Jamaican Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay
And the sun shines daily on the mountain top
I took a trip on a sailing boat
And when I reached jamaica, I made a stop

#Chorus
But I’m say to say, I’m on my way
Won’t be back for many a days
My heart is down, my head is turning around
I had to leave a little girl in kingston town

Sounds of laughter everywhere
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro
I must declare my heart is there
Though I’ve been from maine to mexico
#


Linger

# Chorus
Mm-Mm I want to linger
Mm-Mm a little longer
Mm-Mm a little longer here with you

Mm-Mm it’s such a perfect night
It doesn’t seen quite right
That it’s my last night here with you

#

Mm-Mm and come September
We’ll all remember
Our lasting friendship true and strong

#

Mm-Mm and as the years go by
Remember this and sigh
This is goodnight and not good bye.


Long Long Ago

Tell me the tales that to me was so dear
Long long ago, long long ago
Sing me the songs I delighted to hear
Long long ago, long long ago

Now you have come, my grief is done
Let me forget, how love has won
Let me believe that you love as you loved
Long long ago, long ago


Moonlight Bay

We were sailing along
On the moonlight bay
We could hear the voices singing
They seem to say
You have stolen my heart
But don’t go away
As we sang old love sweet song
On moonlight bay


My Bonnie

My bonnie lies over the ocean
My bonnie lies over the sea
My bonnie lies over the ocean

# Chorus
Bring back, oh bring back
Oh bring back my bonnie to me, to me
Bring back oh bring back
Oh bring back my bonnie to me

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my bonnie was dead

#

The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
Oh bring back my bonnie to me

Pack Up Your Troubles

Pack up your troubles in the old kit bag
And smile smile smile
While you have lucifer to light your bad
Smile boy that’s the style
What’s the use of worrying
It’s never was worthwhile
So pack up your troubles in the old kit bag
And smile smile smile
(Followed by ‘Tipperary’)


Pass It On

It only takes a spark, to get the fire going
And soon all those around
Can warm up in its glowing

That’s how it is with god’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You’ll spread his love, to everyone
You want to pass it on, pass it on

What a wondrous time is spring
When all the trees are budding
The birds begin to sing
The flowers start their blooming

That’s how it is with god’s love
Once you’ve experienced it
You want to sing, it’s fresh like spring
You want to pass it on, pass it on

I wish for you my friend
The happiness that I’ve found
You can depend on him
It matters where you’re bound

I shouted it from the mountain top
I wan the world to know
The lord of love has come to me
I want to pass it on, pass it on

Red River Valley

From this valley they say you are going
We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile
For they say you are taking the sunshine
That brightens our pathway awhile

# Chorus
Come and sit by my side if you love me
Do not hasten to bid me adieu
But remember the red river valley
And the girl/boy that has loved you so true

Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving
Oh, how lonely, how sad it will be
Oh, I think of the fond heart you’re breaking
And the grief you are causing me

#

As you go to your home by the ocean
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the red river valley
And the love we exchanged ‘mid the flowers

#

Please come back to the red river valley
Please come back to the heart that is true
I’ll be here in the red river valley
I’ll be waiting my darling for you

Scout Hymn

Now as I sart upon my chosen way
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play
Grant as I promise, courage new for me
To be the best, the best that I can be

Help me to keep my honour shining bright
May I be loyal in the hardest fight
Let me be able for my task, and then
To earn a place among my fellow men

Open my eyes to see things as I should
That I may do my daily turn of good
Let me be ready, waiting for each need
To keep me clean in thought and word and deed

Now as I sart upon my chosen way
In all I do, my thoughts, my work, my play
Grant as I promise, courage new for me
To be the best, the best that I can be

Six Little Ducks

Six little ducks that I once knew
Fat one, skinny one, then there were two
And the one little duck with a feather on its back
It led others with a quack quack quack

Down to the river they would go
Wibble wabble wibble wabble to and fro
And the one little duck with a feather on its back
It led others with a quack quack quack

Into the water they would dive
Over and under the other five
And the one little duck with a feather on its back
It led others with a quack quack quack

Home from the river they would go
Wibble wabble wibble wabble ho hum ho
And the one little duck with a feather on its back
It led others with a quack quack quack

The Grand Old Duke of York




The Grand Old Duke of York,

He had ten thousand men.

He marched them up the hill,

and marched them down again.

Now when you're up, you 're up;

and when you're down, you're down.

And when you're only halfway up,

You're neither up nor down.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (and so on...)


Lyrics Sung to the tune, natch, of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"



Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are.



Twinkle, twinkle little moon,

How I wonder what you're doin'.

Up above the world so high,

Like a flashlight in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little moon,

How I wonder what you're doin'.



Twinkle, twinkle little comet,

How I wonder what is on it.

Up above the world so high,

Like a feather in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little comet,

How I wonder what is on it.



Twinkle, twinkle little nova,

Let's go dance the bossa-nova.

Up above the world so high,

Like a flower in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little nova,

Let's go dance the bossa-nova.



Twinkle, twinkle little black hole,

How I wonder where you'll go.

Up above the world so high,

Like a belly-button in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little black hole,

How I wonder where you'll go.
