Jimmy Rodger's recordings with ukulele

Dear Old Sunny South by the Sea (1928)


Treasure's untold (1928)

My late brother Allan Stephen Hobbs (1956-1998) sang this song. He sang it well. Better than i can or ever could. I neglected my little brother. He should have been a star but instead he fell into hard times that killed him. While the world rushed by.

Whisper your mother's name (1929)

Cause for Palestine - theft and murder r1

An updated version, with words and chords






Jewish Scholar Norman Finkelstein Says ‘Israel Is A Nation Of Murderers’ Loved By The Far Right

      Dm               Am
You hearken to a call from God
         C                           G
that's sworn to by some lying sod
     Dm              Am
it's just another big con job
         C           G             Dm
that's built on theft and murder

why can't you see it's genocide
of anyone who you decide's
essential to God's great design
all built on theft and murder

the chosen people so they say
will show us how and light the way
but i see bloodshed every day
that looks like theft and murder

So join the cause of Palestine
don't wait until there's no more time
your heartless end of times design
is simply theft and murder

No use cryin, no use tryin the telephone

In the afternoon i'm workin all alone
In the afternoon i'm working all alone
no use cryin, no use tryin the telephone

I've been waitin, i've been waitin a long long time
I've been waitin, honey i've been waitin a long long time
since you went away i've been out of my mind

in the evenin when the sun looks good goin down
in the evenin sugar when the sun looks good goin down
look for you baby but you're nowhere to be found

I've been waitin, I've been waitin for you to come home
I've been waitin, i've been waitin for you to come home
no use cryin, no use tryin the telephone

in the mornin when i reach for you in bed
in the mornin honey when i reach for you in bed
it's not you honey pie it's somebody else instead

here's a q n d - hope to improve on it

words are kinda flexible - kinda make them upish as i go along though it's gravitating to a regular set now

Join the cause for Palestine

A new song. A first draft and a rushed recording.


       Dm               Am
You hearken to a call from God
         C                           G
that's sworn to by some lying sod
     Dm              Am
it's just another big con job
         C           G             Dm
that's built on theft and murder

why can't you see it's genocide
of anyone who you decide's
essential to God's plan divine
all built on theft and murder

the chosen people so they say
will show us how and light the way
but i see bloodshed every day
that looks like theft and murder

So join the cause of Palestine
don't wait until there's no more time
your heartless end of times design
is simply theft and murder

A waste of good whiskey

Em                                           A                    Em
why i'm feelin blue is just the lack of some whiskey
     A                               G              Em    G  Em
to drink and drive you out of my mind

Em                                       A                      Em
Cryin over you would be a waste of good whiskey
                   A               G                Em    G  Em
and there's so little to spare at this time


Em                                            A                   Em
lying like you do is just more proof of my stupidity
        A                 G                            Em    G  Em
no wonder that i hang my head and cry

Em                                    A             Em
dyin over you would be a lost opportunity
    A                               G                           Em         G  Em
to see my way through all these troubling times

Long Long Road - New Zealand Cannabis Referendum Song

G C  G  C x n

G              C                     G          C
Whenever you are feelin blue
G                 C                               G           C
what do you do to make yourself happy?
G                   C                         G         C
When you don't know what to do
G                  C                                G              C      D
What do you think might make it happen?
                               (G C D)
It's a long long road
                          G         C    D
from misery to happiness
                               (G C D)
you've been walking it alone
                                G        C
you need walk it no more

All my life - pointed the finger
All my life it's been the same lie
All my life it's been repeated
First you go crazy then you die

It's a long long road
from misery to happiness
you've been walking it alone
well you're alone no more
