Yonder Come Day

Yonder Come Day Lyrics arr. Judith Cook Tucker

Part II

Yonder come day, day is a breakin’,

Yonder come day, oh my soul.

Yonder come day, day is a breakin’,

Sun is a risin’ in my soul.

Part I

Sun rise, sun rise, oh yonder

sun rise. Sun is a risin’ in my soul.

Part III

Yonder, yonder,

yonder, yonder.

Yonder, yonder,

Sun is a risin’ in my soul. (Oh well-a)

Spoken part I

Trees are green and the air is sweet.

The good earth is singin’ underneath my feet.

I’ll point my feet down that freedom line.

Walkin’ that road I’m feelin’ fine, Yeah!

Spoken part II

Walk that road.

La Paloma Se Fue

The Dove that Flew Away arr. Alejandro Jimenez

¿Señores no han visto la Paloma que voló del palomar?

Se fue la Paloma, se fue la Paloma, se fue para no volver.

Has anyone seen him? The dove that flew away and left his home.

He’s gone, la Paloma se fue, he’s gone, la Paloma se fue, he’s gone, never to return.

He’s gone, la paloma, he’s gone, la paloma, he’s gone, never to return.
