Everybody Has A Tale

EVERYBODY HAS A TALE
A man I met a while ago
Deep-wrinkled was his face
He told me that the shadows
Were where he loved to pace
I asked him then: ‘The shadows
What do you hope to find?’
“I’m not looking” he replied to me,
“I feel safe with my own kind”
A girl I heard by the shop’s front door.
Her voice so sweet, like honey.
Her eyes so bright, so full of hope.
Her hat filled up with money,
I asked myself what will be hers?
Misery or Glory.
Possibly the two of them
Once she’s lived her life’s full story.
Everybody has a tale
One that can be told
The girl that’s singing on the street
The man who grew so old
Or a child that holds his mothers hand
Just listen carefully
While it chatters away the time of day
He creates his history.
I touch your face, so quiet at ease
And within your arms our child
And as all new-born parents do
We pray he won’t be wild
Or could he be a quiet one ?
It’s anybodies guess!
When will we see the suit of cards
He holds tight to his breast
Everybody has a tale
A tale that can be told
The girl that’s singing on the street
Or the man who grew so old
our child that’s lying in your arms
He has his way to go
While we wait and watch and listen and learn
We gently watch him grow.

Green Grow The Rashes
This is one of the most characteristic of all Burns' songs, although one of his earliest. We sing an anglicized version.
Chorus
Green grow the rashes, O;
Green grow the rashes, O;
The sweetest hours that e'er I spend,
Are spent amang the lasses, O.
There's nought but care on ev'ry han',
In ev'ry hour that passes, O;
What signifies the life o' man,
An' 'twere na for the lasses,
O.
Green grow, etc
The warly race may riches chase,
An' riches still may fly them, O;
An' tho' at last they catch them fast,
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, O.
Green grow, etc
But gie me a canny hour at e'en,
My arms about my Dearie, O;
An' warly cares an' warly men,
May a' gae tapsalteerie, O!
Green grow, etc
For you sae douse, ye sneer at this,
Ye're nought but senseless asses, O;
The wisest Man the warl' saw,
He dearly lov'd the lasses, O.
Green grow, etc
Auld Nature swears, the lovely Dears
Her noblest work she classes, O;
Her prentice han' she try'd on man,
An' then she made the lasses, O.
Green grow, etc

BRAW SAILING
There cam' a letter yesterday
The Ship it will sail at morn
"Alas!" Cried my bonny lass
That ever I was born
Chorus
And it's Braw sailing on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better tae be in my love's airms
I wish that I were there
And when he cam tae her farm hous
e
At twelve o'clock at noon
This lassie bein' prude hairted
She wouldna let him in
Then she's ta'en a ring frae her pocket
It cost him shillings nine
Sayin'"Tak ye that my bonnie lad
For I ha'e changed my min'
So he's ta'e a ring frae his pocket
It cost him guineas three
Sayin' "Tak ye that my bonnie lass
An' aye think weel o'me"
"
An' it's braw drinkin' Glasgow beer
It's better drinkin' wine
It's better tae be in my love's airms
Where I've been many’s the time

Closing of the day
(Sam Pirt, Tim Van Eyken, Jo Freya)
Join the call to gather all
At the closing of the day
And we’ll raise our voices high
And we’ll sing the night away
For the joy of our meeting
Will never fade away
While we hold within our keeping
The music that we play
Chorus
We stand together in harmony
Lift up our hearts and we
Think of the friends who weren’t able to stay
No greater pleasure is there for us
Than when united in chorus
We celebrate the passing of this special day
Though it cannot last forever
Now’s the time for us to say
How we love to be together
Through the music that we play
For all the melodies
Are sure to carry on
They’ll pass down the centuries
Even after we are gone
