N MY TIME OF DYING (Jesus Make Up My Dying Bed) Well, in my time of dying don't want nobody to mourn 
All I want for you to do is take my body home
 Well, well, well, so I can die easy
 Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy
 Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
 Jesus gonna make up my dying bed Well, meet me Jesus, meet me, meet me 
in the middle of the air 
If these wings should fail to me 
Lord, won't you meet me with another pair
 Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy
 Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
 Jesus gonna make up my dying bed Lord, in my time of dying don't want nobody to cry 
All I want you to do is take me when I die
 Well, well, well, so I can die easy
 Well, well, well, so I can die easy Well, well, well, so I can die easy 
Jesus gonna make up, Jesus gonna make up
 Jesus gonna make up my dying bed

The Mermaid 03:41
THE MERMAID (Waves On The Sea) Twas Friday morn when we set sail 
And we were not far from the land 
 When the captain, he spied a lovely mermaid 
With a comb and a glass in her hand O the ocean's waves will roll
 And the stormy winds will blow
 While we poor sailors go skipping to the top 
 And the landlubbers lie down below (below, below) 
And the landlubbers lie down below And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship 
 And a well-spoken man was he 
I have me a wife in Salem by the sea 
And tonight she a widow will be And up spoke the cookie of our gallant ship 
And a red hot cookie was he 
 Saying I care much more for my pots and my pans 
Than I do for the bottom of the sea Then up spoke the cabinboy, of our gallant ship 
 And a nasty little lad was he. 
 I'm not quite sure I can spell "mermaid" 
But I'm going to the bottom of the sea. Then three times around went our gallant ship 
And three times around went she 
 Three times around went our gallant ship 
 And she sank to the bottom of the sea

Blacksmith 07:10
BLACKSMITH (A Blacksmith Courted Me) A blacksmith courted me Nine months and better He fairly won my heart Wrote me a letter. With his hammer in his hand He looked so clever And if I was with my love I would live forever. But where is my love gone With his cheeks like roses And his good black Billycock on Decked around with primroses. I fear the shining sun May burn and scorch his beauty And if I was with my love I would do my duty. Strange news is come to town Strange news is carried Strange news flies up and down That my love is married. I wish them both much joy Though they can't hear me And may God reward him well For the slighting of me. Don't you remember when You lay beside me And you said you'd marry me And not deny me. If I said I'd marry you It was only for to try you So bring your witness love And I'll not deny you. Oh, witness have I none Save God Almighty And may he reward you well For the slighting of me. Her lips grew pale and wan It made a poor heart tremble To think she loved a one And he proved deceitful. A blacksmith courted me Nine months and better He fairly won my heart Wrote me a letter. With his hammer in his hand He looked so clever And if I was with my love I would live forever.
