There is a man come into Egypt, and Moses is his name
When he saw the grief upon us
In his heart there burned a flame

In his heart there burned a flame
There is a man come into Egypt, his eyes are full of light

A youth asking fate to be rewardin
But fortune is a blind god, flying through the clouds
And forgettin me on this side of Jordan

Silver spoons to some mouths, golden spoons to others

You have asked me why the days fly by so quickly
And why each one feels no different from the last
And you say that you are fearful for the future
And you have grown suspicious of the past
And you wonder if the dreams we shared together
Have abandoned us or we abandoned them
And you cast about and try to find new meani... |
Too much of nothin can make a man feel ill at ease
One mans temper might rise, while the other mans temper might freeze
In the days of long confessions, we can not mock a soul
When theres too much of nothin, no one has control
Say hello to Valerie, say hello to Marion
Send them all my salary, on the waters of oblivion

As sure as the dew drops fall on the green corn

Where the gathrin is to be
In the old spot by the river

Run down church
Red clay
River covered
In a smoky haze
Sunday morning
The fire is out
Sunday morning
No one about
The earth is soft
This time of year
Boots get caked
From there to here
Down the road
Route 25
They found this boy
He was barely alive
Jesus is on the wire
So far away, higher and higher

Come gather round people where ever you roam
And admit that the waters around you have grown

How to use
How to load this dataset directly with the datasets library:
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset("huggingartists/peter-paul-and-mary")
Dataset Structure
An example of 'train' looks as follows.
This example was too long and was cropped:
{
"text": "Look, I was gonna go easy on you\nNot to hurt your feelings\nBut I'm only going to get this one chance\nSomething's wrong, I can feel it..."
}
Data Fields
The data fields are the same among all splits.

Data Splits
| train | validation | test |
|---|---|---|
| 237 | - | - |
'Train' can be easily divided into 'train' & 'validation' & 'test' with few lines of code:
from datasets import load_dataset, Dataset, DatasetDict
import numpy as np
datasets = load_dataset("huggingartists/peter-paul-and-mary")
train_percentage = 0.9
validation_percentage = 0.07
test_percentage = 0.03
train, validation, test = np.split(datasets['train']['text'], [int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*train_percentage), int(len(datasets['train']['text'])*(train_percentage + validation_percentage))])
datasets = DatasetDict(
{
'train': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(train)}),
'validation': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(validation)}),
'test': Dataset.from_dict({'text': list(test)})
}
)
