give me roses while i live: a 1930-40s playlist inspired by tbosas
[listen on yt]
hi disclaimer im chinese and not from appalachia and i don't want to americasplain anything to anyone so pls tell me if i get anything wrong!!
SIDE A: THE GAMES
john hardy was a desperate little man
john hardy walked out on his scaffold high
with his loving little wife by his side
and the last words she heard poor john-o say was
"i'll meet you in that sweet by-and-by"
there'll be no distinction there
they tell me up in heaven
we will all be as one
and we'll all sing together
when the life's crown is won
we shall rise
in that resurrection morning
when these prison bars are broken
we shall rise, hallelujah, we shall rise
east virginia blues #2
oh, i am dying, captain, dying
won't you take these words for me
take them over to the jailhouse:
let this whole wide world go free
don't forget this song
but now i'm upon my scaffold
my time's not very long
you may forget the singer
but don't forget this song
SIDE B: THE GHOSTS
give me roses while i live
give me the roses while I live
trying to cheer me on
useless are flowers that you give
after the soul is gone
wildwood flower
oh, he taught me to love him and called me his flower
that was blooming to cheer him through life's dreary hour
oh, i long to see him regret the dark hour
he went and neglected this pale wildwood flower
you're gonna be sorry
i believed you, darling, when you said to me
that we'd be happy, we'd be free
but now i found, dear, a fault in thee
when we were wed, love, i could not see
the birds are singing of you
i heard the birds a-singing
out among the trees and hills
and all the birds, my darling
were singing, were singing of you
when i'm gone
you're gonna miss me by my song
you're gonna miss me all day long
oh, i know you will miss me when i'm gone
