               THE BATTLE IS OVER by Jonny Cash

I think sir the battle is over and a young soldier lay down his gun
I'm tired of running for cover,I'm certain the battle is done
For see over there where we fought them,it's quite for they've all gone away
All's left is the dead and the dying,the blue lying 'long side the grey

So you think the battle is over and you even lay down your gun
You carelessly rise from your cover,for you think the battle is done
But boy hit the dirt listen to me,for I'm still the one in command
Get flat on the ground here beside me and lay your ear hard to the sand

Can you hear the death burning rumble,can you feel the trembling ground
It's not just the horses and wagons,that make such a death burning sound
For every shot fired had an echo,and every man killed wanted life
There lies your friend Jim McKenny,can you take the news to his wife

No son the battles not over,the battle has only begun
The rest of the battle will cover,the part that has blackened the sun
The fight's not to come yet with cannons,nor will the fight be hand to hand
No one will regroup the forces,no charge will a General command

The battle will rage in the bosom ,of mother and sweetheart and wife
Brothers,sisters and daughters will grieve for the rest of their lives
Now go ahead and rise from your cover,be thankful that God let you live
Go fight the rest of the battle for those who gave all they could give

I see sir the battle's not over,the battle has only begun
The rest of the battle will cover, the part that has darkened the sun
For there's no sound of the cannon and though there's no smoke in the sky
I'm dropping the gun and the sabre and ready for battle on high

Remember the Alamo!
March, the 6th, 1836. The Alamo has fallen, it's all over. 189 fighting heroes have just given their lives for their country, their families and their property. They've resisted for thirteen days of glory against an army of 7,000. And have never surrendered. Victory or Death! They died. As heroes. A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh. Any man that would fight to the death cross over, But him that would live better fly And over the line went a hundred and seventy nine Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below, That men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo Bowie lay dyin', but his powder was ready and dry Flat on his back Bowie killed him a few in reply And young David Crockett was singin' and laughin', With gallantry fierce in his eyes For God and for freedom, a man more than willin' to die Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below, that men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo And then they sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud, With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud "Grieve not little darlin' my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free, We'll never surrender and ever with liberty be" Hey Santa Anna we're killing your soldiers below, that men where ever they go, will remember the Alamo No copyright violation intended!

The Alamo
This one is for my friend Kevin. A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh Any man that would fight to the death, cross over But if you wanna live, you better fly And over the line stepped a hundred and seventy nine Chorus: Hey, Santa Ana, we're killing you're soldiers below So men, wherever they go, will remember the Alamo Old Bowie lay dyin', his powder was ready and dry Flat on his back, Bowie killed him a few in reply And young Davy Crockett was smilin' and laughin' with gallantry tears in eyes For God and for freedom, a man more than willing to die Repeat chorus They sent a young scout from the battlements bloody and loud With the words of farewell from a garrison valiant and proud Grieve not little darlin', my dyin', if Texas is sovereign and free We'll never surrender and ever will liberty be Repeat chorus

Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone - Love Potion #9 - The Battle Of New Orleans - Dandy - Folsome Prison Blues 06/27/2008
Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone - Love Potion #9 (The Clovers cover) - The Battle Of New Orleans (written by Jimmie Driftwood recorded by many, most associated w/ Johnny Horton's 1959 recording) - Dandy - Folsome Prison Blues (Johnny Cash cover) @ the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz, California - June 27th, 2008 (see lyrics below) Herman's Hermits starring Peter Noone was number four on our summer concert agenda. We are huge fans of the British Invasion of the 1960s. However, even if we were not, we would still love Peter Noone immensely. He is such a great showman and going to his concerts have become a yearly event for my family. If fact, we are actually card-carrying members of his fan club. We were able to see the show right on the beach at the historic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. What a fun and memorable experience. The city of Santa Cruz really goes all out to attract tourism. Definitely, go see Peter Noone's show. He is funny, friendly, and genuinely personable. Mr. Noone is a true gentleman. We were amazed at how many teens and young adults seemed familiar with this music. Everyone, young and old, sang along, danced, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Also, catch the free Friday night oldies concerts held at the Boardwalk. These shows have great acts, are very family orientated, and did I mention they are free of charge. You will have to wait in line for a good seat. We arrived at 11:15 am for a 6:30 pm show and still had over 20 people ahead of us. This was a gigantic crowd. But great extras like allowing ice-chests and low lawn-chars, as well as, two different autograph sessions, makes this a must-revisit venue. FMD Check out the free summer band line-up.

Who you gonna run to? All your little life You're chasin' all the girls They can't resist your smile Uh-hmm, they long for Dandy, Dandy Chattin' up the ladies Ticklin' their fancy Pourin' out your charms To meet your own demands And you turn it off at will Huh-oh, they long for Dandy, Dandy Knockin' on the back door Climbin' through the window Hubby's gone away And while the cat's away The mice are gonna play Uh-hmm, you low-down Dandy, Dandy, Dandy Dandy, you know you're moving much too fast And Dandy, you know you can't escape the past Look around you and see the people settle down And when you're old and grey You will remember what they said That two girls are too many, Three's a crowd and four you're dead Oh Dandy, Dandy When you gonna give up? Are you feelin' old now? You always will be free And you need no sympathy A bachelor you will stay And Dandy you're all right You're all right You're all right Folsom Prison Blues I hear the train a comin' It's rolling round the bend And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when, I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Antone.. When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son, Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die When I hear that whistle blowing, I hang my head and cry.. I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars. Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free But those people keep a movin' And that's what tortures me... Well if they freed me from this prison, If that railroad train was mine I bet I'd move it on a little farther down the line Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
