Reilly Girl - c.g.cooper 1980 (or so)
Mama, Mama, you and Pa are gonna be the first to know
Marge and I’ve made up our minds we’re gonna give it all a go
You know pa thinks the Reillys are the finest folks around
And Marge must be the prettiest girl in all of Norristown
Cho.
My ramblin’ days are through ma, my hearts all in a whirl
My dreams are coming true Ma, I’m marrying…
… the Reilly girl
Her mother takes in laundry, she’s worked all her days
Maggie Callahan has helped her see the kids get raised
Her father’s dead, God rest his soul, so I’ve asked her mom for her hand
I’ll take what I saved from the WPA and buy her a wedding band. (Cho)
Bridge:
I’m working at the gas plant with a big enough salary
We’ll have a girl named after her and a boy named after me. (Cho)

Two Fires Burning
c.g.cooper
There’re two fires burning bright on the horizon
They’ve been burning there for many a darkened year
Burning on through many an Indian mother’s heartache
On through many an Irish mother’s tears
As our sons and our daughtes have been taken
When their peoples’ freedom they did stand
When the British came to force upon us their ways
When America did rob you of your land
Cho.
‘Tiocfaidh ár lá’ say the I.R.A.
‘Hoka hey!’ say the warriors of the Sioux
Both peoples’ council fires burn into the night
As the common fight for freedom binds us two
My father’s father worked the fields of Ireland
While yours lived on the sweet Dakota plain
We’ve been bound together by the years of suffering,
Centuries of poverty and pain
But James Connelly’s spireit still is strong in Belfast
Crazy Horse inspires Wounded Knee
If our children are ere to live in freedom…
… then warriors and rebels we must be. (cho.)
---------------------------------------------------------
‘Tiocfaidh ár lá’ Irish for ‘We will have our day’
‘Hoka hey!’ Lakota for ‘Let’s go”

Forward Is the motion. Through each weary mile
The American Indian Movement’s been with me all the while
Forward is the motion, won’t you walk with me?

Water is sacred, water is life
We stand with Standing Rock; we carry on the fight.
We speak in English, we speak in Español
In colonizers’ language we pray to save our souls
My ancestors spoke Irish, that was forbidden too
Warriors of all nations have come to stand with you

Wissahickon
Music: Richard Drueding
Lyrics: c.g.cooper
The Wissahickon’s flowed through so many seasons
So many years that I’ve seen
Past the Pool of the Devil, the Drive Forbidden
And oh the Valley So Green
When the rains would be heavy the creek would rise
Flowing to the Schuylkill so strong
Whether it was raging or gently flowing
It would make me want to flow along
Seeking refuge from the city,
Trees my shelter, sky my roof
What’s to loose, except my blues
‘Cause my shoes are waterproof!
I’ve loved our walks through the Wissahickon
I’ll love them till my days are done
You had your painting, I had my music,
Together we had a fine son.
Never was rich nor famous
Never was a big star
Had no money, but I had you honey
And that was better by far.
