God bless the grass that grows through the crack.
They roll the concrete over it and try to keep it back.
The concrete gets tired of what it has to do
it breaks and it buckles and the grass grows through
And God bless the grass.
God bless the truth that fights for the sun.
They roll the lies over it and think that it is done
It moves through the ground, it reaches for the air
and after a while, it's growing everywhere.
And God bless the truth.
God bless the grass that breaks through cement
It's green and it's tender, it's easily bent.
But after a while, it lifts up it's head,
For the grass is living and the stone is dead,
And God bless the grass
God has created a new day
Silver and green and gold;
Live that the sunset may find us
Worthy his gifts to hold.

Where have you been all the day, Henry my boy?
Where have you been all the day, my pride and joy?
[Boys]
In the woods, dear mother. In the woods, dear mother.
Mother be quick. I'm going to be sick and lay me down to die.
What did you do in the woods all day ...
Ate, dear mother ...
What did you eat in the woods all day ...
Eels, dear mother...
What color were those eels ...
Green and yeller, green and yeller ...
Those eels were snakes ...
Oooh, dear mother ...
[What color flowers would you like ...
Green and yeller, green and yeller ...]
Green trees around us, blue skies above
Friends all around us, in a world filled with love.
Taps sounding softly, hearts beating true,
As campers say "Goodnight to you".
Day is done. Gone the sun
from the lakes, from the hills from the skies.
All is well. Safely rest.
God is nigh. (And good night.)
I love to go a-wandering,
Along the mountain track,
And as I go I love to sing
My knapsack on my back.
Val-de-ri, Val-de-ra,
Val-de-ra, Val-de-ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Val-de-ri, Val-de-ra
My knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me
Come join my happy song.
Val-de-ri ...
I wave my hat to all I meet,
And they wave back to me.
Blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From every greenwood tree.
Val-de-ri ...
High overhead the skylarks wing,
They never rest at home,
But just like me they love to sing
As o're the world they roam.
Oh! may I go a-wandering,
Until the day I die.
Oh, may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky.
Val-de-ri ...

Sung standing, touching each body part as it is sung.
Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head shoulders knees and toes, knees and toes.

Heigh ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Still I will be merry.
Hi Jolly was a camel driver, long time ago
He followed Mr. Bueno way out west
Didn't mind the burning sand in that God-forsaken land
And he didn't mind the pretty gals the best.
I'm singin' Hi Jolly, Hey Jolly twenty miles today, by golly
Twenty more before the morning light (Yee-haw)
Hi Jolly, Hey-I gotta get to be on my way-I
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night.
They got pretty girls in Alberquerque
'Least that's what I've heard
They got pretty gals in Tucumcari too
But honey I don't mind
I don't pay them any mind
'Cause I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you
I'm singin' Hi Jolly ...
Old timers down in Arizona tell you that it's true
You can see Hi Jolly's ghost a-ridin' still
When the desert moon is bright
He comes riding through the night
Leading four and twenty camels o'er the hill.
I'm singin' Hi Jolly ...
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night (2, 3, 4)
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday night (2, 3, 4)
Told my gal I'd be home Sunday ni-i-i-i-ight. Yee haw!

Hold them down, you Zulu Warriors
Hold them down, you Zulu chief

I had a horse and his name was Bill
When he ran he couldn't stand still--
Ran away, one day, and also I ran with him
He ran so fast he could not stop
He ran into a barbershop
And fell exhaustionized, with his eyeteeth in the barber's left
shoulder.
I had a girl and her name was Daisy
When she sang the cat went crazy
With St. Vituses, and deliriums, and all kinds of
cataleptics
One day she sang a song about
A man who turned himself inside ouit
And jumped into the river because he was so very sleepy
In Frisco Bay there lives a whale
She eats porkchops by the bale
By the hogshead, by the schooner, and sometimes by the pillbox
Her name is Luna, she's a peach
But don't leave food within her reach
Or babies, or nursemaids, or chocolate ice cream sodas.
When she's happy how she smiles
You see teeth for miles and miles
and tonsils and spareribs, and things too fierce to mention.
When she's happy how she plays
She rolls her eyes for days and days
And vibrates and yodels and breaks the Ten Commandments
Well, what d'ya do in a case like that?
What d'ya do but jump on your hat
And your grandmother and your toothbrush And anything that's
helpless.
"I had an Old Hound" was one Oz Hawksley brought in '53, as part of the transmogrification into folk songs.--Dick Dawson
I had an old hound with a cold wet nose
Too-rey, too-rey, Fi-diddle-li-i-doe
I had an old hound with a cold wet nose
FOD!!
Had an old hound with a cold wet nose,
He caught a cold and he couldn't smell clothes,
Too-rod-i-aye.
I put his nose in the baby's shoes
Too-rey, too-rey, Fi-diddle-li-i-doe
I put his nose in the baby's shoes
FOD!!
Put his nose in the baby's shoes
Instead of arf, arf,
He said Ah-coo!
Too-rad-i-aye.
Mm-mm, I want to linger
Mm-mm-mm, a little longer,
Mm-mm-mm, a little longer with you.
Mm-mm, It's such a perfect night
Mm-mm, It doesn't seem quite right
Mm-mm, That it should be my last with you.
Mm-mm, And come September
Mm-mm, I will remember
Mm-mm, Our camping friendships fond and true
Mm-mm, And as the years go by
Mm-mm, I'll think of you and I
Mm-mm, This is good night, and not good-by
Mm-mm, I want to linger
Mm-mm, A little longer
Mm-mm, A little longer with you.
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning ...
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning ...
Well I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing, all over this land
It's the hammer of justice, It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land
Remembered by Al Ross
If we could consider each other
A neighbor, a friend, or a brother
It could be a wonderful, wonderful world,
It could be a wonderful world, oh-ho,
It could be a wonderful world.
If each little kid could have fresh milk each day
If each working man had enough time to play
If each homeless soul had a good place to stay
It could be a wonderful world, oh-ho,
It could be a wonderful world.
[Repeat the first verse. ]
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (Clap,
Clap)
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (Clap, Clap)
If you're happy and you know it, and you really want to show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands (Clap, Clap)
If you're happy and you know it, stamp your feet (Stomp, Stomp) ...
If you're happy and you know it, give a shout (Landing Name) ...
If you're happy and you know it, do all three ...
I'm being swallowed by a boa-constrictor
I'm being swallowed by a boa-constrictor
And I don't like it very much
Oh no, (oh no) he swallowed my toe (he swallowed my toe)
(Similarly)
O gee, he's up to my knee
Oh, my, he's reached my thigh
O fiddle, he's up to my middle
Oh heck, he's up to my neck
O dread, He's swallowed my ... [SLURP].
I've got six pence, jolly, jolly sixpence
I've got six pence to last me all my life
I've got tuppence to spend and tuppence to lend
and tuppence to send home to my wife, poor wife
No cares have I to grieve me
No sassy little girls to deceive me
I'm as happy as a lark believe me
As we go rolling, rolling home.
Rolling home (rolling home) Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the silvery mo-oo-oo-oon
Happy is the day when the (counselors get their pay)/(campers go
away)
And we go rolling, rolling home.
[Repeat:
with four pence, giving no pence to my wife;
with tuppence, having only tuppence to spend; and
(sadly) with no pence.]
