Mosé salió de Misrayim, huyendo del rey Paró Fuese derecho a Midian, encontróse con Yitro Dió le así por la su hija, porqu'era temiente de Dio Mosé pasaba el ganado que su suegro le entrego Y al pasando su ganado, al monte de Horeb llego Asientóse en una piedra, esperando ver al Dio Oió una voz que decia, "Mosé, Mosé mi sirvo, Descalza de tus zapatos, qu'en lugar santo estas tu." "Vete derecho a Misrayim, dile al rey Paró Que te entregue a mi pueblo, a mi pueblo Hebreo "Y si no te lo entregaré, castigarle quiero yo Con diez plagas que le mande, pa' que sepa quien soy yo." Hodu l'Adonai ki tov, ki leolam chasdo Alabado sea su nombre, por que siempre bien nos dó

In the Tower of London, large as life the ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, they declare For Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife until he had the axe-man bob her hair Ah yes, he done her wrong long years ago And she comes back each night to tell him so Chorus: With her head tucked underneath her arm she walks the bloody tower. With her head tucked underneath her arm at the midnight hour. She's gonna find King Henry, she's giving him what for Gadzooks she's gonna tell him off for having spilled her gore And just in case the axe-man wants to give her an encore She's got her head tucked underneath her arm Chorus Along the drafty corridors, for miles and miles she goes She sometimes catches cold, poor dear, it's chilly when it blows And it's awfully awkward for the queen when she has to blow her nose With her head tucked underneath her arm Chorus Now sometimes old King Henry throws a spread For all his pals and gals, the ghostly crew The axe-man carves the joints and cuts the bread When in walks Anne Boleyn to spoil the do She holds her head up with a wild war whoop And Henry cries, "Don't drop it in the soup!" Chorus One day she found King Henry, and he was in the castle bar And he said, "Are you Jane Seymour, Anne Boleyn, or Catherine Parr? "Well how the heck am I supposed to figure who you are, "When you've got your head tucked underneath your arm?" Chorus (2x)

Whirly Whorl 06:33
Oh the very first wedding I's bridesmaid at was on a Saturday There was plenty of lively fun and likewise sporting and play The bells were rung and us girls we sung and it's to the church we went all And the bride's off to bed with the silly old groom to play at the whirly whorl Well first she modestly turned her back, and then she turned her front And long she wished for kindliness, but kindness she got none At last she took him all in her arms and threw him against the wall Saying "Are you there, you silly old devil, you've lost your whirly whorl." "Oh, woe be to my mother," she said, "she's done to me much ill, She's married me to this silly old devil, it's all against my will But I'll dress myself in my coat of green, my feathery bonnet and all I'll find a young man all of my own to play at the whirly whorl."

When Britain really ruled the waves-- (In good Queen Bess's time) The House of Peers made no pretence To intellectual eminence, Or scholarship sublime; Yet Britain won her proudest bays In good Queen Bess's glorious days! Yes, Britain won … CHORUS: Yes, Britain won … When Wellington thrashed Bonaparte, As every child can tell, The House of Peers, throughout the war, Did nothing in particular, And did it very well: Yet Britain set the world ablaze In good King George's glorious days! Yes, Britain set … CHORUS: Yes, Britain set … And while the House of Peers withholds Its legislative hand, And noble statesmen do not itch To interfere with matters which They do not understand, As bright will shine Great Britain's rays As in King George's glorious days! As bright … CHORUS: As bright …

Fahren Mit der SBB (German) Wir fahren mit der SBB ins grüner land hinein, und wer nicht mit uns reisen will der bleibe schön daheim. Der blaue himmel lacht dazu vom Rhein- zum Rhonestrand. Wir fahren mit der SBB im schönen Schweizerland. Sind wir am Ziele angelangt so wandern wir die Höh'n, und singen "Lieber Schweizerland, wie bist du doch so schön!" Dann kehren fröhlich wir zurück, gebräunt vom sonnenschein, und fahren mit der SBB gemütlich wieder heim. Mr faare mit dr SBB (Swiss) Mr faare mit dr SBB do simmer nit ellei und war nit mit ys faare wott da blybt halt denn dehei dr blaui Himmel lacht derzu-e fom Rhy zum Rhone-schtrand mr faare mit dr SBB im schöne Schvyzerland Und simmer denn am Zyl aako fo nöcher oder färn do singe mr lieb Schvyzerland, wie hämmer di so gärn! Am Oobe goots den frölig zrugg, dr Dag isch brächtig xii mr faare mit dr SBB und laaden euch au y! Riding on the SBB We're riding on the SBB [Swiss National Railway] Throughout the lush countryside, and whomever doesn't wish to come along can jolly well stay home. The blue sky laughs along with us from the Rhine to the Rhone. We're riding on the SBB in beautiful Switzerland. When we arrive at our destination we wander through the heights, singing "Beloved Switzerland, how beautiful thou art!" Then merrily we return, tanned from the sun, and ride again safely and comfortably on the SBB back home.

It is talked the world all over, The king's daughter goes with child to her brother. Go down to the broom no more. He's brought his sister to the deer park, Brought his bow and arrows fast to his back. Go down … She said: "When you hear me loudly cry, Shoot your arrow and there let me lie." "And when you see I am lying dead, Bury me with a turf at my head." Now when he heard his sister cry His silver arrow he did let fly. He's dug a grave that was long and deep, And buried his sister with her babe at her feet. When he came to his father's hall There were music and minstrels and dancing and all. "Son, oh son, what makes you so sad? At such a meeting you might be glad." "Father, oh father, I've lost a knife I loved as dear as I loved my life." "And I have lost a finer thing, I lost the sheath that the knife was in." "Hold your tongue and make no din. I'll buy you a sheath and a knife therein." "All the ships e'er sailed the sea Won't bring such sheath and a knife to me."

Por la tu puerta yo pasi Te vide asentada La yavedura yo bezi Komo bezar tu kara Aman, aman, gül pembe, gül pembe Nebu yuzelik sende No te nigez ke te bezi Te tengo y abrasado Komo'l dukado en el sarraf Te tengo kulaneado Aman, aman… Ojos pretoz tienes tu Por los mavis me muero Kwando veyo los vedroliz Kavo foya y m'enterro Aman, aman… [I Passed By Your Door] I passed by your door. I found you seated. I kissed the lock As if it were your face. Oh pink rose, How beautiful you are. Don't deny that I've kissed you, Or even that I've embraced you. I hold you as close to me As the banker holds his coin. Your eyes are black, For blue ones, I die. When I see green ones, I bury myself totally.

You asked for it, and here it is: the new live Broadside album! In December 2001 we recorded a special concert at the Allens Lane Arts Center in Philadelphia. We played long, we played hard, and we had a lot of fun - and the best performances went onto this disc. A tasty mix of new material and reinvented favorites recorded before an enthusiastic audience. Also available on CD (CS 1708D).

This album might not be quite what you'd expect from a Broadside Electric live album. Some of these pieces are new. Others we have played for years, but have never committed to disc. We decided not to record some of the songs from our last album, With Teeth, because while they're important in our repertoire, we didn't want to revisit them so soon - it seemed redundant. Partly because of that decision, this is the least "trad" of all our albums in terms of material. Still, if you attended a Broadside concert in 2001, you probably heard a lot of the pieces recorded here, and we've loved playing them. Press play, and read on...
