"Come Away Isabeau"




Isabeau Thibadeau was a river girl
Raised in the swamp where black waters swirl
Back on a bayou of the Mississippi
Her mother passed to her the spirit of a gypsy

The black night sky lit with fireflies
She was sung to sleep by cicadas lullabies
She grew up with a wild heart and a wandering spirit
When the wind blew her soul could hear it

The spirit of the wind called to her to go
It said “Ohhhhh come away, come away Isabeau” ohhhhh
It’s time to go ohhhhhh, it’s time to go
Time to follow where the Gypsy winds blow
Yeah follow me where the Gypsy winds blow

Isabeau left the bayou at seventeen
Soon found herself on the river in New Orleans
She worked the nets all day on a fishing boat
The little bit of money barely kept her afloat

So The spirit of the wind called to her to go
It said “Ohhhhh come away, come away Isabeau” ohhhhh
It’s time to go ohhhhhh, it’s time to go
Time to follow where the Gypsy winds blow
Yeah follow me where the Gypsy winds blow


Isabeau drifted year to year and moved town to town
She never got married or had family and settled down
She flowed like a river and died blowing with the breeze
You can still hear the wind calling her through the trees

The spirit of the wind called to her to go
It said “Ohhhhh come away, come away Isabeau” ohhhhh
It’s time to go ohhhhhh, it’s time to go
Time to follow where the Gypsy winds blow
Yeah follow me where the Gypsy winds blow


To this day Isabeau is as free as a bird
And moves on whenever her spirit’s stirred
Nothing will ever catch Isabeau
Her spirit will always fly where the wild winds blow

The wind still calls to her “come away Isabeau”
It’s time to go ohhhhh, it’s time to go
Time to follow where the Gypsy winds blow
The wind says follow me where the Gypsy winds blow
Yeahhhhhhhh follow me

"Wild Horse"



High up in the Bitterroots of Montana
There's a wild filly that can't be broke
Many tried to catch that black-haired Hanna
But she soon disappears like smoke

So, don't try to tame her
She can't be contained
When you fail, don't blame her
She won't take to rope or reins

She's a wild, wild horse
Running free on the range
She's a strong-willed force
And she'll never change
Ooooohhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhh
she's a strong-willed force
And she'll never change

She wants wide open skies
And goes where the prairie wind blows
Maybe for awhile you can run beside
But it won't be for long, every cowboy knows

Fences won't hold her
But you'll love her anyway
Nothing can control her
You can't make her stay

She's a wild, wild horse
Running free on the range
She's a strong-willed force
And she'll never change
Ooooohhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhh
she's a strong-willed force
And she'll never change

She's a hard wind blowin'
Many tried to catch in vain
You know she'll soon be goin'
Like a south bound train

She's a wildfire soul
You just can't control
She's prairie thunder
Bound to wander

She's a wild, wild horse
Running free on the range
She's a strong-willed force
And she'll never change
Ooooohhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Ohhhhhhh
she's a strong-willed force
And she'll never change

She's a wild, wild horse
Running free on the range
And that wild, wild horse .....will never change

COVER ME

Verse 1
Like Indian Paintbrush on the Wyoming prairie
Or sparkling snow on Cottonwoods in January
You fit just right when I hold you tight
You're all I need on a winter night
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Cover me,
Ohhhhhhhhh baby cover me

Chorus
Yeah, be my mountain
And I'll be your sky
Surround me like the Rockies
I'll be your cool wind in July
Ohhhhhhhh Cover me

Verse 2
Like Colorado golden aspens in September
And purple Rockies under a sunset’s burning ember
Amber glows of fireflies, the early morning’s pink sunrise
Swimmin’ in your baby blue eyes
Ohhhhhhhhh Color me,
Ohhhhhhh color me

Chorus
Yeah, be my mountain
And I'll be your sky
Surround me like the Rockies
I'll be your cool wind in July
Ohhhhhhhh Color me

Verse 3
Like a wide open blue Montana sky
Where you can breathe, where eagles fly
Where time slows and the free wind blows
As free as a wildflower grows
Ohhhhhhhhh Free me,
Ohhhhhhh free me

Chorus
Yeah, be my mountain
And I'll be your sky
Surround me like the Rockies
I'll be your cool wind in July
Ohhhhhhhhhhh Free me

Outro
Yeah, baby free me

Three Generations by Denise Scardino



The Curse Ends Right Now With Me

Verse 1
My daddy drank like his daddy, maybe more
Same whiskey bottles on the kitchen floor
Same slammed doors, same broken dreams
Same pain passed down to me
I grew up learning how to stay unseen
How to hide when the whiskey got mean
Every night Mama prayed over me
Prayed the curse would stop with my family

Chorus
Born into the curse of three generations
Sons paying for a father's transgressions
But my sons will never carry
What was handed down to me
Forgiveness is the only thing
That finally set me free
'Cause hurt people, hurt people
That's how the pain repeats
But the curse ends right here and now
The curse ends right now with me

Verse 2
My granddaddy was a suffering soul
Worked on a riverboat shoveling coal
Ran off from his hell when he was 13
Chased whiskey and cards down in New Orleans
My dad was born in '34
Blame it on the Great Depression or the war
Another life wrapped in the same old pain
Another soul trapped in the family chains

Bridge
I still hear those ghosts some nights
Still fight those shadows in my mind

Final Chorus
Born into the curse of three generations
Sons paying for a father's transgressions
But my sons will never carry
What was handed down to me
Forgiveness is the only thing
That finally set me free
'Cause hurt people, hurt people
That's how the pain repeats
But the curse ends right here and now
The curse ends right now with me
Yeahhhhhh, the curse ends right now with me

"Hallelujah To My Prince of Peace"

Verse 1
Thank you Lord for making a way
And giving me new mercies every day
As hard as I try I always fail
I get on the right track and then derail

Chorus
Thank you Lord for every pardon
I wanna walk with you in Love's garden
It’s beyond what I can ever imagine
You water it with your grace and compassion
I thank you Lord and I will never cease
Hallelujah, to my Prince of Peace
Yeah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah to my Prince of Peace

Verse 2
Lord you paid the highest price
To make room for me in Paradise
A home I surely haven’t earned
I long for the day when you return

Bridge
I'll place my trust in Your perfect plan
And rest in the safety of Your nail-scarred hands

Final Chorus
Thank you Lord for every pardon
I wanna walk with you in Love's garden
It’s beyond what I can ever imagine
You water it with your grace and compassion
I thank you Lord and I will never cease
Hallelujah, to my Prince of Peace
Yeah, I say Hallelujah, Hallelujah, to my Prince of Peace

Heal This Wanderin' Heart

Verse 1
Where am I Lord? How did I get so lost?
How many rivers and mountains have I crossed?
How many wrong turns have I made in my life?
How many dead-end roads have ended in strife?

Chorus
You keep telling me Your way is easy
And Your burden is light
Mercies new every morning
Peace and rest every night
You keep calling me to trust You
When my world falls apart
Bring me comfort when I'm weary
Heal this wandering heart
Oh Lord, heal this wandering heart

Verse 2
So many roads looked like they were paved with gold
But left me in a ditch so lonely and cold
Nowhere to lay my head, nowhere to lay my shame
Nothing here can wash away this pain.
Oh Lord, only You can wash away this pain

Bridge
Lord, remind me to follow You every day
And not forget and go my own way
Light that path for me when I stumble
Help me be thankful, kind and humble

Final Chorus
Because Your way is easy
And Your burden is light
Mercies new every morning
Peace and rest every night
You keep calling me to trust You
When my world falls apart
Bring me comfort when I'm weary
Heal this wandering heart

Outro
Lord, You keep calling me to trust You
When my world falls apart
Bring me comfort when I'm weary
Oh Lord, heal this wandering heart
Heal this wandering heart

That Old Johnson Seahorse Denise Scardino | Original Lyrics & Melody| AI Assisted Production

Verse 1
It’s high tide
No work and low ambition
Putt-puttin' in my sweet ride
Gonna do us some fishin'

We got high hopes
And low to no expectations
Got a cooler in tow
Full of ice-cold libations

Pre-Chorus
That old Johnson Seahorse
Grandpa's pride and joy
Summer fun on the water
Like kids with a brand new toy

Chorus
Putt-puttin up the creek
Under Carolina skies so blue
No better way to end the week
Than hot sun with an ice cold brew

Verse 2
Tellin jokes and cutting up
Maybe catch a fish or two
A day with friends catchin' up
At a redneck rendez-vous

Swappin' lies and fishin' tales
Like buddies always do
Every fish gets bigger
With every cold beer or two

Bridge
Grandpa used to tell me
"Son, take some time to play"
Funny how those simple words
Mean a little more today

When that old motor starts up
I can almost hear him say
"Life's too short to miss the good stuff"
As we drift the day away

Pre-chorus
That old Johnson Seahorse
Two-strokin' along
Still making summer memories
hummin' and drummin' like a song

Chorus
Putt-puttin up the creek
Under Carolina skies so blue
No better way to end the week
Than hot sun with an ice cold brew

Outro
Putt putt putt
Putt putt putt
That old Johnson Seahorse

Putt putt putt
Putt putt putt
Grandpa's pride and joy

Two-strokin' up the creek
Under Carolina blue
Still making summer memories
Like Grandpa used to do

Putt putt putt...
Putt putt putt...

"What We Don't Know"

From the depths of the sea
To distant galaxies
From what’s around us to the unseen
And every dimension in between
From the future back to long ago,
We think we know
But we don’t know what we don’t know

Where do we go from here?
Are we lost because of fear?
What waits beyond the great divide?
What lies ahead on the other side?
What lies ahead on the other side?

From the music pleasant to our ear
To the distant sounds, we cannot hear
From Heaven above to Hell below
We hear and see dimly, a mere shadow
From the future back to long ago,
We think we know
But we don’t know what we don’t know

Where do we go from here?
Are we lost because of fear?
What waits beyond the great divide?
What lies ahead on the other side?
What lies ahead on the other side?

Spending so much time chasing fading lights
What hides beyond the darkest nights?
What waits beyond the final ride?
From the future back to long ago,
We think we know
But we don’t know what we don’t know

What is the true reality
Does it surround us and we just can’t see?

Where do we go from here?
Are we lost because of fear?
What waits beyond the great divide?
What lies ahead on the other side?
What lies ahead on the other side?

Yeah, We think we know
But we don’t know what we don’t know

I Drink To Remember Denise Scardino

Verse 1
Her note said she still loved me
But she couldn't love for us both
She gave me every chance to see it
And I gave her every reason to go

Chorus
If whiskey drowned her memory
I'd be sober as a saint
I still feel her skin against me
I still hear her whisperin' my name
Yeah, I don't drink to forget her
I drink...... to remember

Verse 2
I lost sight of what mattered
Chasing my own dreams alone
I left our whole world shattered
Now everything good is gone

Chorus
If whiskey drowned her memory
I'd be sober as a saint
I still feel her skin against me
I still hear her whisperin' my name
Yeah, I don't drink to forget her
I drink...... to remember

Bridge
I took her for granted back then
Always thinkin' she'd wait
Now I'm finally the man I shoulda been
I'm just a little too late

Chorus
If whiskey drowned her memory
I'd be sober as a saint
I'd give anything to hold her
And hear her whisperin' my name
Yeah, I don't drink to forget her
I drink...... to remember

I don't drink to forget her
I drink...... to remember
