Song:
I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence,
I've got sixpence to last me all my life.
I've got tupence to spend and tupence to lend, and
tupence to send home to my wife, which wife.

Song:
My grandfather's clock was too tall for the shelf, so it stood ninety years on the floor.
It was taller by half than the old man himself, but it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born, and was always his treasure
and pride.

CHORUS:
But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering, tick tock, tick tock.
Life seconds numbering, tick tock, tick tock.
But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died.

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro, many hours had he spent while a boy.
And in childhood and manhood, the clock seemed to know, and it shared in his grief and his joy.
And it struck twenty four as he opened up the door, with a blooming and beautiful bride.

[CHORUS]

My grandfather said that of those he could hire, not a servant so faithful he found.
For it wasted no time and had but one desire, at the close of each week to be wound.
And it kept in its place, not a frown upon its face, and its hands never hung by its side;

[CHORUS]

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night, an alarm that for years had been dumb.
And we knew that his spirit was pluming its flight, and his hour of departure had come.
Still the clock kept the time, with a soft and muffled chime, as we silently stood by his side;

[CHORUS]

Song:
The poor old slave has gone to rest,
Way down in Tennessee - see - see.
Here lie his bones,
Disturb them not,
Way down in Tennessee - see - see.

Song:
I-come-a-zimba-zimba-zay-a
I-come-a-zimba-zimba-zee
I-come-a-zimba-zimba-zay-a
I-come-a-zimba-zimba-zee

I will sing you one O
Green grow the rushes O
What is your one O
One is one and all alone
And evermore shall be so

I will sing you two O
Green grow the rushes O
What is your two O
Two, two the lily white boys
Clothed all in green O

I will sing you three O
Green grow the rushes O
What is your three O
Three, three the rivals

Four for the Gospel makers

Five for the symbols at your door

Six for the six proud walkers

Seven for the seven stars in the sky

Eight for the April rainers

Nine for the nine bright shiners

Ten for the Ten Commandments

Eleven for the eleven that went to heaven

Twelve for the twelve apostles

Where have all the flowers gone

Where have all the grave yards gone
Gone to flowers every one
When will they ever learn
When will they ever learn

Oh Yeah.

When you walk through a storm,
Hold your head up high,
And don't be afraid of the dark,
At the end of the storm is a golden sky.
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown,
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,
And you'll never walk alone.
You'll never walk alone

Don't fence me in

Oh give me land, lots of land under starry skies above
Don't fence me in
Let me ride through the wide open country that I love
Don't fence me in
Let me be by myself in the evening breeze
Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees
Send me off forever but I ask you please
Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the Western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze about the moon until I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

Just turn me loose
Let me straddle my old saddle underneath the Western skies
On my cayuse
Let me wander over yonder 'til I see the mountains rise
I want to ride to the ridge where the West commences
Gaze about the moon until I lose my senses
Can't look at hobbles and I can't stand fences
Don't fence me in

Repeat a little quieter each time until you are whispering.

101^st Airborne

Each line is sung by a leader and then the group repeats each line.

Early on a frosty morn

Joined the 101^st Airborne

People thought I lost my brains

Started jumping out of planes

Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door

Im gonna jump on the count of four

If that chute don’t open wide

I got another one by my side

If that chute should fail me too

Bury me please in my dress blues

If I die in the battle zone

Put me in a box and send me home

Put my medals on my chest

Tell my momma I did my best

Sound off

One two

Hit it again

Three four

Break it down

One two three four

One two       three four

This Land Is Your Land

This land is your land

This land is my land

From California to the New York Islands

From the Redwood Forest to the gulf stream waters

This land belongs to you and me

Down In The Valley

Down in the valley.  The valley so low.

Hang your head over and hear the wind blow.

Dear hear the wind blow.

Down in the valley.  The valley so low.

Swanee River

Way down upon the Swanee River

Far, far from home.

That’s where my heart is yearning ever.

That’s where the old folks stay.

Home On The Range

Home,  home on the range

where the deer and the antelope play.

Where seldom is heard

a discouraging word.

And the sky is not cloudy all day.

DIXIE

O, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.
In Dixie Land where I was born in
Early on one frosty mornin'
Look away! Look away!
Look away! Dixie Land.

Chorus:
O, I wish I was in Dixie!
Hooray! Hooray!
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away,
Away down south in Dixie!
 

Rolled Away

IF I Had A Hammer

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land

Well I've got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing
All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters
All over this land
