CROSSING THE BAR
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
When I put out to sea,
When I put out to sea,
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Turns again home,
Turns again home,
When that which drew from out
the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell;
When I embark;
When I embark,
When I embark,
And may there be no sadness of farewell;
When I embark.
For tho' from out our bourne of time and place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
2 X When I have crossed the bar,
When I have crossed the bar,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar

CAPT. KIDD (The Dying Words of)
O, my name was Capt. Kidd;
when I sail'd, when I sail'd,
O, my name was Capt. Kidd, when I sail'd;
My name was Capt. Kidd, and God's laws I did forbid,
and so wickedly I did,
when I sail'd, when I sail'd.
so wickedly I did, when I sail'd.
I'd a bible in my hand,
when I sail'd, when I sail'd.
I'd a bible in my hand, when I sail’d;
I'd a bible in my hand, by my father's great command,
but I sunk it in the sand,
when Isail'd, when I sail'd.
I sunk it in the sand, when I sail'd.
I spy'd three ships of Spain,
as I sail'd, as I sail’d,
I spy'd three ships of Spain, as I sail'd;
I spy'd three ships of Spain, and I fir'd on them amain,
’till most of them were slain,
as I sail'd, as I sail'd.
"Till most of their men were slain, as I sail'd.
O, I murder’d William Moore,
as I sail'd, as I sail'd,
O, I murder’d William Moore, as I sail'd,
I murder'd William Moore, and I left him in his gore,
not many leagues from shore,
as I sail'd, as I sail'd.
Not many leagues from shore, as I sail'd.
Come all ye young and old, see me die, see me die,
O. Come All ye voung and old... see me die

The CRUEL WAR
​The cruel war is raging,
poor Johnny has to fight,
I long to be with him, from morning till night.
I long to be with him, it grieves my heart so,
Won't you let me go with you? No, my love no.
​
Tomorrow is Sunday, and Monday is the day
Your captain calls for you, and you must obey.
Your captain calls for you, it grieves my heart so,
Let me go with you? No, my love no.
​
Your waist is to slender,
your fingers are too small,
Your cheeks are too rosy
to face the cannon ball.
Your cheeks are too rosy,
it grieves my heart so,
Let me go with you? No, my love no.
​
As you go into battle, by night and by day,
Those red rosy cheeks they will soon fade away.
Those red rosy cheeks that I love so,
I long to be with you? No, my love no.
​
I'll tie back my hair, men's clothing I'll put on,
I'll pass as your comrade as we march along.
I'll pass as your comrade,
and none will ever know
Please let me go with you, No, my love, no.
​
Oh, Johnny, oh, Johnny,
I fear you are unkind,
I love you far better than all other mankind.
I love you far better
than words can e're express,
Please let me go with you, Yes, my love, yes.
