Wanders at will

return once more

Canoe of birch bark
By mighty waterways
Carry me forth
High on a rocky ledge
I'll build my wigwam
Close to the water's edge
Silent and still
(note: Land of the Silver Birch can be sung
simultaneously with My Paddle for a fabulous
effect!)

Alternative Chorus (2)
I ain't gonna grieve (i-eve-i-eve) my Lord no more
I ain't gonna grieve
I ain't gonna worry
I ain't gonna leave my Lord in a hurry
I ain't gonna grieve (i-eve-i-eve) my Lord no more, any more
On my honour I will try
There's a duty to be done, and I say
"aye",
There's a reason here, for a reason above
My honour is to try, and my duty is to love
No one needs to know my name
If I
someone, then I'm to blame
If I help someone, then I've helped me
And that's the way that it should be
I've tucked away a song or two
If you're feeling low, there's one for you
If you need a friend, then I will come
There's plenty more where I come from
Come with me where a fire burns bright
You can see much better by its own light
You can find more meaning in a campfire's glow
Than you'll ever find in a year or so
Friendship is the strangest thing
If you keep it to yourself no reward will it bring
But you gave it away, and you gave it to me
And from now on great friends we'll be
I wear my Frilly nightie in the
summer when it's hot
I wear my pink pyjamas in the
winter when it's not
And sometimes in the springtime
and sometimes in the fall
I jump into my little bed with
nothing on at all
Ooh!
That's the time you ought to see
me,
That's the time you ought to see
me,
That's the time you ought to see
me,
When I jump into my little bed
with nothing on at all!!
Chorus:
My eyes
are dim, I cannot see
I have
not brought my specs with me
I have
not brought my specs with me
There were llamas, llamas, wearing pink pyjamas
In the store, in the store
There were llamas, llamas wearing pink pyjamas
In the quartermaster store
There was cheese, cheese with shocking dirty
knees...
Eggs,eggs on little bandy legs...
Lard, lard they sell it in the yard...
Kippers, kippers that go about in slippers...
Beans, beans as big as submarines...
Steak, steak that keeps us all awake...
Bread, bread like great big lumps of lead...
Cakes, cakes that give us tummy aches...
We are red men, tall and quaint
In our feathers and war paint
Pow wow, pow wow
We are the men of the old Dun cow
All of us are red men
Feathers in our head men
Down among the dead men
Pow wow
We
dont fight with sticks and stones
Bows and arrows, bricks and bones
Pow wow, pow wow
We are the men of the old Dun cow
All of us are red men
Feathers in our head men
Down among the dead men
Pow wow

When I was one, I sucked my thumb
The day I went to sea
I climbed aboard the pirate ship
And the captain said to me
We're going north, south, east, west,
Over the Irish sea
A bottle of rum to fill me tum
And that's the life for me!
When I was two, I tied my shoe
When I was three, I grazed my knee
When I was four, I shut the door
When I was five, I learnt to jive
When I was six, I picked up sticks
When I was seven, I looked up to heaven
When I was eight, I shut the gate
When I was nine, it was the end of the line

Tried do get to heaven on the end of a kite

They couldn't get to heaven so they all went to bed!
