Campfire's Burning

Campfire's burning, campfire's burning
Draw nearer, draw nearer
In the gloaming, in the gloaming
Come sing and be merry

Chairs To Mend


Chairs to mend
Old chairs to mend
Mackerel
Fresh mackerel
Any old rags
Any old rags

Indians


Indians are high minded
Bless my soul, they're double jointed
They climb hills and don't mind it
All day long

Make New Friends


Make new friends but keep the old
One is silver and the others gold
A circle's round
It has no end
That's how long I want to be your friend
I have a hand
And you have the other
Put them together
And we have each other

Music Shall Live


All things shall perish
From under the sky
Music alone shall live,
Music alone shall live,
Music alone shall live,
Never to die

Sing when you're happy, and sing when you're sad
Sing with the rising sun
Sing when the day is done
Singing is having fun, sing everyone

Thanks to Jack at spockbones@hotmail.com for the second verse


My Goose


Why shouldn't my goose
Sing as well as thy goose
When I paid for my goose
Twice as much as thou

The Ocean


The ocean is the beginning of the earth
The ocean is the beginning of the earth
All things come from the sea
All things come from the sea

Oh How Lovely


Oh how lovely is the evening, is the evening
Wedding bells are sweetly singing, sweetly singing
Ding, dong
Ding, dong

Our Poor Bird


This song is a replacement to the second verse of Rose. Usually, only one person sings this song along with everyone else singing Rose the regular way.

Our Poor Bird
Take thy flight
High above the sorrows
Of this sad night

Peace


Peace, Peace, Peace
Wars will come and wars will cease
We must learn to live together
Peace, Peace, Peace

Peace II


Oh, what a lovely thing
If the creatures of mankind
Could live together
In a world of peace

Rise Up, Oh Flame


This song is to be sung until the fire gets going at a campfire or ceremony

Rise up, oh flame
By thy light glowing
Show to us beauty
Vision and joy


Rose


Rose, rose, rose, rose
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire
At thy will

Ding-dong, ding-dong
Wedding bells on an April morn
Carve your name on a moss covered stone
On a moss covered stone

(This is the verse that we are not allowed to sing at camp!)

Mother, Father dig my grave
Dig it with a golden spade
Send my friends and a turtle dove
To say that I died for love

Sara Spunda, Sara Spunda

A doray oh, a doray boomday oh,
A doray boomday, rat sat sat
Ah say, paw say, oh!

White Coral Bells


White coral bells
Upon a slender stalk
Lilies of the valley
Line my garden walk
Oh, don't you wish
You could hear them ring?
That will happen only
When the fairies sing!
