I am a man of constant sorrow

I’ve seen trouble all my day.

I bid farewell to old Kentucky

The place where I was born and raised.

(The place where he was born and raised)

For six long years I’ve been in trouble

No pleasures here on earth I found

For in this world I’m bound to ramble

I have no friends to help me now.

So she took her love

For to gaze awhile

Upon the fields of barley

In his arms she fell as her hair came down

Among the fields of gold

… of course, up until now I always thought the lyrics were “the fields of Bali”. Seems that’s a common mistake.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.

Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.

Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.

I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

All the world is moanin’

And baby so am I

I’m just givin’ you warning

And I’m telling you why

Lord’s gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord’s gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord’s gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

Lord’s gonna get us back [x4]

I know, I know

When people go

When people leave

Makes some people cry

Makes some people drink

Song of the Day: When People Go – Craig Cardiff

goodnight, go home.

there’s nothing more to see.

just a song and a box,

no more need to cry.

please find a friend, have a drink and go home.

take them into your heart.

tell them how much you need them.

go to bed

and goodnight, go home.

Craig played at camp last for the midsummer Inservice for the staff. Fylljah and Abrigo got to open for him.

Song of the Day: Dirty Work by Steely Dan

I’m a fool to do your dirty work, oh, yeah.

I don’t want to do your dirty work no more.

I’m a fool to do your dirty work, oh, yeah.

I don’t care who you are
Where you’re from
What you did
As long as you love me
Who you are
Where you’re from
Don’t care what you did
As long as you love me

Oh my weird little brain… where do you come up with these things.

Springtime! Springtime!
Springtime! Springtime!

Oh the things that my brain absorbs…
