Three little angels Three little angels, all dressed in white, Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite, But the kite string was broken, Down they all fell, Instead of getting to heaven they all went to Two little angels...... One little angel..... Three little devils, all dressed in red, Tried to get to heaven on the end of a bed But the bed knob was broken Down they all fell, Instead of getting to heaven they all went to Two little devils ....... One little devil ...... Don't be mistaken, don't be misled, Instead of getting to heaven They all went to BED! Three Craws Three craws sat upon the wa', Sat upon the wa', sat upon the wa'-a'-a'-a', Three craws sat upon the wa' On a cold and frosty morning.
The second craw fell and broke his jaw… The third craw was greetin' for his maw… The fourth craw he wisnae there at a'… And that's a', absolutely a'…

a girl who is gentle, loving and kind. Many the maidens bright are their eyes. How shall he find the one who is wise? Maiden, maiden, can you explain What can grow, and never needs rain? Which is the fire that burns through the years? Which is the sorrow deeper than tears? Listen, listen while I reply: A stone can grow and always be dry; Love that is true will burn through the years; When a heart cries, it cries without tears. Waltzing Matilda Once a jolly swagman camped by a Billabong Under the shade of a Coolabah tree And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" Chorus Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me? And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" Down come a jumbuck to drink at the water hole Up jumped a swagman and grabbed him in glee And he sang as he stowed him away in his tucker bag "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me'". Chorus Up rode the Squatter a riding his thoroughbred Up rode the Trooper - one, two, three "Where's that jumbuck you've got in your tucker bag?", "You'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me". Chorus But the swagman he up and jumped in the water hole Drowning himself by the Coolabah tree, And his ghost may be heard as it sings in the Billabong, "Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?" Chorus The wee Kirkcudbright centipede The wee Kirkcudbright centipede she was very sweet. She was awfully proud of every one of her hundred feet. Early every morning her neighbours came to glance, And she always entertained them with a beautiful little dance. Chorus As leg number 94 gave 95 a shunt, Legs numbers one and two were twisting out in front. As legs numbers nine and ten were wriggling up the side, Seventy three and seventy four did the Electric Slide. Her neighbor Jenny Longlegs with jealousy was mad, She went out and bought herself a pencil and a pad. She came round every morning and she made a careful note Of every step the centipede made, and this is what she wrote: Chorus Armed with exact notation, young Jenny Longlegs tried, To dance just like the centipede, but she failed and nearly cried, She grabbed hold of the centipede, and she said "Now have a look. And show me how you do these steps I've written in my book!" Said the centipede, "Do I do that?" and tried to demonstrate; Well, she never gave it a thought before, and she didn't do too great, Her hundred legs got twisted and she wound up in a tangle, She fractured fourteen shinbones, thirteen kneecaps and an ankle. Legs numbers one and two got tied with three and four, Legs numbers five and six got trampled on the floor, Leg number seventy was attacked by number ten, Ninety eight and ninety nine may never dance again. Now the wee Kirkcudbright centipede she suffered terrible pain, And all of us were very surprised that she ever danced again; And now she tells her neighbours everyone who comes to see, "Never try an explanation of what comes naturally." Chorus When I First Came to This Land When I first came to this land, I was not a wealthy man So I got myself a shack, I did what I could And I called my shack, "Break my back" But the land was sweet and good, I did what I could
So I got myself a farm, I did what I could And I called my farm, "Muscle in my arm" And I called my shack, "Break my back" But the land was sweet and good, I did what I could
Duck… "Out of luck" Donkey… "Horse gone Wonky" Wife… "Run for your life" Son… "My work done"
Yellow bird, Up high in banana tree, Yellow bird, You sit all alone like me Did your lady frien', Leave thee nest again? That is very sad, Make me feel so bad, You can fly away, In the sky away, You're more lucky than me. Chorus I also have a pretty gal, She not with me today, They all the same The pretty gal, Make them the nest, Then they fly away. Chorus Wish that I were a yellow bird, I fly away with you, But I am not a yellow bird, So here I sit, Nothin' else to do. Chorus Let her fly away, On the sky away, Picker coming soon, Pick from night to noon, Black and yellow you, Like banana too, He might pick you someday. Chorus Young Rider Young Rider, apple cheeked one Come hither rider On your steed so proud and prancing Come hither rider No matter where I ride Slavic mountains by my side Dushvadonia ( x2) Directory: curriculum -> music curriculum -> Curriculum Vitae curriculum -> Curriculum framework for an inquiry-based, interdisciplinary unit of study curriculum -> General Information curriculum -> James R.
