I don`t remember the Kingston Trio version very well,
but I have the following in my song database (which I will
submit to the guitar archive soon).
{title:All-e-Oxen Free}
[G]Time to let the rain fall with[C]out the h[D]elp of m[G]an,
[G]Time to let the trees grow tall, n[C]ow if they [D]only c[G]an,
[C]Time to l[D]et our ch[G]ildren l[C]ive in a l[D]and that`s f[G]ree,
[G]All-ee All-ee [C]All-ee All-ee [D]Oxen,
[G]All-ee All-ee [C]All-ee All-ee [D]Oxen F[G]ree.
Time to blow the smoke away and look at the sky again,
Time to let our friends know that we`d like to begin again,
Time to send a message across the land and sea:
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen,
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen Free.
[C]Strong and w[D]eak, m[G]ild and meek,
[C]No more h[D]ide and s[G]eek.
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen,
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen Free.
Time to see the fairness of out children`s games,
Time for man to stop and learn to do the same,
Time to make our minds up that the world at last will be
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen,
All-ee All-ee All-ee All-ee Oxen Free.
