2. Cindy
3. I’m Sad and I’m Lonely
4. Lyrics:
I am bound for the promised land,
I am bound for the promised land;
Oh who will come and go with
me?
I am bound for the promised land.
When I shall reach that happy
place,
I'll be forever blessed,
For I shall see my Father's face,
And in His bosom rest.

5. Lyrics:
Wish I was an apple dangling
from a tree,
Every time you'd pass me by
you'd take a bite of me,
I wish I was a bluebird I'd never
fly away,
I'd sit up on your shoulder
baby and sing to you all day.
Come on home Cindy Cindy,
Come on home Cindy Cindy
Come on home Cindy Cindy,
Come on home to me

6. Lyrics:
Hear that lonesome
whippoorwill?
He sounds too blue to fly.
The midnight train is whining
low:
I'm so lonesome I could cry.
I've never seen a night so long,
When time goes crawling by.
The moon just went behind a
cloud,
To hide its face and cry.
