1.TURN! TURN! TURN!

To every thing, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones
A time to gather stones together

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace
A time to refrain from embracing

To everything, turn, turn, turn
There is a season, turn, turn, turn
And a time to every purpose under heaven

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late


2. IT WON'T BE WRONG

Every time I see you smile Come to me don't be long
Let me tell you how my heart goes wild
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong

Every time I'm in your arms Come to me don't be long
You know that I'll never do you harm
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong

Let me love you then you'll see come to me come to me
Let me show you once and we'll be free
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong

Every time I see you smile Come to me don't be long
Let me tell you how my heart goes wild
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong

Let me love you then you'll see come to me come to me
Let me show you once and we'll be free
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong


3. SET YOU FREE THIS TIME

The first thing that I heard you say when you were standing there
Set in your way was that you were not blind
You were sure to make a fool of me cause there was nothing there
That you could see that could go beyond your mind
Now who's standing at the door remembering the days before
And asking please be kind
It isn't how it was set up to be but I've set you free this time

I have never been so far out in front that I could ever ask for what I want
And have it any time
Knowing this you found a thought for me that told you just what I should be
And there I stood behind
With all the ones that went before and memories that always seems to
Tear me from my mind
In front of what it is you seem me to be I've set you free this time

I could never find a chance to choose between a way to win or a
thing to lose because there was your stand
On top of all the love you took
There was only something you can look at lying in your hand
Now who's wondering what has changed and why it can not be arranged
To have each thing work fine
It isn't how it was set up to be but I'll set you free this time


4. LAY DOWN YOUR WEARY TUNE

Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed's wove its strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

I stood unwound beneath the skies
And clouds unbound by laws
The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang
And asked for no applause
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo played
To the winds that listened best

I gazed down in the river's mirror
And watched its winding strum
The water smooth ran like a hymn
And like a harp did hum
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself 'neath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum


5. HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE

He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme
He was a friend of mine

He was in Dallas town, he was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
He was in Dallas town

He never knew my name, he never knew my name
Though I never met him I knew him just the same
Oh he was a friend of mine

Leader of a nation for such a precious time
He was a friend of mine


6. THE WORLD TURNS ALL AROUND HER

Well if you think she's everything that you could want
If you think she's everything that could be
Well I still think my world turns all around her
I still wish that she belonged to me

I don't know how I ever could have thought that
I'd let her go and still be just the same
I found out my world turns all around her
Everywhere I go I hear her name

Somewhere along the way I don't know why
Thought that I would want to let her go
Now whenever I see her with you I
Realize how much I didn't know

If you tell her everyday you love her
If you tell her everything she could be
You'll find out that your world turns all around her
You'll feel the same if you should set her free


7. SATISFIED MIND

How many times have you heard someone say:
If I had his money I could do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind

Once I was winning in fortune and fame
Everything I could wish for to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happend, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Money won't buy back your youth when you're old
A friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown cold.
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

When my life is over, my time has run out
My friends and my loved ones will weep, there's no doubt.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time
I'll leave this old world with a satisfied mind.


8. IF YOU GONE

If I need you to me your everything
If I have you if I love you just the same
If your here the night is likely going to fall
If your gone I'll see the daylight in that song

If I stand alone understanding what is now
If I ever need someone to show me how
If the daylight can be hidden by the sun
If your gone then I'll know why I miss someone

If I love you if I know how much I care
If I find the things you wanted anywhere
If I know you I may never know your name
If your gone then there is nothing that remains


9. HE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'

Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'


10. WAIT AND SEE

Watch out what you say, don't get in my way
I'm gonna get that girl, wait and see
I saw her today, she came by my way
I'm gonna win her love just for me

And together we'll go walkin'
Through the evening still be talkin'
She's the kind of girl you never hardly see

Have you seen her eyes, do you realize
How much love likt that can mean to me?
I know she knows me, today after tea
The way she held her head when she walked by

And before the night is over
I think I'm gonna love her
And if it last forever I don't care

Say now she is mine, I told you all the time
How could I let a girl like that go by

And before the night is over
I think I'm gonna love her
And if it last forever I don't care


11. OH ! SUSANNAH !

Well I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
and I'm going to Louisiana Sasannah for to see
Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee

Well it rained so hard the night I left, the weather it was dry
And it was so hot I froze to death, Susannah don't you cry
Oh Susannah now don't you cry for me
Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee
