F is the first letter we see
R is coming in secondly
O is coming in third
L is the fourth letter you heard
Then E before I might come as a surprise
But K and S round the word out fine
F-R-O-L-E-i-K-S
That's how you spell Froleiks

The Golden Vanity

Oh there was a lofty ship and she sailed on the sea
And the name of that ship it was the Golden Vanity
But she feared she would be taken by a Turkish enemy
As she sailed on the lowland lowland low
She sailed upon the lowland sea
Then up steps a cabin boy, just the age of twelve and three
And he says to the Skipper what will you give to me
If I swim alongside of your Turkish enemy
And I sink her in the lowland lowland low
I sink her in the lowland sea
Oh I will give you silver and I will give you gold
And the hand of my daughter if you will be so bold
As to swim alongside of the Turkish enemy
And to sink her in the lowland lowland low
To sink her in the lowland sea
Then the boy he made all ready and overboard jumped he
And he swam alongside of the Turkish enemy
And with his little drilling tool he boared holes three
And he sank her in the lowland lowland lowland
He sank her in the lowland sea
Then the boy he turned around and back again swam he
And he hollered for the Skipper to haul him from the sea
But the Skipper would not heed, for his daughter he did need
And he left him in the lowland lowland lowland
He left him in the lowland sea
Then the crew they hauled him out, but upon the deck he died
And they wrapped him in his blanket so very soft and wide
They cast him overboard to drift upon the tide
And he sank beneath the lowland lowland low
He sank beneath the lowland sea
Oh there is a lofty ship and she sails on the sea
But she sails without a cabin boy the age of twelve and three
And she fears she will be taken by a Turkish enemy
As she sails on the lowland lowland low
Sails on the lowland sea

Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can't have the girl I love
I don't want none at all
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
I wish I had a banjo string
Made of golden twine
Every tune I'd play on it
I wish that girl was mine
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
I wish I had a needle and thread
Fine as I could sew
I'd sew that pretty girl to my side
And down the road I'd go
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Some come here to fiddle and dance
Some come here to tarry
Some come here to fiddle and dance
I come here to marry
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove
Every night when I go home
Wife, I try to please her
The more I try, the worse she gets
Damned if I don't leave her
Shady Grove, my little love
Shady Grove, I know
Shady Grove, my little love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

Worried Man

It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
It takes a worried man
To sing a worried song
I'm worried now
But I won't be worried long
I went across the river
I lay down to sleep
I went across the river
I lay down to sleep
When I woke up
Had shackles on my feet
Twenty-one links
Of chain around my leg
Twenty-one links
Of chain around my leg
And on each link
'S an initial of my name
I asked that judge
What's gonna be my fine
I asked that judge
What's gonna be my fine
Twenty-one years
On the Rocky Mountain line
That train pulled out
Twenty-one coaches long
That train pulled out
Twenty-one coaches long
And the woman I love
Is on that train and gone
Twenty-one years
Pay my awful crime
Twenty-one years
Pay my awful crime
Tweny-one years
And I still got ninety-nine
