Up From the Grave He Arose | Hymn (w. Robert Lowry)
Happy Resurrection Day! It's a question that all who call themselves by His Name should ask: does Jesus Spirit dwell in me? If the answer is "Yes," then you can be sure that you will be raised in the resurrection of the dead to life, just as Jesus was raised from the dead! Romans 8:11-12 11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you. 1 Low in the grave He lay— Jesus my Savior! Waiting the coming day— Jesus my Lord! CHORUS Up from the grave He arose, With a mighty triumph o’er His foes He arose a Victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! 2 Vainly they watch His bed— Jesus, my Savior! Vainly they seal the dead— Jesus my Lord! 3 Death cannot keep his prey— Jesus, my Savior! He tore the bars away— Jesus my Lord! Written by Robert Lowry #Jesus #resurrection #hymn

Support Nina on Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/ninariccimusic The Ways of Man Written by Gordon Bok Verse 1 The ways of man are passing strange He buys his freedom and he counts his change Then he lets the wind his days arrange And he calls the tide his master Repeat Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Verse 2 But the days grow short and the year gets old And the fish won’t stay where the water’s cold And if they’re going to fill the hold They’ve got to go off shore to find them Repeat Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Verse 3 So they go outside on the raven deep And they pray the Lord their soul to keep But the waves will roll them all to sleep And the tide will be their keeper Repeat Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Secondary Chorus Ah the the tide, ah the tide Ah ye dark and ye bitter tide If I can’t have him by my side I guess I have to leave him Repeat Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Verse 4 I gave you 1, I gave ya 2 The best that rotten ole boat could do You won’t be happy till I give ya 3 Well, you must not care a lot for me (lyrical edit) Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Secondary Chorus Ah the the tide, ah the tide Ah ye dark and ye bitter tide If I can’t have him by my side The water’s welcome to him Repeat Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Verse 5 Ah, Lord, I know that the day will come When one less boat comes sloggin’ home I don’t mind knowing that he’ll be the one But I can’t spend my whole life praying Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Verse 6 I gave you 1, I gave ya 2 The best that poor ole boat could do You’d have it all before you’re through Well, I’ve got no more to give you Primary Chorus Ah the days, ah the days, Ah the fine long summer days The fish come rolling in the bays And he swore he’d never leave me Wrap-around Verse The ways of man are passing strange He buys his freedom and he counts his change Then he lets the wind his days arrange And he calls the tide his master #bokmuirtrickett #smithsonianfolkways #folksong

All Around My Hat - Nina Ricci (English Folk Song)
I learned this song from a gal on YouTube called @TrishsFolk Her rendition was so endearing and I loved the song so much that I set my mind on learning it. She mentioned that Steeleye Span is credited for the song and I did a little research and found out that it's actually a combination of 2 English songs called "All Around My Hat" and one called "Farewell He." All around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love who's far, far away Fare thee well cold winter and fare thee well cold frost Nothing have I gained but my own true love I've lost I'll sing and I'll be merry when occasion I do see He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he The other night he brought me a fine diamond ring But he thought to have deprived me of a far better thing But I being careful like lovers ought to be He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he And all around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love who's far, far away Here's a half a pound of reasons, and a quarter pound of sense A small sprig of time and as much of prudence You mix them all together and you will plainly see He's a false deluding young man, let him go farewell he And all around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love who's far far away All around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love who's far, far away All around my hat I will wear the green willow And all around my hat for a twelve-month and a day And if anyone should ask me the reason why I'm wearing it It's all for my true love who's far, far away #allaroundmyhat #steeleyespan

The Man in the Moon - Nina Ricci (English Traditional Song)
If you are at the end of a tavern gig with no songs left in your repertoire and someone comes up and adjures you to “PLAY ONE MORE SONG!”… if this is the song you come with off the top of your head, then it’s what you call a “humdinger!” It is thanks to an English folk band called “The Full English” that I learned this delightful song. TIP NINA via Venmo - @NinafromNashville Or PayPal - https://paypal.me/NinaRicciMusic?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US Website: https://www.ninariccimusic.com Man in the Moon [ Roud 21397 ; VWML AW/5/112 ; Wiltshire 377 ; Mudcat 143062 , 153174 ; trad.] When a bumper is filled, it is vexing, no doubt, To find when you rise that the wine has run out; And sure it's an equally unpleasant thing To be asked for a song when you've naught left to sing. I could sing something old, if an old one would do, But the world it is craving to have something new. But what to select for the words or the tune? I, in fact, know no more than the Man in the Moon. Chorus (after each verse): The Man in the Moon a new light on us throws, He's a man we all talk of but nobody knows. And though a high subject, I'm getting in tune, I'll just sing a song for the Man in the Moon. 'Tis said that some people are moonstruck, we find, But the Man in the Moon must be out of his mind. But it can't be for love for he's quite on his own, No ladies to meet him by moonlight alone. It can't be ambition, for rivals he's none, At least he is only eclipsed by the sun, But when drinking, I say, he is seldom surpassed, For he always looks best when he's seen through a glass. The Man in the Moon he must lead a queer life, With no one around him, not even a wife, No friends to console him, no children to kiss, No chance of his joining a party like this. But he's used to high life, for each all circles agree, That none move in such a high circle as he, And though nobles go up in their royal balloon, They're not introduced to the Man in the Moon. #englishfolk #tavernmusic #maninthemoon #folkmusic #tradmusic

Carter My bark of life was tossing down The troubled stream of time Since first I saw your smiling face And youth was in its prime Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You've been that friend to me Misfortune nursed me as her child And loved me fondly too I would have had a broken heart Had it not been for you Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You've been that friend to me As I look back upon the past Across life's troubled sea I smile to think in all I've seen You've been a friend to me Oh, I'll ne'er forget where e'er I roam Where ever you may be If ever I have had a friend You've been that friend to me Nina Ricci is endorsed by Deering Banjo Company #carterfamily #singer

I'll Tell Me Ma (The Dubliners) cover Nina Ricci
I’ll Tell Me Ma (The Dubliners) cover You’ll hear me singing this “bop” out on the street in Gatlinburg! Lyrics: I'll tell me ma, when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone Pulled me hair, stolen me comb But that's alright, till I go home She is handsome, she is pretty She is the belle of Dublin city She is a-courting one, two, three Pray, want you tell me who is she? Albert Mooney says he loves her All the boys are fightin' for her Knock at the door, they're ringin' the bell Say, "Hello, my true love are you well?" Out she comes white as snow Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes Ol' Jenny Murray says she'll die If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye I'll tell me ma, when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone Pulled me hair, stolen me comb But that's alright, till I go home She is handsome, she is pretty She is the belle of Dublin city She is a-courting one, two, three Pray, want you tell me who is she? Let the wind and the rain and the hail blow high And the snow come travelin' through the sky She's as sweet as apple pie She'll get her own right by and by When she gets a lad of her own She won't tell her ma when she gets home Let them all come as they will It's Albert Mooney she loves still I'll tell me ma, when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone Pulled me hair, stolen me comb But that's alright till I get home She is handsome, she is pretty She is the belle of Dublin city She is a-courting one, two, three Pray, want you tell me who is she? Albert Mooney says he loves her All the boys are fightin' for her Knock at the door, they're ringin' the bell Say, "Hello, me true love are you well?" Out she comes white as snow Rings on her fingers, bells on her toes Ol' Jenny Murray says she'll die If she doesn't get the fellow with the roving eye I'll tell me ma, when I go home The boys won't leave the girls alone Pulled me hair, stolen me comb But that's alright till I get home She is handsome, she is pretty She is the belle of Dublin city She is a-courting one, two, three Pray, want you tell me who is she? #ireland #thedubliners #IllTellMeMa
