On Top of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti,

All covered with cheese,

I lost my poor meatball,

When somebody sneezed ):

It rolled off the table,

And onto the floor,

And then my meatball,

Rolled right out the door.

It rolled onto the sidewalk,

Then into the street,

And now my poor meatball,

Is too dirty to eat.
Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 1]
G
One evening as the sun went down
C G
And the jungle fires were burning,
G
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
C G
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
C G C G
I'm headed for a land that's far away
G D
Besides the crystal fountains
G
So come with me, we'll go and see
C G
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 2]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
C G
There's a land that's fair and bright,
C G
Where the handouts grow on bushes
C D
And you sleep out every night.
G
Where the boxcars all are empty
C G
And the sun shines every day
C G
And the birds and the bees
C G
And the cigarette trees
C G
The lemonade springs
C G
Where the bluebird sings
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 3]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
C G
All the cops have wooden legs
C G
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
C D
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
G
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
C G
And the barns are full of hay
C G
Oh I'm bound to go
C G
Where there ain't no snow
C G
Where the rain don't fall
C G
The winds don't blow
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 4]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
C G
You never change your socks
C G
And the little streams of alcohol
C D
Come trickling down the rocks
G
The brakemen have to tip their hats
C G
And the railway bulls are blind
C G
There's a lake of stew
C G
And of whiskey too
C G
You can paddle all around it
C G
In a big canoe
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 5]
G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
C G
The jails are made of tin.
C G
And you can walk right out again,
C D
As soon as you are in.
G
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
C G
No axes, saws nor picks,
C G
I'm bound to stay
C G
Where you sleep all day,
C G
Where they hung the jerk
C G
That invented work
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Outro]
C G C G
I'll see you all this coming fall
D G
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

[Bridge]

Wait down by the stream
How sweet it will seem

Once more just to dream in

The moonlight
[Verse 3]

My honey I know
G7
With the dawn
C Cm
That you will be gone
G
But tonight
D G D
You belong to me
G
But tonight
D
You belong

To me
Rare Old Mountain Dew
[Verse 1]
G C G D
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
G C G D G
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay
G G G Em
Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too
G C G D G
And we'll give 'em the slip,And we'll take a sip, Of the rare ol mountain dew
[Chorus]

Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 2]
G G
There's a neat little still At the foot of the hill
G C
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
G C
By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell
G D G
That there's poteen brewin' nearby
G G G C
For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
G C G D G
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew
[Chorus]
G C G D
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
G C G D G
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 3]
G G G C
Now learned men, Who use the pen, Have written your praises high
G C G D G
Of the rare poteen, From Ireland green, That's made from wheat and rye
G G G C
So, Away with yer pills, It'll cure all ills, Be ya, Pagan, Christian or Jew
G C G D G
So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew
[Chorus]
G C G D
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
