God Save The Queen
God save our gracious queen!
Long live our noble queen!
God save the queen!
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the queen!
O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.
Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.
Land of Hope and Glory
Land of Hope and Glory,
Mother of the free,
How shall we extole thee,
Who are born of thee,
Wider and still wider,
Shall thy bounds be set,
God who made the mighty,
Make thee mightier yet!!,
God who made thee mighty,
Make thee mightier yet!
Auld lang syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
And here's a hand, my trusty frien',
And giv'us a hand o' thine,
We'll take a right gude willing draught,
For auld lang syne.
Happy days are here again
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Altogether shout it now
There's no one who can doubt it now
So let's tell the world about is now
Happy days are here again
Your care and troubles are gone
There'll be no more from now on
Happy days are here again
The skies above are clear again
Let us sing a song of cheer again
Happy days are here again
Pack up your troubles
Pack up your troubles in your old kitbag
And smile, smile, smile
While you've a lucifer to light your fag
Smile boys that's the style
What's the use of worrying
It never was worth while
So pack up your troubles in your old kitbag
And smile, smile smile
Du; Peter Mafay
In Deinen Augen steht so vieles was mir sagt
Du fühlst genau so wie ich
Du bist das Mädchen das zu mir gehört
Ich lebe nur noch für Dich
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt,
Du bist alles was ich will
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n
Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir geh'n
Seit wir uns kennen ist mein Leben bunt und schön
Und es ist schön nur durch Dich
Was auch gescheh'n mag ich bleibe bei Dir
Ich laß Dich niemals im Stich
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt,
Du bist alles was ich will
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n
Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir geh'n
Blowin in the wind;Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down,
before you call him a man?
How many seas must a white dove sail,
before she sleeps in the sand?
And how many times must a cannon ball fly,
before they're forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
How many years can a mountain exist,
before it is washed to the sea?
How many years can some people exist,
before they're allowed to be free?
And how many times can a man turn his head,
and pretend that he just doesn't see?
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind,
the answer is blowing in the wind.
Wonderful world; Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin'
"How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cryin', I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself, what a wonderful world
(Chorus)
Thy purse and eke thy gay gilt knives,
Thy pincase gallant to the eye;
No better wore the Burgesse wives
Droomland; Andre Hazes
d yet thou wouldst not love me.
Heerlijk land van mijn dromen
Ergens hier ver vandaan.
Waar ik zo graag wil komen,
Daar waar geen leed kan bestaan.
Droomland. Droomland.
Oh ik verlang zo naar Droomland.
Daar is steeds vree
Dus ga met mij mee,
Samen naar ’t heerlijke Droomland.
Zwerver gij vindt daar vrede
Zieke gij kent geen pijn.
Daar wordt geen strijd gestreden
Daar waar mijn broeders nog zijn.
Droomland. Droomland.
Oh ik verlang zo naar Droomland.
Daar is steeds vree
Dus ga met me mee,
Samen naar ’t heerlijke Droomland.
Daar is steeds vree
Dus ga met me mee,
Samen naar ’t heerlijke Droomland.
Chorus)
Thy crimson stockings all of silk,
With
as was the milk
And yet thou wouldst not love me.
(Chorus)
In a cavern, in a canyon,
D7
Du
Deinen.....
In Deinen Augen steht so vieles was mir sagt
Du fühlst genau so wie ich.
Du bist das Mädchen das zu mir gehört,
ich lebe nur noch für Dich.
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt, Du bist alles was ich will.
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
Seit wir uns kennen ist mein Leben bunt und schön,
und es ist schön nur durch Dich.
Was auch gescheh'n mag ich bleibe bei Dir,
ich laß Dich niemals im Stich.
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt, Du bist alles was ich will.
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
Ich kann nicht sagen was Du für mich bist,
sag daß ich Dich - Dich nie verlier.
Ohne Dich leben das kann ich nicht mehr,
nichts kann mich trennen von Dir.
Du bist alles, was ich habe auf der Welt, Du
bist alles was ich will - yeah...
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du, Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.
Du, Du allein kannst mich versteh'n. Du - Du darfst nie mehr von mir gehn.

g for a mine,
C G
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
D7 G
And his daughter Clementine.
Geef mij maar Amsterdam
Geef mij maar Amsterdam
Dat is mooier dan Parijs
Geef mij maar Amsterdam
Mijn Mokums paradijs
Geef mij maar Amsterdam
Met zijn Amstel en het IJ
Want in Mokum ben ik rijk
En gelukkig tegelijk
Geef mij maar Amsterdam
Klaverjasclub Schoppen Negen
Was een weekje in Parijs
Om de contributie te verteren
Ome Piet de secretaris
Had al maanden voor die tijd
In zijn eentje Frans zitten leren
Maar toen niemand hem verstond, deed hij mal
Want hij zong op de Place Pigalle
refr.
Op de hoge Eiffeltoren
Ging de bakker haast om zeep
Van de hoogte kreeg hij het te pakken
Als de slager niet toevallig
Net zijn lange stelten greep
Had hij nooit geen brood meer gebakken
Van de schrik gingen ze gauw naar benee
En toen klonk op de Champs Elysees
refr.
Liever in Mokum zonder poen
Dan in Parijs met een miljoen
Geef mij maar Amsterdam
Refrain:
G The wild rover
I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I spent all my money on whiskey and beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
Refrein:
And it's no, nay, never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more.
I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay
Such a custom as yours I could have any day."
Refrein
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest."
Refrein
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they caress me as ofttimes before
Sure I never will play the wild rover no more
Refrein
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
D7
Oh my darling Clementine
C G
You are lost and gone forever,
D7 G
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Sarie Marais
My Sarie Marais is so ver van my hart
Maar'k hoop om haar weer te sien
Sy het in die wyk van die Mooi Rivier gewoon
Nog voor die oorlog het begin
Refein:
O bring my trug na die ou Transvaal
Daar waar my Sarie woon
Daar onder in die mielies
By die groen doringboom
Daar woon my Sarie Marais
Daar onder in die mielies
By die groen doringboom
Daar woon my Sarie Marais
Ek was so bang dat die Kakies my sou vang
En ver oor die see wegstuur
Toe vlug ek na die kant van die Upington se sand
Daar onder langs die Grootrivier
Refrein
as, and like a fairy,
D7
And her shoes were number nine,
C G
Sandals were for Clementine.
Ref.
G Go down Moses
When Israel was in Egypt's land
Let my people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let my people go
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.
Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said,
Let my people go,
If not, I'll smite your first-born dead,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.
No more shall they in bondage toil,
Let my people go,
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.
The Lord told Moses what to do,
Let my people go,
To lead the Hebrew children through,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.
O come along Moses, you'll not get lost,
Let my people go,
Stretch out your rod and come across,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.
As Israel stood by the waterside,
Let my people go,
At God's command it did divide,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.
When they reached the other shore,
Let my people go,
They sang a song of triumph o'er,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land
Tell ol' Pharaoh, Let my people go.

Walking lightly as a fairy,
D7
Though her shoes were number nine,
C G
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping,
D7 G
Lovely girl, my Clementine
Ref.
-
Drove she ducklings to the water
D7
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
C G
Hit her foot against a splinter,
D7 G
Fell into the foaming brine.
