In the Good Old Summertime In the good old summertime, in the good old summertime, Strolling down the avenue with your Baby Mine, You hold her hand and she holds yours, and that's a very good sign That she's your tootsie-wootsie in the good old summertime.	Let Me Call You Sweetheart Let me call you Sweetheart; I'm in love with you, Let me hear you whisper that you love me, too, Keep the love light glowing in your eyes so true, Let me call you Sweetheart; I'm in love with you!	We're All Together Again We're all together again, we're here, we're here, We're all together again, we're here, we're here, And who knows when we'll be all together again, Singing all together again, we're here, we're here!
Auld Lang Syne Should old acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind, Should old acquaintance be forgot, And days of auld lang syne? For auld lang syne, my friend, for auld lang syne, We'll take a cup of kindness yet, for auld lang syne. We twa ha'e run aboot the braes And pu'd the gowans fine, We've wandered many a weary foot Sin auld lang syne. We twa ha'e sported i' the burn Frae mornin' sun til dine, But seas between us braid ha'e roared Sin auld lang syne. And here's a hand, my trusty friend, And gi'e a hand of thine, We'll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne.	You Are My Sunshine You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, You make me happy when skies are gray, You'll never know, dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away. The other night, dear, as I lay dreaming, I dreamt I held you in my arms, When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken and I hung my head and wept. I'll always love you and make you happy, if you will only say the same, But if you leave me to love another, you'll regret it all someday.	Greensleeves Alas, my love, you do me wrong to cast me off discourteously, For I have loved you so long, delighting in your company. Greensleeves was all my joy, Greensleeves was my delight, Greensleeves was my heart of gold, And who but my lady, Greensleeves? Ah, Greensleeves, now farewell, adieu, and God, I pray will prosper thee, For I am ever thy sweetheart true, come once again to meet me.
Barbara Allen In Scarlet Town where I was born, There was a fair made dwellin' Made every youth cry Well a-day! And her name was Barb'ra Allen. Twas in the merry month of May When green buds they were swellin' Sweet William came from the west country, And he courted Barb'ra Allen. He sent his servant into town To the place where she was dwellin' My master's sick, and he calls for you If your name be Barb'ra Allen. Well, slowly, slowly got she up, And slowly went she nigh him, But all she said, as she passed his bed, Young man, I think you're dyin'. He turned his face unto the wall, For death was in him wellin' Goodbye, he said, To all my friends, Goodbye to Barb'ra Allen. Then lightly tripped she down the stairs, The church bells they were tollin' And each bell seemed to say as it rang, "Hard-hearted Barb'ra Allen." Oh, mother, mother go make my bed And make it long and narrow, Sweet William died for me today, I'll die for him tomorrow. They buried Barb in the old churchyard, And buried sweet Will beside her, Out of his grave grew a red, red rose, And out of hers, a briar. They grew and grew up the old church tow'r 'Til they could grow no higher, Then twined at the top in a lover's knot, The red rose and the briar.	Tumbalalaika Hear the tale of a certain young man Who paced the whole night forming a plan To win the maid who was his delight, A girl who was pretty, witty and bright. Tumbala, tumbala, tum balalaika, Tumbala, tumbala, tum balalaika, Tum balalaika, shpil balalaika, Tum balalaika, freylich zol zayn. Maiden, maiden, can you explain, What can grow without snow or rain? What can live and never die? What can weep and never cry? Idle lad, you're joking, I know A stone can grow without rain or snow, Love can live for endless years, A heart can weep and shed no tears.	Down in the Valley Down in the valley, valley so low, Hang your head over, hear the wind blow, Hear the wind blow, dear, hear the wind blow, Hang your head over, hear the wind blow. Roses love sunshine, violets love dew, Angels in heaven know I love you, Know I love you, dear, know I love you, Angels in heaven know I love you,
		Each Campfire [Candle] Lights Anew Each campfire [candle] lights anew The flame of friendship true, The joy we've had in knowing you Will last the whole year through. And as the embers die away, We wish that we could always stay, But since we cannot have our way, We'll come again some other day.
	The Water is Wide The water is wide, I cannot get o'er, And neither have I wings to fly, I need a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my love and I. I leaned my back up against an oak, I thought it was a sturdy tree, But first it swayed, and then it broke, And so my false love did unto me. Oh, love is handsome and love is fine, And love's a jewel when it is new, But love grows old and waxes cold, And fades away like morning dew. Down in the meadow the other day, All gath'ring flow'rs than bloom in May, All gath'ring flow'rs, both red and blue, I little thought what love can do.	Scarborough Fair Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. Remember me to one who lives there, He once was a true love of mine. If my love at the fair you should see, Parsley sage, rosemary, and thyme. Pray ask him if he thinks oft of me, He once was a true love of mine.
		Tell Me Why Tell me why the stars do shine, Tell me why the ivy twines, Tell me why the skies are blue, And I will tell you just why I love you. Because God made the stars to shine, Because God made the ivy twine, Because God made the skies so blue, Because God made you is why I love you.
Daisy Belle Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do, I'm half crazy all for the love of you. I can't afford a marriage with a stylish carriage, But you'll look sweet upon the seat Of a bicycle built for two. Harry, Harry, here is my answer true, Ill not marry all for the likes of you, If you can't hire a carriage there won't be any marriage, And I'll be switched if I'll be hitched On a bicycle built for two.	I Know Where I'm Going I know where I'm going & I know who's going with me, I know who I love, but the dear knows who I'll marry. I have stockings of silk and shoes of bright green leather, Combs to buckle my hair and a ring for every finger. Feather beds are soft and painted rooms are bonny, But I would leave them all for my handsome, winsome Johnny. Some say that he's dour but I say that he's bonny, Fairest of them all is my handsome, winsome Johnny.
Black is the Color Black, black, black is the color of my true love's hair, His lips are like some rosy fair, The purest eyes and the neatest hands, I love the grass whereon he stands. I know my love and well I know he knows, I love the path whereon he goes, When he on earth no more I see, My life will quickly over be. Winter is past and leaves again are green, The time has passed that we have seen, But still I hope the time will come When he and I will be as one.	Love Somebody Love somebody, yes I do, Love somebody, yes I do, Love somebody, yes I do, Love somebody, but I won't tell who. Love somebody, can't guess who, Love somebody, can't guess who, Love somebody, can't guess who, Love somebody, but I won't tell who. Love somebody, yes I do, Love somebody, yes I do, Love somebody, yes I do, Hope somebody love's me, too.	The Riddle Song I gave my love a cherry that had no stone, I gave my love a chicken that had no bone, I gave my love a story that has no end, I gave my love a baby with no cryin'. How can there be a cherry that has no stone? How can there be a chicken that has no bone? How can there be a story that has no end? How can there be a baby with no cryin'? A cherry when it's bloomin', it has no stone, A chicken when it's pipin, it has no bone, The story that I love you, it has no end, And when a baby's sleepin', there's no cryin'.
Make New Friends Make new friends, but keep the old, One is silver and the other's gold. A circle is round, it has no end, That's how long I want to be your friend. A fire burns bright, it warms the heart, We've been friends right from the very start.	Dewey Was An Admiral Dewey was an admiral on Manilla Bay, Dewy was a morning in the month of May, Dewy were her eyes as she pledeged her love so true, Oh, do we love each other? Yes, indeed we do.	Rose, Rose Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose, Shall 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 my name in the moss-covered stone, sire, Moss-covered stone.
