Taps
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

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!
