Campfire / Grace Song lyrics

Hi Guides, here are the lyrics for the campfire songs/grace.

Campfire songs:

Jamaican Farewell

Down the way where the nights are gay

And the sun shines daily on the mountain top

I took a trip on the 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

Sounds of laughter everywhere

And the dancing girls swaying to and fro

I must declare my heart is there

Though I have been from Maine to Mexico

Chorus

Linger

Hmm… I want to linger here

Hmm… A little longer here

Hmm… A little longer here with you

Hmm… It’s such a perfect night

Hmm… It doesn’t seem quite right

Hmm…This is our last night here with you

Hmm… And come September

Hmm… I will remember

Hmm… Our camping days and friendship true

Hmm… And as the years go by

Hmm… I think of you and sigh

Hmm… It’s just goodnight and not goodbye

Manito:

I love my Manito yes I do (x3)

I love my Manito but I won’t tell who!
I’ve got a feeling warm and gay
As she cast her eyes my way
I’ll reveal her name one day
But who she is I will not say
I love my Manito yes I do (x3)
I love my Manito but I won’t tell who!

Princess Pat:

The Princess Pat

(The Princess Pat)

Lived in a tree

(Lived in a tree)

She sailed across

(She sailed across)

The seven seas

(The seven seas)

She sailed across

(She sailed across)

The channel two

(The channel two)

And she took with her

(And she took with her)

A rickabamboo

(A rickabamboo)

*Chorus*

A rickabamboo

(A rickabamboo)

Now what is that

(Now what is that)

It's somethin' made

(It's somethin' made)

For the Princess Pat

(For the Princess Pat)

It's red and gold

(It's red and gold)

And poiple too

(And poiple too)

That's why it's called

(That's why it's called)

A rickabamboo.

(A rickabamboo)

Now Captain Jack

(Now captain Jack)

And his loyal crew

(And his loyal crew)

They sailed across

(They sailed across)

The channel two

(The channel two)

But their ship sank

(But their ship sank)

And yours will too

(And yours will too)

Unless you take

(Unless you take)

A rickabamboo

(A rickabamboo)

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Now the Princess Pat

(Now the Princess Pat)

Had a son named Drew

(Had a son named Drew)

He liked to ride

(He liked to ride)

His kangaroo

(His kangaroo)

But he got lost

(But he got lost)

And you will too

(And you will too)

If you don't take

(If you don't take)

A rickabamboo!

(A rickabamboo! )

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Titanic

They built a ship Titanic

To sail the ocean blue

They thought they built a ship

Where no water can go through

But the lord of mighty hands

Knew the ship will never land

They were sad when the big ship went down

Oh they were sad (SO SAD) x2

Oh they were sad when the big ship went down

To the bottom where the husbands and wives

And the children lost their lives

They were sad when the big ship went down

New friend found

As we walk to the left

As we walk to the right

As we walk, as we walk

As we walk all night

With a heel and a toe

And a half turn around

With a heel and a toe

And a new friend found

Canadian Vesper

Softly falls the light of day
As our camp fire fades away
Silently each Guide should ask
Have I done my daily task?
Have I kept my honour bright?
Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to Be Prepared?

Grace:

Chew Your Food (Tune: Row Row Row Your Boat)

Chew chew chew your food

Gently through your meal

The more you chew the less you eat

The better you will feel

Bless This Food (Tune: Jingle Bells)

Bless this food (x2)

Bless this very meal

God you are so good to me

This is how I feel

Adam’s Family Grace:

Da da da da (snap fingers x2)

Da da da da da da da da da da da da (snap fingers x2)

We thank you God for giving

The food we eat for living

We thank you God for feeding us

Da da da da (snap fingers x2)

Da da da da da da da da da da da da (snap fingers x2)

Thank you for the world so sweet:

Thank you for the world so sweet, ho hum

Thank you for the food we eat, yum yum

Thank you for the birds that sing a ling a ling

Thank you God for everything, Amen

Superman:

Thank you God for giving us food (x2)

For the food that we eat and the people we meet

Thank you God for giving us food

Ten big Thank Yous to God: (Ten little indians)

One little two little three little thank yous

Four little five little six little thank yous

Seven little eight little nine little thank yous

Ten big thank yous to God

Lovely Treat (Tune: This Old Man):

Bread and jam (x2)

I am grateful, yes I am

I thank God kindly for the food I eat

Thank him for this lovely treat

Do put in an effort to familiarize with these songs, and all the best for annual camp!

Cheers,

Yi Hui
