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
Chorus:
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
- 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 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)
- 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?
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?
