New York City women ain't no good Got bad mouths, don't treat you like they should Nasty lover, like no lady would New York City women ain't no good Wish I stayed back home in Leonardtown Watch Potomac River flows on down Loaded ship, tobacco by the pound Sail out to the Bay then England bound Oh, Mason-Dixon Line Tonight you're staying on my mind Oh, Mason-Dixon Line Tonight you're staying on my mind Down in Maryland where life is sweet Chicken necks, old line and crabs to eat Wade into the marsh get muddy feet Down in Maryland where life is sweet Oh, Mason-Dixon Line Tonight you're staying on my mind Oh, Mason-Dixon Line Tonight you're staying on my mind

Mama bring me water The Devil's at the door The flames of Hell are burning I'm shaken to my core I'm shaken to my core, ma Shaken to my core Won't you bring me water The Devil's at the door I wish I was in 'bama With my Dixie May I'd sing her songs of Cottonland All through the sunny day I'd sing her songs of Cottonland All through the sunny day Now the Devil's at the door And that's all I can say There ain't no time for prayers, ma God don't hear no more Hurry bring me water The Devil's at the door ________________________ Alt lyrics: Mama bring me water The Devil's at the door The hounds of Hell are howling I'm shaken to my core I'm shaken to my core, ma Shaken to my core Won't you bring me water The Devil's at the door I wish I was in 'bama With my Allie Mae I'd sing her songs of Dixieland All through the sunny day I'd sing her songs of Dixieland All through the sunny day Now the Devil's at the door And here is where I lay There ain't no time for prayers, ma God don't hear no more Hurry bring me water The Devil's at the door

Good Times 02:58
We will remember the good times We will not think of the sad We will remember the good times We will forget all the bad We will recall We will recall The good times...good times we had Let's all gather together Let's all try to be one Let's not plan out forever Let's just see this day done We will recall We will recall The good times...good times we had We will recall We will recall The good times...good times we had We had good times We had good times We had good times

I remember burning embers Flying through the sky Huge bonfire flames shot higher Then the moon could fly I will be back I'm on the right track I will be back I'm on the right track You were fun when in the sun Laying on the lawn Then came night, I held you tight In the field till dawn I will be back I'm on the right track I will be back I'm on the right track Summer lover blew my cover Where do these dreams end? When I'm better, mail a letter Your good wishes send I will be back I'm on the right track I will be back I'm on the right track

In Time 02:03
In Time Love can rebuild cities Crumbled in decline Love can bring back life In time Call upon your spirit Lift up your divine We can rise above ourselves In time Some say life's a circle Some say a straight line I believe we'll see it all in time I believe love will reign in time I believe we'll know it all in time I believe love will reign in time

Maryland, My Maryland (To the tune: "O Tannenbaum" ) By Sean Tully From rounded mountains highest crest, Maryland, my Maryland. To ocean beaches, we are blessed, Maryland, my Maryland. From city street to fertile farm, The Chesapeake's abundant charm, We pledge to shield you from all harm, Maryland, my Maryland. Where grand white oaks grow gracefully, Maryland, my Maryland. Where blue crabs swim so beautifully, Maryland, my Maryland. Where thoroughbreds graze rolling hills, Where Black-Eyed Susan simply thrills, Your nature awes, your bounty spills, Maryland, my Maryland. Through every season you enthrall, Maryland, my Maryland. Your loveliness inspires all, Maryland, my Maryland. You are the place our hearts will stay, You're where we live, learn, work, and play, And may it always be that way, Maryland, my Maryland. Our many paths have led us here, Maryland, my Maryland. Our valiant past we treasure dear, Maryland, my Maryland. You are the home to truly brave, When country called your children gave, Forever may your bold flag wave, Maryland, my Maryland. With faith and freedom tightly bound, Maryland, my Maryland. We've built today on solid ground, Maryland, my Maryland. Where equal rights are fair and just, And tyranny lies in the dust, Our liberties, our sacred trust, Maryland, my Maryland. With gentle words strong deeds are done, Maryland, my Maryland. The Old Line holds and stands as one, Maryland, my Maryland. Into the future we will stride With rich traditions as our guide, O!, know this Free State is our pride, Maryland, my Maryland. Copyright 2015 Sean Tully All Rights Reserved

Melody 02:40
Melody, you always make me smile as lovers do. Melody, no matter what I face you see me through. Funny how things in life go from up to down. Even our best laid plans seem to come unwound. Melody, you always have the perfect thing to say. Melody, you stick inside my mind throughout the day. Everybody knows a thing or two about some pain. Even when we feel the Sun we half expect the rain. Happy ever after is the way the story reads. Even if I lose the words I hum the melody. Melody, if Heaven is a place I know you're there. Melody, if now is all I have you share my cares.

Oh, speak the Irish tongue to me My sweet blue eyed lady Your hair is red, rolls like the sea That keeps me far from Tully Oh, oh Tell me tales about the land That's greener than all others I'll close my eyes as we hold hands You set my heart aflutter oh, oh I came to Boston long ago For many years have labored There is so little I can show This new world does no favors oh, oh So, speak the Irish tongue to me My sweet blue eyed lady Your hair is red, rolls like the sea That keeps me far from Tully Oh, oh Oh, speak the Irish tongue to me My sweet blue eyed lady Oh, oh Oh, speak the Irish tongue to me My sweet blue eyed lady Oh, oh

I'm going to stick with you my friend, I'm going to stick with you. I'm going to stick with you my friend, No matter what you do. You may strike it rich one day And I won't ask for a cent You may blow it all away And I won't ask where it went You may bat your pretty little eyes At every man on the street But you'll never hear my wounded cries That come from under the sheets

Driving Mulholland Down to the sea Following directions That you gave to me I brought the spirits The red and the white You look most beautiful I'm so glad I saw you tonight I'm so glad I saw you tonight Where does the time go? Why's it move so fast? One moment I am holding you The next you are my past But still you whisper softly At dawn this dream takes flight You look most beautiful I'm so glad I saw you tonight I'm so glad I saw you tonight I'm so glad I saw you tonight I'm so glad I saw you tonight I'm so glad I saw you tonight
