“Lift Every Voice and Sing” Lyrics Lift ev’ry voice and sing, ‘Til earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of Liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the list’ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on ’til victory is won.
Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, ‘Til now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.
God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who has brought us thus far on the way; Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.

“Little Jack Horner” Lyrics Modern Version: Little Jack Horner Sat in the corner, Eating a Christmas pie; He put in his thumb, And pulled out a plum, And said ‘What a good boy am I.
“Little Jack Horner” Original Lyrics “Now he sings of Jacky Horner Sitting in the Chimney-corner Eating of a Christmas pie, Putting in his thumb, Oh Fie Putting in, Oh Fie! his Thumb Pulling out, Oh Strange! a Plum.”

“London Bridge Is Falling Down” As a Game London Bridge was indeed “falling down” several times over the years, being re-built stronger again and again. The song has become one of the most popular singing-games among kids over the world, being translated and adapted in many languages, especially in European countries such as Denmark: “Knippelsbro Gar Op og Ned”, France: “Pont chus”, Italy “Le porte” Germany: “Die Magdeburger Bruck” and Romania “Podul de piatra”.
How to play: Two kids are making an arch holding their hands up, face to face and the rest of them, are passing under the arch, one by one, creating a circle. They continue to walk under the arch, one by one in circle. When the last word of the verse is said (the “My fair Lady”) the two children who form the arch have to capture one child by dropping their hands down. The game continues until each kid is captured.

“Mairzy Doats” Lyrics I know a ditty nutty as a fruitcake Goofy as a goon and silly as a loon Some call it pretty, others call it crazy But they all sing this tune:
Mairzy doats and dozy doats And liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you? Yes! Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?
If the words sound queer And funny to your ear, A little bit jumbled and jivey Sing “Mares eat oats And does eat oats And little lambs eat ivy”
Oh! Mairzy doats and dozy doats And liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you? A kiddley divey too, wouldn’t you?

Oats Peas Beans and Barley Grow Lyrics (Chorus) Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow, Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow, Can you or I or anyone know How oats, peas, beans, and barley grow?
First the farmer sows his seed, Stands erect and takes his ease, He stamps his foot and claps his hands, And turns around to view his lands.
(Chorus)
Next the farmer waters the seed, Stands erect and takes his ease, He stamps his foot and claps his hands, And turns around to view his lands.
(Chorus)
Next the farmer hoes the weeds, Stands erect and takes his ease, He stamps his foot and claps his hands, And turns around to view his lands.
(Chorus)
Last the farmer harvests his seed, Stands erect and takes his ease, He stamps his foot and claps his hands, And turns around to view his lands.
(Chorus)

“Danny Boy” Lyrics Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling, It’s you, It’s you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow,— Oh, Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Avè there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

“Oh My Darling Clementine”Lyrics Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. In a cavern, in a canyon, excavating for a mine. Lived a miner forty-niner, and his daughter Clementine. Yes i love her, how i love her, thought her shoes were number nine. Herring boxes without topses, sandals were for Clementine. Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. Drove the horses to the water, every morning just at nine. Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foaming brine. Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine. But at last, I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine. Oh my darling, oh my darling. Oh my darling, Clementine, You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine. You were lost and gone forever, dreadful sorrow, Clementine.

Oh! Susanna Lyrics I come from Alabama With my banjo on my knee, I’m going to Louisiana, My true love for to see.
Oh, Susanna, Oh don’t you cry for me, For I come from Alabama, With my banjo on my knee.
It rained all night The day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susanna, don’t you cry.
Oh, Susanna, Oh don’t you cry for me, For I come from Alabama, With my banjo on my knee.
I had a dream the other night, When everything was still, I thought I saw Susanna, A-coming down the hill.
Oh, Susanna, Oh don’t you cry for me, For I come from Alabama, With my banjo on my knee.
The buckwheat cake, Was in her mouth, The tear was In her eye, Says I, I’m coming from the south, Susanna, don’t you cry.
Oh, Susanna, Oh don’t you cry for me, For I come from Alabama, With my banjo on my knee.

Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I’m gonna leave this town. Old Joe Clark walked downtown backwards. People asked him, “Why?” I come back for one more drink while wavin’ you good-bye! Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. Good-bye, Mitzi Brown. Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I’m gonna leave this town. Fare thee well, old Joe Clark. I’m gonna leave this town.

“On Top of Old Smokey” Lyrics On top of old Smokey, All covered with snow, I lost my true lover From courtin’ too slow.
From courtin’ too slow, dear, From courtin’ too slow, I lost my true lover From courtin’ too slow. On top of old Smokey, I went for to weep, For a false-hearted lover Is worse than a thief.
Is worse than a thief, dear, Is worse than a thief, For a false-hearted lover Is worse than a thief. For a thief, he will rob you, Of all that you have, But a false-hearted lover Will send you to your grave.
Will send you to your grave, dear, Will send you to your grave, But a false-hearted lover Will send you to your grave. He’ll hug you and kiss you, And tell you more lies, Than the ties of the railroad Or the stars in the skies.
The stars in the skies, dear, The stars in the skies, He’ll tell you more lies, dear, than the stars in the skies.

“Pop Goes the Weasel” Lyrics British version of the song: Half a pound of tuppenny rice, Half a pound of treacle. That’s the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel.
Up and down the City road, In and out the Eagle, That’s the way the money goes, Pop! goes the weasel.
“Pop Goes the Weasel” American version All around the Mulberry Bush, The monkey chased the weasel. The monkey stopped to pull up his sock, Pop! goes the weasel.
Half a pound of tuppenny rice, Half a pound of treacle. Mix it up and make it nice, Pop! goes the weasel.

Red River Valley From this valley they say you are going, We will miss your bright eyes and sweet smile, For they say you are taking the sunshine Which has brightened our pathways a while.
Chorus
Come and sit by my side if you love me; Do not hasten to bid me adieu, But remember the Red River Valley, And the girl that has loved you so true.
I’ve been thinking a long time, my darling, Of the sweet words you never would say, Now, alas, must my fond hopes all vanish? For they say you are going away.
Won’t you think of the valley you’re leaving, Oh, how lonely and sad it will be, Just think of the fond heart you’re breaking, And the grief you are causing to me.
From this valley they say you are going, When you go, may your darling go too? Would you leave her behind unprotected, When she loves no one other than you.
As you go to your home by the ocean, May you never forget those sweet hours, That we spent in the Red River Valley, And the love we exchanged ‘mid the flowers.
I have promised you, darling, that never Will a word from my lips cause you pain, And my life, it will be yours forever, If you only will love me again.
They will bury me where you have wandered, Near the hills where the daffodils grow, When you’re gone from the Red River valley, For I can’t live without you I know.

The Cat Came Back Lyrics Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own He had a yellow cat which wouldn’t leave its home; He tried and he tried to give the cat away, He gave it to a man goin’ far, far away.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The man around the corner swore he’d kill the cat on sight, He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite; He waited and he waited for the cat to come around, Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note, Told him for to take it up the river in a boat; They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a pound Now they drag the river for a little boy that drowned.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon, He told him for to take it to the man in the moon; The balloon came down about ninety miles away, Where he is now, well I dare not say.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
He gave it to a man going way out West, Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best; First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail, Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The cat it had some company one night out in the yard, Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it mighty hard; It caught the cat behind the ear, she thought it rather slight, When along came a brick-bat and knocked the cat out of sight
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last, Vessel only out a day and making water fast; People all began to pray, the boat began to toss, A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch, The cat was feeling hungry, thought she’d like ’em for a lunch; Climbing softly up the pole, and when she reached the top, Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied her in a knot.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The cat was a possessor of a family of its own, With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone; Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around, The air was full of kittens, and not one was ever found.
But the cat came back the very next day, The cat came back, we thought he was a goner But the cat came back; it just couldn’t stay away. Away, away, yea, yea, yea.
