On Top of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti,
A
All covered with cheese,
E
I lost my poor meatball,
A
When somebody sneezed ):

It rolled off the table,

And onto the floor,

And then my meatball,
A
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]
A
One evening as the sun went down
D A
And the jungle fires were burning,
A
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
D A
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
D A D A
I'm headed for a land that's far away
A E
Besides the crystal fountains
A
So come with me, we'll go and see
D A
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 2]
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
D A
There's a land that's fair and bright,
D A
Where the handouts grow on bushes
D E
And you sleep out every night.
A
Where the boxcars all are empty
D A
And the sun shines every day
D A
And the birds and the bees
D A
And the cigarette trees
D A
The lemonade springs
D A
Where the bluebird sings
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 3]
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
D A
All the cops have wooden legs
D A
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
D E
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
A
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
D A
And the barns are full of hay
D A
Oh I'm bound to go
D A
Where there ain't no snow
D A
Where the rain don't fall
D A
The winds don't blow
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 4]
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
D A
You never change your socks
D A
And the little streams of alcohol
D E
Come trickling down the rocks
A
The brakemen have to tip their hats
D A
And the railway bulls are blind
D A
There's a lake of stew
D A
And of whiskey too
D A
You can paddle all around it
D A
In a big canoe
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 5]
A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
D A
The jails are made of tin.
D A
And you can walk right out again,
D E
As soon as you are in.
A
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
D A
No axes, saws nor picks,
D A
I'm bound to stay
D A
Where you sleep all day,
D A
Where they hung the jerk
D A
That invented work
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Outro]
D A D A
I'll see you all this coming fall
E A
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
Tonight You Belong to Me
[Verse 1]
A A7
I know (I know) you belong
D Dm
To somebody new
A
But tonight
E A E
You belong to me
[Verse 2]
A A7
Although (although) we're apart
D Dm
You're a part of my heart
A
But tonight
E A E
You belong to me
[Bridge]
Dm
Wait down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
A B7
Once more just to dream in
E
The moonlight
[Verse 3]
A
My honey I know
A7
With the dawn
D Dm
That you will be gone
A
But tonight
E A E
You belong to me
A
But tonight
E
You belong
A
To me
Rare Old Mountain Dew
[Verse 1]
A D A E
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
A D A E A
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay
A A A F#m
Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too
A D A E A
And we'll give 'em the slip,And we'll take a sip, Of the rare ol mountain dew
[Chorus]
A D A E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
A D A E A
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 2]
A A
There's a neat little still At the foot of the hill
A D
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
A D
By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell
A E A
That there's poteen brewin' nearby
A A A D
For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
A D A E A
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew
[Chorus]
A D A E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
A D A E A
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 3]
A A A D
Now learned men, Who use the pen, Have written your praises high
A D A E A
Of the rare poteen, From Ireland green, That's made from wheat and rye
A A A D
So, Away with yer pills, It'll cure all ills, Be ya, Pagan, Christian or Jew
A D A E A
So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew
[Chorus]
A D A E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
A D A E A
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
A D A E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
A D A E A
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day

Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes made of ticky-tacky

A D A
And the children go to summer camp, and then to the uni-versity
A E7 A E7 A
Where they all are put in boxes, and they come out all the same
A D A
And the boys go into business, and marry and raise a family
A E7 A E
In boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
A D A
There's a green one, and a pink one, and a blue one, and a yellow one
