LYRICS:
The Little Red Hen found a grain of wheat, Said "This looks good enough to eat, But I'll plant it instead, make me some bread," Said to the other guys down the street, "Who will help me plant this wheat?"
Chorus: "Not I!" said the dog and the cat. "Not I!" said the mouse and the rat. "I will then," said the Little Red Hen, And she did.
Well the sun shone bright, the rain it blew, The grain of wheat it grew and grew, It began to sprout, headed out, Till it was ripe enough. Said, "Who will help me harvest this stuff?"
(Chorus)
She lugged it to the miller to grind to flour, Cause the others would furnish her no manpower, And at baking time they all declined To help her with the job; They were a dog gone no-good mob.
(Chorus)
The bread looked good and smelled so fine The gang came running and fell in line; "We'll do our part with all our heart To help you eat this chow!" She said, "I do not need you now."
"I planted and hoed this grain of wheat, Them that works not, shall not eat, That's my credo," the little bird said, And that's why they called her Red.

LYRICS:
I'm in the kitchen, my baby's in the hall I'm in the kitchen, my baby's in the hall I'm in the kitchen, baby's in the hall She won't speak to me at all 'Cause ya know we got, we got the separation blues.
See that fly - crawlin' up the wall See that fly - crawlin' up the wall See that fly - crawlin' up the wall He won't speak to Miss Spider at all
When you kick your baby out of bed Because she won't treat you nice When you feel mistreated, well, Buddy take my advice.
Leave that woman and leave her quick Leave that woman and leave her quick Leave that woman and leave her quick Or else she'll have you on a stick It's better to leave and get some separation blues.
Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve, Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve, Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve, The Lord said, "Adam, you got to leave" Well that gave him, gave him the separation blues.
The last words that John the Baptist said, The last words that John the Baptist said, The last words that John the Baptist said, Just before he lost his head, "This gives me, gives me the separation blues."
This goes to prove since time began What those women do to men; It's better to buy than to be sold To the gutter for a bottle of gin
If she don't treat you like you think she should, If she don't treat you like you think she should, If she don't treat you like you think she should, Your services ain't no longer no good It's time you got you got a dose of separation blues.

LYRICS:
In my garden grew plenty of thyme It would flourish by night and by day Then along came a lad and he took all I had He has stolen my thyme away
And I was a damsel fair But fairer I wished to appear So I washed me in milk and I clothed me in silk And I put the sweet thyme in my hair
In June the red rose is in bloom But that was no flower for me I plucked at the bud and it pricked me to blood And I gazed on a willow tree
And the willow tree it may twist And the willow tree it may twine I would I were clasped in my lover's arms fast For tis he who has stolen my Thyme

LYRICS:
Oh, when I was out in the world of sin I had no one to be my friend Jesus came and he taken me in Glory, hallelu And he taken my feet out the miry clay He placed them up on a rock to stay I thank God that I can say Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am Oh, Glory how happy I am My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb Glory, hallelu
I was out in darkness and I could not see Jesus came and he rescued me He claimed me and gave me a victory Glory, hallelu And one day while Jesus was passing by He set my sinful soul on fire He made me laugh and he made me cry Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am Oh, Glory how happy I am My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb Glory, hallelu
When I could not understand Jesus, he give me a lending hand Led me away to the promised land Glory, hallelu Oh, well he give me a horn and he told me to blow Go in peace and sin no more He led me away to the upright shore Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am Oh, Glory how happy I am My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb Glory, hallelu
I know something that's mighty swell A sweet little story I love to tell Jesus saved my soul from Hell Glory, hallelu Oh, stand back Satan, get out of my way I don't want to hear not a word you say I'm on my way to the King's highway Glory, hallelu Well thank God I got over at last Thank God I got over at last My feet is planted in the narrow path Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am Oh, Glory how happy I am My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb Glory, hallelu
When I had no home to claim I begin to call on Jesus' name He saved me from old Satan's chains Glory, hallelu Now I'm fire-baptized and holy ghost-filled I'm out here to do my master's will I must keep going, I must keep Glory, hallelu
Oh, Glory how happy I am Oh, Glory how happy I am My soul is washed in the blood of the lamb Glory, hallelu

Well, Cindy is a little gal She lives away down south She's so sweet the honeybees Swarm around her mouth
Chorus: Get along home, Cindy Cindy Get along home, Cindy Cindy Get along home, Cindy Cindy I'll marry you some day
Well, I went to see my Cindy She was standing in the door Her shoes and stockings in her hands Her clothes all over the floor
(Chorus)
My Cindy is a pretty girl My Cindy is a peach She throws her arms around my neck And hangs on like a leech
(Chorus)
I wish I were an apple A-hangin on the tree An' every time that Cindy passed She'd take a bite o' me
(Chorus)
She told me that she loved me She called me Sugarplum She drew her arms around me I thought my time had come
(Chorus)
Wish I had a needle and thread Wish that I could sew I'd sew that gal to my coat tails And down the road we'd go
(Chorus)
She loved me on the mountainside She loved me on the hill And every time she said "I won't" Her echo said "I will!"
(Chorus)
She took me to the parlor She cooled me with her fan She said I was the prettiest thing In the shape of mortal man
(Chorus)
She loves me in the summertime She loves me in the fall If she don't love me all the time I want no love at all
(Chorus)
If I had a pretty gal I'd put her on a shelf Ev'ry time she smiled at me I'd jump right up myself
(Chorus)
