A Few Short, Traditional Songs
Tzena, Rose, Softly Falls the Light of Day, Tall Trees Barges
Tzena
Tzena, Tzena, Tzena
Can't you hear the music playing
In the village square?

Tzena, Tzena, join the celebration
There'll be people from every nation
Dawn will find us dancing in the sunlight
In the village square


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 my name on a moss coloured stone
On a moss coloured stone

Note- This is a good song to sing in a round.



Softly Falls the Light of Day (Vespers)

Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away
Silently each Guide should ask,
Have I done my daily task
Have I kept my honour bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared?


Wetspers
Softly falls the rain today
As our campsite floats away
Silently each Guide should ask
Have I packed my SCUBA mask?
Have I tied my tent flaps down?
Learned to swim, so I won't drown?
Have I done and will I try
Everything to kee me dry?


Tall Trees
Tall trees that reach the sky
Mountains and lakes near by
Draw near by friends
Come sing my friends
Our campfire time is nigh

Barges
This is the TRADITIONAL version only!

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea
And the barges too go silently

CHORUS- Barges I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges, have you treasure in your hold
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see them flickering far ahead

CHORUS
