In a Forest/Cottage In a cottage, in a wood, A little old man at the window stood, Saw a rabbit running by, Came knocking at the door. "Help me! Help me!" the rabbit said, "Before the hunter-man shoots me dead!" "Come, little rabbit, come with me, And happy we will be!" Jamaican Farewell Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
But I'm sad to say, I'm on my way Won't be back for many a day My heart is down, my head is turning around I had to leave a little girl in Kingston town
And the dancing girls swaying to and fro I must declare that my heart is there Though I've been from Maine to Mexico CHORUS Down at the market you can hear Ladies cry out while on their head they bear Ackie rice and salt fish is nice And the rum is good any time of year CHORUS Jimmy Crack Corn (Blue Tail Fly) Down the way where the nights are gay And the sun shines daily on the mountain top I took a trip on a sailing ship And when I reached Jamaica I made a stop
Dashing through the snow In a one-horse open sleigh Through the fields we go Laughing all the way. Bells on bob-tail ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight. Chorus Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh, O Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way, Oh what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh. A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride And soon Miss Fanny Bright Was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank Misfortune seemed his lot, We ran into a drifted bank And there we got upsot. Chorus A day or two ago The story I must tell I went out on the snow And on my back I fell; A gent was riding by In a one-horse open sleigh He laughed at me as I there sprawling laid But quickly drove away. Chorus Now the ground is white, Go it while you're young, Take the girls along And sing this sleighing song. Just bet a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed, Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! You'll take the lead. Chorus John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave, John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave, John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave, John Brown's body lies a-mould'ring in the grave, But his soul goes marching on! Glory, glory Hallelujah, Glory, glory Hallelujah, Glory, glory Hallelujah, And his soul goes marching on! He captured Harper's Ferry with his nineteen men so true He frightened old Virginia till she trembled through and through They hung him for a traitor, themselves the traitor crew His soul is marching on (Chorus)
He's gone to be a soldier in the Army of the Lord, He's gone to be a soldier in the Army of the Lord, His soul goes marching on. (Chorus) John Brown died that the slaves might be free, John Brown died that the slaves might be free, John Brown died that the slaves might be free, But his soul goes marching on. (Chorus) The stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down, The stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down, The stars above in Heaven now are looking kindly down, On the grave of old John Brown. (Chorus)

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree Counting all the monkeys he can see Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra! That's not a monkey that's me (Can be sung as a round) Land of the Silver Birch Land of the silver birch, Home of the beaver, Where still the mighty moose Wanders at will. Chorus Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more, Boom diddy eye di, boom diddy eye di Boom diddy eye di, boom. My heart grows sick for you Here in the lowkands, I will return to you Hills of the north. Chorus Swift as the silver fish, Canoe of birch bark, Thy mighty waterways Carry me forth. Chorus There where the blue lake lies I'll set my wigwam, Close to the water's edge, Silent and still. Chorus Blue lake and rocky shore, I will return once more, Boom diddy eye di, boom diddy eye di Boom diddy eye di, boom. (This song is based on an aboriginal Canadian (Indian) canoeing song) Let your little light shine Chorus Let you little light shine shine shine Let your little light shine shine shine Maybe there’s someone down in the valley Trying to get home Trying to get home Well it could be me or it could be you It could be your brother or your sister to Just know there’s someone down in the valley Trying to get home Trying to get home
Well maybe that’s why they’re behind They’re just stuck down in the valley Trying to get home Trying to get home

It made the children laugh and play, Laugh and play, laugh and play, It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school And so the teacher turned it out, Turned it out, turned it out, And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near And waited patiently about, Patiently about, patiently about, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear "Why does the lamb love Mary so?" Love Mary so? Love Mary so? "Why does the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."

With a comb and a glass in her hand. Chorus While the raging seas did roar, And the stormy seas did blow, And we jolly sailor boys were up, up a-loft, And the land lubbers lying down below, below, below, And the land lubbers lying down below.
Who at once our peril did see, 'I have married a wife in fair London town, And this night she a widow will be, will be, will be, And this night she a widow will be.'
And a fair hair'd boy was he; 'I've a father and mother in fair Portsmouth town, And this night they will weep for me, for me, for me, And this night they will weep for me.'
And three times round went she; For the want of a lifeboat they both went down As she sunk to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea, As she sunk to the bottom of the sea.

There was a jolly miller once Liv'd on the river Dee He work'd and sang from morn till night, No lark more blithe than he And this the burden of his song For ever used to be "I care for nobody, no, not I, If nobody cares for me. "I live by my mill, she is to me Like kindred, child, and wife. I would not change my own degree For any other in life. This song shall pass from me to thee, And happy we will be, I care for nobody, no, not I, If nobody cares for me."
