A little sagging in the floor
But this hou |

| Peter, Paul And Mary - COMING OF THE ROADS |

hungry for wealth
How come it's you that's a-going

We used to hunt the cool caverns deep in our
forest of green
Then came |
| Peter, Paul And Mary - FAIR IRELAND |
| They build bombs and aim their pistols in the

And they swear an oath of vengeance to the martyrs

But they pray for peace on Sundays with a rosary
in each hand
It's lon |

| Peter, Paul And Mary - IF I HAD WINGS |
| If I had wings no one would ask me should I fly
The bird sings, no one asks why.
I can see in myself wings as I feel them
If you see something else, keep your thoughts to
yourself,
I'll fly free then.

| Peter, Paul And Mary - LIGHT ONE CANDLE |
| Light one candle for the Maccabee children
Give thanks that their light didn't die!
Light one candle for the pain they endured
When their right to exist was denied!
Light one candle for the terrible sa |
| Peter, Paul And Mary - LONG CHAIN ON |
| One night as I lay on my pillow,

Someone like you makes it h |
| Peter, Paul And Mary - SHE DREAMS |
