Would You Like to Buy Some Flowers.
Chorus
Would you like to buy some flowers, sir I’m selling some of mine. I’ve got daisies for a nickel, sir, And roses for a dime. It don’t take a lot of money, Just to show someone you care. Would you like some pretty flowers, sir, Cause I’ve got some to spare.
One day I went out walking down, A busy city street. I had lots of things to do, And some important folks to meet, When I saw a little flower girl, Standing in the square, Singing out above the market, In the early morning air.
Repeat Chorus
Oh, I had to stop and listen, I just couldn’t walk on by. When I asked her where her mother was, She took me by surprise, And said, “Don’t think me a beggar, sir, For I have learned to choose, And I spread a little sunshine, Even tho I’ve got the blues.”

The Farmer’s Daughter.
Tonight there’ll be candlelight and roses, In this little country chapel that’s almost falling down. There’ll be tears in this old farmer’s eyes this evening, When I give my one possession to that city boy from town. His hair is a little longer than we’re use to, But, I guess I should find something good to say, About this man who’s won the farmer’s daughter, And will soon become my son-in-law today. Mama left eight years ago December, And it was hard to be a Dad and Mama too, But somehow we made home of this old farmhouse, And love was all my baby ever knew. He could be the richest man in seven counties, And not be good enough to take her hand, But, he says he really loves the farmer’s daughter, And I know the farmer’s daughter loves the man.

The Night Watch.
(God is keeping the night watch for you and for me).
Bright stars are watching the world as it sleeps, Shepherds watch over the little white sheep, The lighthouse is shining for ships far at sea, As God keeps the night watch for you and for me.
So sleep, sleep in peace and rest, Don’t be afraid of the darkness, All’s well for over the land and the sea, God’s keeping the night watch for you and for me.
(God is keeping the night watch for you and for me).
So sleep, sleep in peace and rest, Don’t be afraid of the darkness, All’s well for over the land and the sea, God’s keeping the night watch for you and for me.

Four Strong Winds.
Four strong winds that blow lonely, Seven seas that run high, All these things that won’t change come what may, But my good times are all gone, And I’m bound for moving on. I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way, I may go out to Alberta, Weather’s good there in the fall, Got some friends that I could go to workin’ for, Still I wish you’d change your mind. If I asked you one more time, But we’ve been through that a hundred times or more. If I get there before the snow flies, And things are going good, You could join me if I send you down the fare, But if you’ll wait until it’s winter, It would do no good, For the wind sure can blow cold way out there. Four strong winds that blow lonely, (Four strong winds that blow lonely), Seven seas that run high (that run high), All these things that won’t change come what may, (Change come what may) But my good times are all gone, And I’m bound for moving on. I’ll look for you if I’m ever back this way.
Lyrics and Vocals: American country music singer, songwriter and short-story author, the late Tom T. Hall (1936 – 2021), informally nicknamed “The Storyteller”.
Old Dogs, Children And Watermelon Wine.
“How old do you think I am?” he said. I said, “Well, I didn’t know”. He said, “I turned 65 about 11 months ago”. I was sittin’ in Miami pourin’ blended whiskey down, When this old gray black gentleman was cleanin’ up the lounge. There wasn’t anyone around, ‘cept this old man and me, The guy who ran the bar was watchin’ Ironsides on TV. Uninvited, he sat down and opened up his mind, On old dogs and children and watermelon wine. “Ever had a drink of watermelon wine?” he asked, He told me all about it, though I didn’t answer back. Ain’t but three things in this world that’s worth a solitary dime, But old dogs and children and watermelon wine. He said, “Women think about they-selves, when menfolk ain’t around, And friends are hard to find when they discover that you’re down”. He said, “I tried it all when I was young and in my natural prime, Now it’s old dogs and children and watermelon wine”. Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes, God bless little children while they’re still too young to hate. When he moved away, I found my pen and copied down that line, ‘Bout old dogs and children and watermelon wine. I had to catch a plane up to Atlanta that next day, As I left for my room, I saw him pickin’ up my change. That night I dreamed in peaceful sleep of shady summertime, Of old dogs and children and watermelon wine.
