It Came Upon A Midnight Clear is a Christmas Carol but no reason why we can`t sing it all year round. I play it on acoustic guitar with vocals. It came upon a midnight clear lyrics performed by Dan D. Dirges It came upon a midnight clear That glorious song of old From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold Peace on the earth, good will to men From heaven's all gracious King The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing Still through the cloven skies they come With peaceful wings unfurled, And still their heavenly music floats O'er all the weary world Above its sad and lowly plains They bend on hovering wing; And ever o'er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. O ye, beneath life's crushing load Whose forms are bending low, Who toil along the climbing way With painful steps and slow Look now! for glad and golden hours Come swiftly on the wing; and rest beside the weary road to hear the angels sing. For lo the hour is hastening on, by prophets seen of old. When with the every circling years, shall come a time for-told. When the new Heaven and earth shall own, the prince of peace their king. And the whole world send back the song which now the angels sing. 2x. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWlKuOWI5aY

Wagoner`s Lad is an old folk song and one of my favorites. In the old days Women didnt have much choice for a profession. They could either be a saloon girl or a housewife, wasnt much else and they had to have their parents blessing before getting married. A wagoner didnt pay all that well so her parents didnt want her to marry him. I`ve done it on banjo, this is a fingerpicking guitar version. Wagoner`s Lad, Traditional Folk Song, Lyrics, Folk, Love song Wagoner's Lad - traditional folk song -lyrics performed by Dan D. Dirges Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind They're always controlled, they're always confined Controlled by their parents until they are wives Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives She is a poor girl, her fortune is sad She`s always been courted by the wagoner's lad he courted her daily, by night and by day And now he is loaded and going away Your parents don't like me because I am poor They say I'm not worthy to enter your door I work for my living, my money's my own And if they don't like me they can leave me alone Your horses are hungry, go feed them some hay Come sit down beside me as long as you may My horses ain't hungry, they won't eat your hay So fare thee well darling, I'll be on my way Your wagon needs greasing, your whip is to mend Come here down beside me as long as you can My wagon is greasy, my whip's in my hand So fare thee well darling, I'll no longer stand Oh hard is the fortune of all womankind They're always controlled, they're always confined Controlled by their parents until they are wives Then slaves to their husbands the rest of their lives ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2II89_C3Kd0
