On Top of Spaghetti
A
On top of spaghetti,
E
All covered with cheese,
B
I lost my poor meatball,
E
When somebody sneezed ):
A
It rolled off the table,
E
And onto the floor,

And then my meatball,
E
Rolled right out the door.
A
It rolled onto the sidewalk,
E
Then into the street,
B
And now my poor meatball,
E
Is too dirty to eat.
Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 1]
E
One evening as the sun went down
A E
And the jungle fires were burning,
E
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
A E
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
A E A E
I'm headed for a land that's far away
E B
Besides the crystal fountains
E
So come with me, we'll go and see
A E
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 2]
E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
A E
There's a land that's fair and bright,
A E
Where the handouts grow on bushes
A B
And you sleep out every night.
E
Where the boxcars all are empty
A E
And the sun shines every day
A E
And the birds and the bees
A E
And the cigarette trees
A E
The lemonade springs
A E
Where the bluebird sings
B E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 3]
E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
A E
All the cops have wooden legs
A E
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
A B
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
E
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
A E
And the barns are full of hay
A E
Oh I'm bound to go
A E
Where there ain't no snow
A E
Where the rain don't fall
A E
The winds don't blow
B E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Verse 4]
E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
A E
You never change your socks
A E
And the little streams of alcohol
A B
Come trickling down the rocks
E
The brakemen have to tip their hats
A E
And the railway bulls are blind
A E
There's a lake of stew
A E
And of whiskey too
A E
You can paddle all around it
A E
In a big canoe
B E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
[Verse 5]
E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
A E
The jails are made of tin.
A E
And you can walk right out again,
A B
As soon as you are in.
E
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
A E
No axes, saws nor picks,
A E
I'm bound to stay
A E
Where you sleep all day,
A E
Where they hung the jerk
A E
That invented work
B E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
[Outro]
A E A E
I'll see you all this coming fall
B E
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
Tonight You Belong to Me
[Verse 1]
E E7
I know (I know) you belong
A Am
To somebody new
E
But tonight
B E B
You belong to me
[Verse 2]
E E7
Although (although) we're apart
A Am
You're a part of my heart
E
But tonight
B E B
You belong to me
[Bridge]
Am
Wait down by the stream
How sweet it will seem
E F#7
Once more just to dream in
B
The moonlight
[Verse 3]
E
My honey I know
E7
With the dawn
A Am
That you will be gone
E
But tonight
B E B
You belong to me
E
But tonight
B
You belong
E
To me
Rare Old Mountain Dew
[Verse 1]
E A E B
Where the grasses grow, And the waters flow, In a free and easy way
E A E B E
But give me enough, Of the rare ol' stuff, That's made near Galway Bay
E E E C#m
Come goughers all, From Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim too
E A E B E
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-ey-day
E A E B E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 2]
E E
There's a neat little still At the foot of the hill
E A
Where the smoke curls up to the sky
E A
By the whiff and the smell, You can plainly tell
E B E
That there's poteen brewin' nearby
E E E A
For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
E A E B E
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew
[Chorus]
E A E B
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
E A E B E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
[Verse 3]
E E E A
Now learned men, Who use the pen, Have written your praises high
E A E B E
Of the rare poteen, From Ireland green, That's made from wheat and rye
E E E A
So, Away with yer pills, It'll cure all ills, Be ya, Pagan, Christian or Jew
E A E B E
So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew
[Chorus]
E A E B
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
E A E B E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day
E A E B
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-ey-day
E A E B E
Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-diddle-dum, Skideri-um-A-di, A-diddle-dum-day

In boxes made of ticky-tacky, and they all look just the same
