Homesick Hungarian Blues
Long road ahead
no home behind
got to stay alive
keep walking on.
Devil on my back
trying to break me down
got a whip to crack
keep walking on
Cold wind a blow
bad moon asrise
hear them mournful cries
and keep walking on.
Shoes wearing down
coat old and thin
sure it ain't a sin
to keep walking on
Running in the mountains
in the snow and the ice
'scaping in the winter
gotta look behind twice
with a loaf of bread
and a photograph
Find another home
build another life
far away from strife
keep walking on
learn to live today
never look behind
still a troubled mind
I keep walking on.
(Note: this song is about my uncle Gabor, who fled Hungary as a refugee, crossing the Carpathian Mtns.)

At least I have my Ukulele
Oh my cat is a drunk
and my dog ran away
the horses took off
with a bale of hay
I got fired from my job
kicked out of my home
the tavern was shut
now I'm here all alone
all alone, alone
but at least, I have my ukulele
I wandered the streets
got hassled by thugs
slept in a box
had to share with the bugs
oh the cops woke me up
they were movin' me on
so I wandered the town
all the night until dawn
alone, alone
but at least, I had my ukulele
Oh but then,
then I found the gypsy camp
they were dancin' around, dancin' around the fire
they were passing a bottle around
and singing a song
we have each other tonight
and that's enough
we have each other tonight
and that's enough
without each other tonight
we are nothing, nothing at all.
They sang me songs of their home
treated me as one of their own
told stories, told jokes and drank wine
read poems that never did rhyme
Then the cops came to chase us around
we ran through the streets of the town
they caught us and locked us away
oh they beat us through night and through day
I was alone, alone
when they took, away my ukulele
Alone in my cell
I gave up on hope
my soul it was hanging
from the end of a rope
in the cell next to mine
someone started to sing
I stood up on my feet
and then I joined in
in the cell next to mine
someone started to clap
I heard the guard moving
and I heard the click-clack
of a key in a lock...
then I heard the voice stop...
and then start up again...
Oh but then,
all our voices raising up
as they took him away
and put him in chains yeah
and as they dragged him from the room
we sang a song...
we have each other tonight
and that's enough
we have each other tonight
and that's enough
without each other tonight
we are nothing, nothing at all.

Song of the south
The sun sets behind clouds, i'm lost in the crowds
my name is lost to the wind
though I sing and I shout, my heart bleeds with doubt
and my courage is worn out and thin
then I look at the moon, like a flower in bloom
and the stars are the pollen of night
then I look at the trees, I converse with the breeze
and the birdsong is cheerful and bright
though the road stretches dark, a fire burns in my heart
its embers are words in my mouth
the promised dream, though never seen
dreams of me, living here in the south

Tambourine
(for Regan Gardener)
I will always remember you
with a tambourine in your hand
and a smile so bright it ended the war
the wave of your skirt
is a spring breeze, blowing cares
like cotton on the wind
I will always remeber them
that tribe of women who wear your smile
who dance because you dance
whose joy is your joy
whose laughter ended the war
when the generals came to town.
I have seen you
wear the crown
of a queen
I have seen
your feet dirty from the street
and when you dance
the world it spins for you.
I will always remember you
with a tambourine in your hand
and a smile so bright it ended the war
