Gallows Pole

Posted on August 11, 2014March 17, 2019 by admin

“The Maid Freed from the Gallows” is one of many titles of a centuries-old folk song about a condemned maiden pleading for someone to buy her freedom from the executioner. It was recorded in 1939 as “The Gallis Pole” by folk singer Huddie “Lead Belly” Ledbetter, but the most famous version was the 1970 arrangement of the Fred Gerlach version by English rock band Led Zeppelin, which was titled “Gallows Pole” on the album Led Zeppelin III.

Going To California

Going To California / Brain Damage.mp3

Going To California.mp3

G
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
                                   D
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to California with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me there's a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

F   G   D  x 2

G    
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
                                                                              D
Never let them tell you that they're all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.

Dm
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
                     A7  A
I think I might be sinking.
Dm
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
                  A7  A
Runs straight and high.

G 
To find a queen without a king;
                                                                             D
They say she plays guitar and cries as she sings.
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin' to find a woman who's never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.
F   G   D  x 2

Did the sun go up and down
Or are we spinin’ ’round n’ ’round?

Simplicity of relativity
Once in position to see

Am I under the sun
AM I under the gun
Am I over it yet
How could I ever forget?

Hey, well, ya wanted to know
Hey, well, ya wanted to know
So…
Do tell I did
My guts spilled… spilt
Who’ll do your bid
Don’t let it wilt
Put it to bed
From build to built

Hey, well, ya wanted to know
Hey, well, so here I go
So…
Parted my lips
Let the words spill… ’till
Meaning’s more than blips
Who’ll pay your bill
Meaning come to grips
Prophecy fulfill

Indigenous Songwriting at the Lenape Indian Village

LYRICS
I guess we’ve gotta go
Against the river’s flow
The settlers have settled on a settlement

Chorus
By settlement I mean they’re mean
From the genocide we must hide
Hide in Her spirit’s hide

Chorus

They’ll cut us down you know
Bullet versus bow
What are they thinkin’ over the color of skin?

Chorus

Since we wouldn’t behave
As their slave
Over our land… their rag… their flag

As far as I can see
There’s more than me
To be true
Ya gotta be you

If ya wanna be free

Ya gotta be you

Eating the little sheep
Pigs feast on the lamb scam

Dance on top of the flowers
Skating over the surface
Soaking in all the hours
With a soul and a face
Take in a love embrace

Lighting the Earth’s surface
Soaking in all the our’s
Adding soul to the face
Take in a love embrace

Take-in a love embrace
Taking a love embrace

We’re living here quite happily
Don’t you cry for me
No, no sense feeling pity
Don’t you cry for me

Oh no please don’t be sad
I love the days we’ve had
Oh yes please do be glad
This life ain’t half bad

Oh no please don’t be mad
I love the ways of fad
Oh yes seize the moment
That the Lord for movement

LYRICS
Unfortunately,
Found in the thick of sick

Does your head hang heavy
Thick as a brick?

… in the thick of sick
Found in the thick of sick
Come ’round

Quick,
Let’s get you out of there…
Fortunately

A ground swell of well
A well of goodwill
Well, good
Freewill
Until
The End

LYRICS
Live from KingArthur.com with an important public service announcement:

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you fine citizens out there in TV-land…
Don’t forget to tip the bartender
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses

I’d like to tip the waitresses
… I’d like to tip the waitresseses
For making us tipsy
A tip for making us tipsy

If you just showed up
Raise a cup
Here’s what’s up
Don’t forget to tip the waitresseses
A tip for getting us tipsy

Now, I think I’ll walk home….
Maybe… if it’s not an inconvenience I’ll just sleep on your couch. I could sleep on the floor… you don’t need to worry… I’ll lock the door… on my out.
I could lock up?

Raise a cup
A tip to the waitresses

Don’t forget the bartender
Yeah, that’s a hard job… listening to all of our wine… ya know… we go into such detail… blah, blah, blah….
