Cover the ground all over with smoke, Can't you pitty kitty kime-oh? Then all their heads around they poke, Can't you pitty kitty kime-oh! He could dance, he could sing, Can't you mitty kitty sing so? Make the woods around him ring, Please you mitty kitty sing song doh! Kemo, kimo there oh where? With my hi, my ho, can't you sing in Sally? Some-time penny-winkle lingtum nipcat, Sing song kitty can't you kime-oh?! Tiong ting ticky dong plant the tow, Could you ticky ticky let me go?!

THE COLORADO TRAIL 1. Eyes like the morning star, cheeks like a rose, Laura was a pretty girl, God almighty knows. Weep, all ye little rains, wail, winds wail All along, along, along the Colorado trail. 2. Stars fading up above, lark starts to sing, Sky is rosy in the east: what will this day bring? Weep, all ye little rains, wail, winds wail All along, along, along the Colorado trail. 3. Face like a prairie flower, laughing all the way, Laura was a pretty girl, now she's gone away. Weep, all ye little rains, wail, winds wail All along, along, along the Colorado trail.

JOHNNY GUITAR With their drums and guns and guns and drums, (hooroo, hooroo), Oh when first you went to carry a gun, (hooroo, hooroo), Johnny I hardly knew ye! Where are the legs you used to run? Why have you run? Oh, Johnny! Where are your eyes that looked so mild? Why, my dear, you look so queer, Johnny my darling dear, Johnny I hardly knew ye, My dear Johnny Guitar! Why did you run from home? Why did you run from me? Why did you run from me and the child? Johnny my darling dear, Your dancing days are gone for good, It grieved my heart to see, My darling Johnny Guitar!
