Volunteered for the army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan

Left my heart to the sappers round Khe Sanh
My soul was sold with my cigarettes to the blackmarket man
Had the Vietnam cold turkey
From the ocean to the Silver City
And it's only other vets could understand

About the long forgotten dockside guarantees
There were no V-day heroes in 1973
How we sailed into Sydney Harbour
Saw an old friend but couldn't kiss her
She was lined, and I was home to the lucky land

For the leaves are getting greener,
    And spring is on the way;
    And the girls are getting prettier
    And younger every day.

Silver in the stubble,
Winter in the wood.
Fare you well you wicked world
I'm going to be good.

I didn't know this was one of Sydney Carter's, nor did I know he died a year ago :-(

The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day till eternity passes away,
Just to spend them with you

Is it perfume? Is it wee?
Whatever it's supposed to be it doesn't taste like tea
Should I drink it or dab it on?
Can I swap it for a coffee or has all the water gone?

It is hot it is wet
It is eau de toilette
Is it Twinings? Is it Tetley? Let me see
Go ahead make my day
But please don't make me drink Earl Grey
All I want is a proper cup of tea

i nipped her and i told her

I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun
I rode the rods till evening and I laid me down again
All strangers there, no friends to me, till a dark girl towards
me came
And I fell in love with a creole girl by the lakes of Ponchartrain

I said, "Me pretty Creole girl, me money's here no good
And if it weren't for the alligators, I would sleep out in the
wood"
"You're welcome here, kind stranger, our house is very plain
And we never turned a stranger out on by the Lakes of Ponchartrain"

People disagreeing everywhere you look,
Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
Why only yesterday I saw somebody on the street
That was really shook.
But this ol' river keeps on rollin', though,
No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow,
And as long as it does I'll just sit here
And watch the river flow.

Black socks, they never get dirty
The longer you wear them the blacker they get
Sometimes I think I should wash them
But some thing keeps saying
No, no, not yet, not yet, not yet.
