Southern Moon by Derek Hoke Long is the green grass Tall are the pines How I miss the way you feel In these arms of mine Gotta let you know Don't want to let you go Sweet is the honey Soft is the rain Can you hear me calling Calling out your name Gotta let you know Don't want to let you go [Chorus:] I need some cool, cool water And some warm sunshine Give me your lightning in a bottle And some homemade wine I'd take that long road to Memphis If it brings me back to you So shine on, southern moon Deep is the river And lonely are the nights I can't have you with me I need you by my side Gotta let you know I'll never let you go [Chorus x2]

Bonnie & Clyde © Hal Brolund 2012 I like it when we're driving with the top let down All the wind in our hair, blowing all around Living on the edge, reckless and wild We'll run from the law like Bonnie & Clyde We'll take it to a hundred at the quarter mile Run like the devil for the county line Outlaws of love is the game we'll play And they're not gonna catch us today We're Bonnie & Clyde The old folks say “it just ain't right. That boys a little reckless, the girls a little wild” They don't understand Bonnie & Clyde Outlaws of love we're the luckiest kind I know what you're thinking about that night Those two met their end in a hell of fight Livin' fast and free has got it's price But let me tell you honey it's a hell of a ride When you're Bonnie & Clyde If I had to steal one kiss I would want it just like this Soft and wet, reckless and wild Like Bonnie & Clyde I like it when we're driving with the top let down All the wind in our hair, blowing all around Living on the edge, reckless and wild We'll run from the law like Bonnie & Clyde We'll take it to a hundred at the quarter mile Run like the devil for the county line Outlaws of love is the game we'll play And they're not gonna catch us today We're Bonnie & Clyde We're Bonnie & Clyde We're Bonnie & Clyde We're Bonnie & Clyde

All Around The World © Hal Brolund 2010 I've been all around the world looking for you (2x) I've been all around the world, looking for the pretty girl I've been all around the World looking for you. I know all the roads from here to china (2x) I know all the roads, I've been carrying such a heavy load I've been all around the world looking for you Since you left me baby I've been broken down and blue (2x) Since you went away there's not a damn thing left to say I've been all around the world looking for you solo Every woman I meet looks just like you (2x) I get me a voodoo priest if that devil will set me free I've been all around the world looking for you

Learned Pigs And Fireproof Women © Hal Brolund (SOCAN) 2011 When the carnival came to this rural town Every fool wants to lay his money down We got a ferris wheel, games of chance A tunnel of love for pure romance Men will believe in what they see If you put it on a poster, they will believe Everybody wants to hear the bearded lady sing This side show has everything (We got) (chorus) Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women Everybody'd pay a dollar to see em' We got a piece of the one true cross We got the bones of the union boss Jakeleg Chester and Bootleg Sam Were working at the carnival and they had a plan Saturday night when the tent was full They were gonna rob this carnival They would grab the cash and jump the train Never come back to this town again Hide in the bushes until they hear the bell Grab the cash and run like hell (from the) (Chorus) The bearded lady was still singing her song When the Mississippi freight train came along Jakeleg Chester grabbed the cash and ran As Bootleg held a gun on the ticket man They ran for the tracks but they missed the rail And the dog faced boy was still chasing his tail Stash the cash, or pay the cost They hid it with the bones of the union boss They never found the money and I know it's a fact They took those boys away and they ain't coming back They sheriff came around looking for the dough I hid it down in my bed roll And I left that town without thinking twice I got my own way to paradise I bought myself a truck, a small side show and every single summer well I hit the road (with my)

Daylight © Hal Brolund (SOCAN) 2012 This is for those who've lost their way A simple lyric for those lost in the fray Daylights coming, it's gonna be a brand new day You've got to hold onto to hope, hold onto joy Grab that feeling like a child grabs a brand new toy Daylights coming, it's gonna be a brand new day They say the nights always darkest just before the dawn And that pale moonlight will soon be gone But you can make it through the night It's just a little while before daylight So this is for those who need a little bit of light And for those who need help in the middle of the night Daylights coming, it's gonna be alright Daylights coming, it's gonna be alright Daylights coming, it's gonna be alright

Ten Bucks Too Light © Hal Brolund 2010 My heart races forward like a greyhound bus one foot on the gas and the other on the clutch I'm always too quick to change the gears a shot rings out in the cold dark night a street race running for the bragging rights and I'm always too quick to change the gears Midnight calls to the highwayman Diesel fuel for that one night stand Ten Bucks Too Light to make it home Give me one more mile before my engines blown One more truck stop, another time zone Ten Bucks Too Light to make it home Night falls down like a wedding gown an early winter blanket on this prairie town I'm always too quick to change the gears headlights glare under a blood red moon with any luck it's gonna be dawn soon I'm always too quick to change the gears (Bridge) I'm stuck behind a semi to the double lane wishing I could make it home again my heart races forward in the passing lane

about

The modern sound of the ukulele? Two ukuleles and a drum machine? No matter how you describe it, this recording is a departure from the usual strumming sound associated with the humble ukulele. Manitoba Hal has filled it with infections grooves, overdriven slide leads, glorious ambient reverbs and lush arrangements. All performed on his trusty double neck ukulele and his "Made-By-Hal" baritone resonator ukulele.
