He
Was A Friend Of Mine
Traditional
with additional lyrics by jim mcguinn
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
Form a sixth floor window
A gunner shot him down
He died 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

It
Won't Be Wrong (don't Be Long)
Written
by jim mcguinn and harvey gerst
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 you're in my arms, come to me , don't be long
You know that i'll never do you no harm
Please let me love you and it won't be wrong

Let me love you and 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
Repeat first verse
Repeat chorus

Lay
Down Your Weary Tune
Written
by bob dylan
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
Sruck 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 beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed 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 beneath 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
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

Satisfied
Mind
How
many times have you heard someone say
If i had his money i'd do things my way
But little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind
For money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely or a heart that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind
Once i was living in fortune and fame
I had all that i dreamed of to get a start in life's game
Then suddenly it happened and i lost every dime
But i'm richer by far with a satisfied mind

Set
You Free This Time
The
first thing that i heard you say
When you were standing there sad 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 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 the thought for me
That told you just what i should be
And there i stood behind.
With all the ones that were before
And memories that always seem to tear me from my mind
In front of what it is you see me to be
And i've set you free this time.
I could never find a chance to choose
Between a way to wear or a thing to loose
Because there was your stand
On top of all of the love you took
That was always something you could look at
Lying in your hand
Now who's wondering what has changed
And why it cannot be arranged to have each thing work fine
It isn't how it was set up to be
But i've set you free this time

The
Times They Are A Changin
Written
by bob dylan
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 swimming
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a changin
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
Keep your eyes open
The chance won't come again
Watch what you say
For the wheel's still in spin
And there ain't tellin' who that it's naming
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 who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
The battle outside raging
It'll rattle your windows
And shake down your walls
For the times they are a changin
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticise
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly aging
Get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a changin

The
World Turns All Around Her
Well
if you think she's everything you could want
And if you think she's everything that could be
Well i still think the world turns all around her
And i still wish that she belonged to me
I don't know how i ever could thought that
I'd let her go and still be just the same
Well i found out my world turned all around her
And every where i go i hear her name
Somewhere along the way i don't know why
I thought that i would want to let her go
But now whenever i see her with you i
Realize how much i didn't know
So if you tell her everyday you love her
And if you tell her everything she could be
You'll find out that your world will turn around her
You'll feel the same if you should set her free

Turn!
Turn! Turn!
Words-adapted
from the bible, book of ecclesiastes
Music-pete seeger
To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for 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 for 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 for 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 for 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
