I don't know about tomorrow; I just live from day to day. I don't borrow from it's sunshine For it's skies may turn to grey. I don't worry o'er the future, For I know what Jesus said. And today I'll walk beside Him, For He knows what is ahead.
Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand.
I don't know about tomorrow; It may bring me poverty. But the one who feeds the sparrow, Is the one who stands by me. And the path that is my portion May be through the flame or flood; But His presence goes before me And I'm covered with His blood.
Many things about tomorrow I don't seem to understand But I know who holds tomorrow And I know who holds my hand.

This song, King of the road, the simplified sheet music can be downloaded here. "King of the Road" is a song written by country singer Roger Miller, who first recorded it in November 1964.
The lyrics tell of the day-to-day life of a vagabond hobo who, despite being poor (a "man of means by no means"), revels in his freedom, describing himself humorously or possibly cynically as the "king of the road".Miller performed at the Snake River Stampede in Nampa back in 1972. Boise broadcast historian Frank Aden remembers it well. “He came out on stage and, before he sang, he said, 'For any of those who are here from Boise, you'll be proud to know that I wrote King of the Road in Boise.
The popular crossover record hit No. 1 on the US Country chart,[3] No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and No. 1 on the Easy Listening surveys.[4] It was also No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart,[5] and in Norway. Miller recalled that the song was inspired when he was driving and saw a sign on the side of a barn that read, "Trailers for sale or rent".[6] This would become the opening line of the song.
Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road
Third boxcar, midnight train, destination Bangor, Maine Old worn-out suits and shoes I don't pay no union dues I smoke old stogies I have found, short, but not too big around I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road
I know every engineer on every train All their children, and all of their names And every hand out in every town And every lock that ain't locked when no one's around
I sing, trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room I'm a man of means by no means, king of the road
Trailers for sale or rent, rooms to let, fifty cents No phone, no pool, no pets, I ain't got no cigarettes Ah, but, two hours of pushin' broom Buys an eight by twelve four-bit room

[Verse 1]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
There's a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
[Chorus]
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me
[Verse 2]
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh why can't I?
[Outro]
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can't I?

Zum Gali Gali (Hebrew: זום גלי גלי) is an Israelifolk song associated with the Kibbutz, Israel's collective agricultural communities. The song is sometimes referred to by the title Israeli Work Song and is known for its rhythmic style. The song begins with the repeated refrain ("zum gali gali") before proceeding to the verses.[1] The repeated refrain itself is a nonsensical verse,[2] and has no direct translation into English.
The exact origins and authorship of Zum Gali Gali is unknown. While the song is associated with the Kibbutz Mishmar HaEmek it is possible that it was composed elsewhere. It may have first been performed as part of a play. The first publication of the song was in 1939 by the Hebrew Publishing Company (NY, USA), indicating it was popular among American Jews at the time. Subsequent publications, such as a 1948 recording by Meir Lokitz, recorded as part of The Stonehill Collection: Recording of Holocaust survivors and Jewish immigrants to the United States, contains alternate verses with the standard refrain. The song was first performed in a non-Jewish context by the German instrumentalist Bert Kaempfert.

Early one morning, Just as the sun was rising, I heard a young maid sing, In the valley below.
CHORUS: Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so?
Remember the vows, That you made to your Mary, Remember the bow'r, Where you vowed to be true,
Chorus
Oh Gay is the garland, And fresh are the roses, I've culled from the garden, To place upon thy brow.
Chorus
Thus sang the poor maiden, Her sorrows bewailing, Thus sang the poor maid, In the valley below.
Chorus
Another version:
Early one morning just as the sun was rising, I heard a young maid sing in the valley below.
Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so?
Remember the vows that you made to me truly, Remember how tenderly you nestled close to me.
Gay is the garland fresh are the roses I've culled from the garden to bind over thee.
Here I now wander alone as I wonder Why did you leave me to sigh and complain.
I ask of the roses why should I be forsaken, Why must I here in sorrow remain?
Through yonder grove by the spring that is running, There you and I have so merrily played, Kissing and courting and gently sporting, Oh, my innocent heart you've betrayed.
Soon you will meet with another pretty maiden, Some pretty maiden, you'll court her for a while.
Thus ever ranging turning and changing, Always seeking for a girl that is new.
Thus sung the maiden, her sorrows bewailing Thus sung the maid in the valley below
Oh, don't deceive me, Oh, never leave me, How could you use A poor maiden so?

Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein, Schäfchen ruh'n und Vögelein, Garten und Wiese verstummt, auch nicht ein Bienchen mehr summt, Luna mit silbernem Schein gucket zum Fenster herein, schlafe bei silbernem Schein, schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein!
Auch in dem Schlosse schon liegt alles in Schlummer gewiegt, reget kein Mäuschen sich mehr, Keller und Küche sind leer, nur in der Zofe Gemach tönet ein schmachtendes Ach! Was für ein Ach mag das sein? Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein!
Wer ist beglückter als du? Nichts als Vergnügen und Ruh'! Spielwerk und Zucker vollauf und noch Karossen im Lauf, Alles besorgt und bereit, dass nur mein Prinzchen nicht schreit. Was wird da künftig erst sein? Schlafe, mein Prinzchen, schlaf' ein, schlaf ein, schlaf ein![3]
Sleep, my little prince, sleep, The sheep and the birdies rest, The garden and the meadow are quiet, Not even a little bee buzzes anymore. Luna, with a silverly glow Looks in through the window, Sleep by the silvery glow, Sleep, my little prince, sleep, Sleep, sleep!
By now, all are in bed in the castle, All lulled into a slumber, No more mice stir, The basement and kitchen are empty. Only in the maid's chambers There sounds a languishing sigh! What might this sigh be for? Sleep, my little prince, sleep, Sleep, sleep!
Who is happier than you? Nothing but pleasure and peace! All trinkets and sugar, And a trotting stage-coach. Everyone's anxious and ready That my little prince will just not cry. But what will the future bring? Sleep, my little prince, sleep, Sleep, sleep![4]
