when one and one make two
Oh yes one and one makes two at least I'm pretty sure they do
Oh yes it's true one and one make two
I said it's true one and one make two
One and One

Little Magic Glasses

Johnny Cash

© Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP

I wish I had a pair of little magic glasses
That I could see the future just by lookin' through
Then I could know what road tomorrow's gonna take me down
And I could see if I'll be walkin' down that road with you

I would keep my little magic glasses hidden
I would let nobody else see what I see
And ev'ryone would want to know how I can know what lies ahead
And they'll wonder when I say tomorrow I see you with me

But if I see into the future that I'm on the road alone
And where the way was sunny now there's only rain
I'll put them in a box and seal it with a lock
And I'll never take my little magic glasses out again

I will put them in a box and seal it with a lock
And I'll never take my little magic glasses out again
Mhm and I'll never take my little magic glasses out again mhm

Miss Tara

Where are you goin' Miss Tara Miss Tara
Where are you goin' Miss Tara Joan
Yesterday when you played on the swing and the trampoline
You were already thinkin' of a life of your own
And I turn around twice and you're already gone

Who will you marry Miss Tara Miss Tara
Who will you marry Miss Tara Joan
Will he have wealth and will he have fame
I'm sure too you're wonderin' just who he will be
Well that's your decision it's not up to me

I hope you'll be happy Miss Tara Miss Tara
I hope you'll be happy Miss Tara Joan
And that you will stay with me till you're a woman
And wise to the world before you're off on your own
You're my last baby girl and I'll be so alone

Dinosaur Song

Johnny Cash - June Carter

© Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP

Dinosaurs lived a long time ago they were terrible lizzards don't you know
Some ate plants and some ate meat some ate fish and some ate beets
One was called Diplodocus one was bigger than your school bus
One was called a Triceratops three horns to stop anything that hops
Now can't you just see yourself walking along leading your pet Trachadon
Or feeding your Brontosaurus Rex or scratching your Diplodocus' neck
Or riding on a Stegosaurus' back or swimming in Brachiscaurus' track
Oh what a time and oh what fun play and tag with your Ignanondon
And if we had Dinosaurus now could they get along with a horse and a cow
Well I wish they hadn't become extinct Dinosaurus would be nice pets and friends
To have around to run outside and play with ev'ry day don't you think

Tiger Whitehead

Johnny Cash - Nat Witson

© House Of Cash, BMI

Wild blackberries bloomin' in the thickets on the mountain
Sheep shire and water cress are growin' round the fountain
Where a big black bear is drinkin' lappin' water like a dog
Tiger Whitehead's in the bed sleepin' like a log
But tomorrow he'll see bear tracks seven inches wide
And by sundown he'll be bringin' in the hide

Pretty Sally Garland comin' down the mountain side
Where Tiger Whitehead's hrindin' at the mill mill at the mill
She sits down on a bearskin and she says you'll be my man
I'll have me the best bearhunter in these hills
A wild child was Tiger Whitehead and they say he killed
Ninety-nine bears before he went to rest went to rest
Once he left two bearcubs orphaned but he brought 'em right on home
And Sally nursed the two bearcubs upon her breast

Wild blackberries bloomin' in the thickets on the mountain...

Tiger now is eighty-five and he laid upon his bed
And the bears he killed now numbered ninety-nine ninety-nine
Some fellers trapped a bear but Tiger said just let 'im go
If he ain't runnin' wild he won't be mine
But at the night when the wind howls cross the hills of eastern Tennessee
And when the lightnin' flashes there's the strange thing that the people say they see
An ol' grey headed ghost runnin' through mountains there
It's Tiger Whitehead after his one hundreth bear

Wild blackberries bloomin' in the thickets on the mountain...

Call Of The Wild

Buddy Mize

© Central Songs, BMI

Bayou bayou bayou bayou
Now here's a little tale about a flock of geese
Lookin' for a home and lookin' for peace
But before they're safely in the southern sand
They gotta watch out for the critter called man
There's a goose and a gander and their goslin' childs
Headin' on south at the call of the wild
Honk and holler as we go gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high don't fly low the long toms'll getcha from the ole bayou

Well the wind from the north it chills you to the bone
And the call of the wild is callin' me come home
I'll lead my band of geese a meny trip
We'll navigate that mighty Mississipp'
Honk and holler as we go gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high don't fly low the long toms'll getcha from the ole bayou
Bayou bayou bayou bayou
[ guitar ]
Honk and holler as we go gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high don't fly low the long toms'll getcha from the ole bayou

My pappy led this band of twenty-three
And the second in command included me
He made one fatal slip and he flew too low
The long tom's got him from the old bayou
Honk and holler as we go gonna see the Gulf of Mexico
Way up high don't fly low the long toms'll getcha from the ole bayou

There's a little green fountain on a little green mountain
Don't you think we oughta stop and get a drink of water

There's a little green fountain...

Yes the water is cool and the water is blue a drink for me and a drink for you

Yes the water is cool and the water is deep take off our shoes and cool our feet

Come along with me to the pasture now we'll watch the wind blow on the cows

There's a little green fountain...

Old Shep

Red Foley

© Songs Of Universal, BMI

When I was a lad and ol' Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd play
Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun
We grew up together that way

I remember the time at the ole swimmin' hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But ole Shep was right there to the rescue he came
He jumped in and helped pull me out

Now the years they rolled by and ole Shep he grew old
His eye sight at last it grew dim
Then one day the doctor looked at him and said
I can do no more for him Jim

With a hand that was tremblin' I picked up my gun
And I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
But I just couldn't do it I wanted to run
I wished they would shoot me instead

Now ole Shep is gone where the good doggies go
And no more on this earth will he roam
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
ole Shep has a wonderful home

Timber Man

Johnny Cash

© Song Of Cash Music, ASCAP

Many many years ago when this land was young
A lot of our country was covered by big tall beautiful trees
And man had to have the trees to make wood to build houses
Make furniture with to make boats even to make paper with
So more and more people came more wood was needed
And more and more trees were cut down
And the man that lived in the forest and cut down the trees
Was called the Timber man

Well my world is green and dark and damp my home is in the loggin' camp
All week I cut down the mighty trees Saturday I get to do as I please
I give the man more than his hire and he'll never know it if I tire
Show me the toughest tree around the Timber man will bring it down
Swing it hard cut it clean no halfway or in-between
Move when the axe is in my hand make way for the Timber man

Yeah he was a mighty big tough man usually
That Timber man that lived in that forest and cut down those big trees
Well they say there's sawdust in my brain and don't get caught out in the rain
I got stump water in my blood the sweat from my brow turns the ground to mud
When the men don't know how to fell a tree the one they'll come and ask is me
I'll mark my spot and I'll take my stand the tree's gonna fall for the Timber man
Swing it hard cut it clean no halfway or in-between
Move when the axe is in my hand make way for the Timber man
And when they're cuttin' on a tree and it's just about ready to fall
The man yells out timber timber
