Ain't Dat A Shame

One dark and stormy night, de rain was fallin' fast.
Bill Bailey told his lady friend "our dream of love is past".
He said no more, just slammed de door.
He wandered 'round de town but he didn't have a cent.
He thought about his pork-chop and back to de house he went.
Oh, listen to his mournful cries.
"Ain't dat a shame, a measly shame.
To leave your honey out in de rain.
Lawdy have a little pitty.
Won't you open dat door and let me in.
I'll stand here freezin', wet to de skin."
He stood outside de door all the whole night long.
He cried "Oh, mama, won't you let me in, I know dat I've done wrong.
I'll prove it, see. Please whisper to me."
Then a bass voice from inside hollered through de door
"Go, find yourself another hay-pile, you don't roost here no more!"
and passers by could here Bill cry.
"Ain't dat a shame, a measly shame.
To leave your honey out in de rain.
Throw me down an umbrella.
Won't you open dat door and let me in.
I'll stand here freezin', wet to de skin."

If I ever get my new house done
Sail away ladies, Sail away
I’ll give my old one to my son
Sail away ladies, Sail away
Don’t you rock em, Daddy O
Now children don’t you sit and cry
Sail away ladies, Sail away
We’ll all be angels, by and by
Sail away ladies, Sail away
I got word from Shiloh town
Sail away ladies, Sail away
Ol' Saint Louis is burning down
Sail away ladies, Sail away

The Fortune Tellin' Man
03:24

In a big, old house, just as quiet as a mouse I sits and 'casionally reads about ol' Mars.
And in the dead of night, without a speck of light I studies through de window all de stars.
Then early in de morn, jussa before de break o' dawn I gets what little restin' dat I can.
Because I must be up, you see, to see folks what comes to me.
They all come see de fortune tellin' man.
I am dat fortune tellin' man.
There's no kinda dream that I can't understand.
I can tell your future by lookin' in your hand.
'Cause I am de fortune tellin' man.
The very next night, just before I lit de light a monstrous looking man came to my door.
He said he had a dream, and awful thing he'd seen: a spirit dressed in white walked 'cross his floor.
And so I looked into his hand and I said "See here, young man, your dream and both your hands they wear a veil."
I could read his great surprise as I telescoped his eyes and said "You'll marry quick or go to jail."

Dinah dear while all is still and sleeping.
And the moon above the hill is creeping.
Underneath your window love a-pining, I sing a serenade to you.
Vowing by the stars above a-shining, that my love is true.
Oh Dinah, there's none diviner. Oh Dinah, promise me tonight you will be mine-a.
Oh Dinah, underneath your window love I'm singing, can't you hear my merry banjo ringing.
Dinah dear, lend your beauty to the scene.
Oh Dinah, round my heart like ivy you are clinging, Dinah you're my queen.
Won't you come out, come out, come out Dinah on the green.
Dinah dear, a soft south wind is sighing.
And the stars down through the trees are spying.
I am hear your love to claim believe me, you are all my hearts delight.
If you do not take my name, twill grieve me, tell me yes tonight.
Oh Dinah, there's none diviner. Oh Dinah, promise me tonight you will be mine-a.
Oh Dinah, underneath your window love I'm singing, can't you hear my merry banjo ringing.
Dinah dear, lend your beauty to the scene.
Oh Dinah, round my heart like ivy you are clinging, Dinah you're my queen.
Won't you come out, come out, come out Dinah on the green.

The Dublin City Rounders Dublin, Ireland
If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a
sleeveless denim jacket.
Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads!
