I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to sing
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
I wave my hat to all I meet
And they wave back at me
And blackbirds call so loud and clear
From every greenwood tree
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die
And may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky
Going Down The Valley
(getting quieter)
We are going down the valley,
Going down the valley,
Going down the valley one by one,
We are going down the valley,
Going down the valley,
Going to the setting of the sun
(getting louder)
We are coming up the valley,
Coming up the valley,
Coming up the valley one by one,
We are coming up the valley,
Coming up the valley,
Coming to the setting of the sun
My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
My bonnie lies over the ocean
My bonnie lies over the sea
My bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my bonnie to me
There's A Hole In My Bucket
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza.
There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole.
Go fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, dear Henry.
Go fix it, dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it.
With what shall I fix it, dear Liza ... with what?
With a straw, dear Henry ... with a straw
But the straw is too long, ...
Well cut it, ...
With what shall I cut it, ...
With an axe, ...
But the axe is too dull, ...
Well sharpen it, ...
On what shall I sharpen it, ...
With a stone, ...
The stone is too dry, ...
Well wet it, ...
With what shall I wet it, ...
Try water, ...
In what shall I fetch it, ...
With a bucket, ...
But there's a hole in my bucket.
She'll be Coming Round the Mountain
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes,
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes,
She'll be coming round the mountain,
She'll be coming round the mountain when she comes,
Coming round the mountain,
Coming round the mountain when she comes,

Can a woman fly an airplane?
Yes she can, yes she can!

Just you wait until we're older,
then you'll see
We'll be women in tomorrow's
history!
As we grow up through the years
We'll sing out loud and clear
Can we start the process here?
Yes we can, yes we can!!
The Drunken Sailor
What shall we do with the drunken sailor (3x)
Early in the morning
Refrain:
Hooray! And up she rises (3x)
Early in the morning
Put him in the longboat 'til he's sober
Pull out the plug and wet him all over
Put him in the scuppers with a hose pipe on him
Heave him by the leg in a running bowlin'
Take him and shake him and let now awake him
That's what we'll do with the drunken sailor
A Smile is a Funny Thing
(sung to Auld Lang Syne)
A smile is quite a funny thing
It wrinkles up your face
And when it's gone, you'll never find
Its secret hiding place
But far more wonderful it is
To see what smiles can do
You smile at one, she smiles at you
And so one smile makes two
He smiles at someone, since you smile
And then that one smiles back
And that one smile smiles until in truth
You fail in keeping track
And since a smile can do great good
By cheering hearts of care
Let's smile and not forget the fact
That smiles go everywhere
We're here for fun right from the start,
Pray drop your dignity,
And laugh and sing with all your heart,
And show your loyalty.
All other meeting we've enjoyed ,
Let this one be the best.
Join in the songs we sing today,
Be happy with the rest.
