Day is done, Gone the sun
From the Lakes, From the hills, From the sky
All is well, Safely rest
God is nigh.
Cub Scout Vespers
Softly falls the light of day,
As our campfire fades away,
Silently each Cub should ask,
Have I done my daily task,
And before I go to rest,
Can I say I’ve done my best,
Have I tried in every way
To live the Cub Scout Law today.

This Land is Your Land
- Woodie Guthrie
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land.
From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters.
This was made for your and me.
As I went walking, that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley.
This land was made for you and me. (Chorus)
I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me. (Chorus)
When the sun came shining and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me. (Chorus)

Blowing in the Wind
- Bob Dylan
How many roads must a man walk down
Before they call him a man
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
How many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many years must a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
How many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
How many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just don't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind
How many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
How many years must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
How many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Five-hundred Miles
If you miss the train I'm on
You will know that I am gone
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles
A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
A hundred miles, a hundred miles
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.
Chorus:
Lord, I'm one, Lord, I'm two,
Lord, I'm three, Lord, I'm four
Lord, I'm five-hundred miles away from home
Away from home, away from home,
Away from home, away from home
Lord, I'm five-hundred miles away from home
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name
Lord, I can't go back home this way
This-a way, this-a way,
This-a way, this-a way, this-a way
Lord I can't go back home this-a way. (Chorus)

God Bless My Underwear
(Tune: God Bless America)
God bless my underwear, my only pair
Stand beside them, and guide them
As they lay in a heap on the chair
From the washer, to the dryer,
To the drawer, to my rear
God bless my underwear, my only pair
God bless my underwear, or I’d be bare.

If I Had a Hammer
- Pete Seeger
If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land
I'd hammer out danger, I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out the love between, my brothers and sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell, I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land
I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land
I'd sing out danger, I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land
Well I've got a hammer, and I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing, all over this land
It's the hammer of justice, It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land

I've Got Sixpence
I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence
I've got sixpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And twopence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
Chorus:
No cares have I to grieve me,
No pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm as happy as a lark, believe me.
As we go rolling, rolling home.
Rolling home (rolling home)
Rolling home (rolling home)
By the light of the silvery moon
Happy as the day when we line up for our pay
As we go rolling, rolling home
I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly fourpence
I've got fourpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
I've got twopence, jolly, jolly twopence
I've got twopence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
I've got no pence, jolly, jolly no pence . . .
I've got no pence, to last me all my life
I've got no pence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!

The Happy Wanderer
I love to go a wandering
Along the mountain track
And as a go I love to sing
My knapsack on my back
Valderi, Valdera, Valderi
Valdera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Valderi, Valdera
My Knapsack on my back
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me
Come join my happy song
I wave my hat to all I meet
And they wave back to me
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From every greenwood tree
High overhead the skylarks wing
They never rest at home
But just like me they love to sing
As o'er the world we roam
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die
And may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky

Today
- Randy Sparks
Today while the blossoms still cling to the vine
I'll taste your strawberries, I'll drink your sweet wine
A million tomorrows shall all pass away
Ere I forget all the joy that is mine today.
I'll be a dandy, and I'll be a rover.
You'll know who I am by the song that I sing.
I'll feast at your table, I'll sleep in your clover.
Who cares what tomorrow shall bring.
I can't be contented with yesterday's glory.
I can't live on promises, winter to spring.
Today is my moment, and now is my story.
I'll laugh and I'll cry and I'll sing.

America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on Thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America!
America!
God shed His grace on Thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!

The Titanic
Oh they built the ship Titanic
To sail the ocean blue
And they thought they had a ship
That the water would never go through;
But the Lord's Almighty hand
Said that ship would never land,
It was sad when that great ship went down
Chorus:
It was sad. It was sad.
It was sad when the great ship went down.
(to the bottom of the...)
Husbands and wives,
Little children lost their lives
It was sad when the great ship went down.
They were not far from England
And headed from the shore
When the rich refused
To associate with the poor
So they kept them down below
Where they were the first to go
It was sad when that great ship went down. (Chorus)
Oh, they lowered the lifeboats down
To the dark and raging sea,
When the band struck up with,
"Nearer My God to Thee."
Little children wept and cried
As the waves washed oe’r the side
It was sad when the great ship went down. (Chorus)

They Call the Wind Maria
Away out here they have a name
For wind and rain and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe
And they call the wind Maria
Chorus: Maria, Maria, They call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around
Sets the clouds a flying
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were out there dying
Before I knew Maria's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a gal and she had me
And the sun was always shining
But then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gosh darn lost
Not even God may find me
Now I'm a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Maria, blow my love to me
I need my gal beside me
Out here they have a name
For wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone
There ain't no name for lonely

Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine.
Chorus:
Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling, Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine. (Chorus)
Drove she ducklings to the water
Every morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine. (Chorus)
Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles soft and fine,
But alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine. (Chorus)
Then the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to peak and pine,
Thought he oughter join his daughter,
Now he's with his Clementine. (Chorus)

In my dreams she still doth haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine;
Though in life I used to hug her,
Now she's dead, I draw the line. (Chorus)
Tarzan of the Apes
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes
I like bananas, coconuts and grapes
That's why they call me: TARZAN OF THE APES!
We are the Cub Scouts
We are the Cub Scouts,
Mighty, mighty Cub Scouts.
Everywhere we go,
People want to know,
Who we are,
so we tell them…
My Country Tis of Thee
My country, 'tis of thee,
sweet land of Liberty,
of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrim's pride,
from ev'ry mountain side
let freedom ring.
