CAMPFIRE SING A-LONGS Kick off the evening with some campfire songs for the kids. This popular selection can be noisy
and fun, and a good choice to tire the little ones out (even more) before bed. They are also
pretty easy to pick up quickly if the kids aren’t familiar with them.

Molly had a big red tent
Big red tent, big red tent

Everywhere that Molly camped
The tent was pitched just right
She set it up at camp one day,
Camp one day, camp one day
She set it up at camp one day
Which made her very proud
It kept the campers warm and safe
Warm and safe, warm and safe
It kept the campers warm and safe
And they slept so sound

These classic Girl Scout guides and Boy Scout songs will provide entertainment for everyone,
and are especially nostalgic for past and present members of the Guide and Scout move-
ments. Upbeat and fun, and surprisingly familiar even for non Guides and Scouts.
1.“Ging Gang Goolie”
“Ging gang goolie goolie goolie goolie watcha, Ging gang goo, ging gang goo.
Ging gang goolie goolie goolie goolie watcha, Ging gang goo, ging gang goo.
Hayla, oh hayla shayla, oh hayla shayla, shayla, oh-ho,

Shally wally, shally wally, shally wally, shally wally,
Oompah, oompah, oompah, oompah.
2.“Kookaburra”
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, Merry, merry king of the bush is he Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra! Gay your life must be. Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me.
3.” My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean”
“My Bonnie lies over the ocean, My Bonnie lies over the sea” My Bonnie lies over the
ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea, My Bonnie lies over the ocean, O bring back my Bonnie to me.
Chorus: Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me: Bring back, bring back, O bring
back my Bonnie to me. O blow ye winds over the ocean, O blow ye winds over the sea. O blow ye winds
over the ocean, And bring back my Bonnie to me.
Repeat chorus Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, Last night as I lay on my
pillow, I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead. Repeat chorus the winds have blown over the ocean, The
winds have blown over the sea, The winds have blown over the ocean, And brought back my Bonnie to
me. Repeat chorus My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank, the height of its contents to see, I lit a small
match to assist her, O Bring back my Bonnie to me.
Repeat chorus Last night as I lay on my pillow, Last night as I lay on my bed, I stuck my feet out of the
window, In the morning the neighbors were dead. Repeat chorus My mother makes beer in the bathtub,
My father makes synthetic gin, My sister makes fudge for a quarter, Would ja believe how the money
rolls in? Repeat chorus My mother, she drowned in the bathtub, My father, he died from his gin, My sis-
ter choked on her chocolate, My stars, what a fix I am in. Repeat chorus I tried making beer in the bath-
tub, I tried making synthetic gin, I tried making fudge for a living, Now look at the shape that I'm in.
4.”The Meatball Song Sung to the tune of On Top Of Old Smoky”
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door
It rolled down the garden, and under a bush
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush
The mush was as tasty, as tasty could be
And the very next summer it grew into a tree
The tree was all covered, all covered with moss
And on it grew meatballs, all covered with sauce
So if you have spaghetti, all covered with cheese
Hold onto your meatball, ‘cause someone might sneeze.
5. “Oh When The Saints Go Marching In”
(This song can also be sung as a call-and-response)
Oh, when the saints (oh when the saints)
go marching in (go marching in)
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the trumpet sounds its call
Lord, how I want to be in that number
When the trumpet sounds its call
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Oh, when the new world is revealed
Lord, how I want to be in that number,
When the new world is revealed ,
I want to be in that number,
When the saints go marching in

1. “Wagon Wheel”-Old Crow Medicine/Darius Rucker
Headed down south to the land of the pines I'm thumbin' my way to North Carolina Starin' up the road And pray to God I see headlights I made it down the coast in seventeen hours Pickin' me a bouquet of dogwood flowers And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh I can see my baby tonight
Chorus
So rock me mama like a wagon wheel Rock me mama any way you feel Hey mama rock me Rock me mama like the wind and the rain Rock me mama like a south-bound train Hey mama rock me
Runnin' from the cold up in New England I was born to be a fiddler in an old-time string band My baby plays the guitar I pick a banjo now Oh, the North country winters keep a-gettin' me And I lost my money playin' poker so I had to up and leave But I ain't a-turnin' back To livin' that old life no more
Repeat Chorus
Walkin' due south out of Roanoke I caught a trucker out of Philly Had a nice long toke But he's a-headed west from the Cumberland Gap To Johnson City, Tennessee And I gotta get a move on before the sun I hear my baby callin' my name And I know that she's the only one And if I die in Raleigh At least I will die free
Repeat Chorus
2. “Take Me Home Country Roads”-John Denver
Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour, she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home faraway
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads
3. “Let it Be”-The Beatles
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
3. “Let it Be”-The Beatles (Continued)
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Yeah, there will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
There will be an answer
Let it be
Let it be, let it be
Let it be, yeah, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom
Let it be
4. “Time of Your Life”-Green Day
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right
I hope you had the time of your life
5. “Sweet Caroline”-Neil Diamond
Where it began
I can't begin to knowin'
But then I know it's growing strong
Was in the spring
And spring became the summer
Who'd have believed you'd come along
Hands, touchin' hands
Reachin' out
Touchin' me
Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
But now I
Look at the night
And it don't seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two
And when I hurt
Hurtin' runs off my shoulders
How can I hurt when I'm with you
Warm, touchin' warm
Reachin' out
Touchin' me Touchin' you
Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Oh, no, no Sweet Caroline
Good times never seemed so good
I've been inclined
To believe they never would
Sweet Caroline
6. “Brown Eyed Girl”-Van Morrison
Hey where did we go
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl
You're my brown eyed girl
Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl
You're my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
So hard to find my way
Now that I'm all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You're my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (lying in the green grass)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (bit, bit, bit, bit, bit, bit)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (sha la la la la la)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
7. “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”-Johnny Cash
I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
Comin' for to carry me home
There was a band of angels, a-comin' after
me
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
I'm sometimes up, and I'm sometimes
down
Comin' for to carry me home
But but I know my soul is heavenly bound
Comin' for to carry me home
8. “Ring of Fire”-Johnny Cash
Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns The ring of fire, the ring of fire
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home
If you get there before I do
Comin' for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'm a-comin' too
Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot Comin' for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Comin' for to carry me home
And now they're comin' for to carry me home
9. “Sittin on the Dock of the Bay”-Otis Redding
Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evenin' comes
Watchin' the ships roll in
Then I watch 'em roll away again
(Chorus)
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide, roll away
I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay Wastin' time
(Verse 2)
I left my home in Georgia
And I headed for the Frisco Bay
'Cause I've got nothin' to live for
Looks like nothin's gonna come my way
(Chorus)
So I'm just come sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watchin' the tide roll away
Ooo, I’m sittin’ on the dock of the bay, wastin' time
(Bridge)
Looks like nothin's gonna change
Everything seems to stay the same I can't do what ten people tell me to do
So I guess I'll remain the same, yes
(Verse 3)
I'm sittin' here restin' my bones
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It’s two thousand miles I roamed
Just to make this dock my home
(Chorus)
Now I'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
10. “Stand by Me”-Ben E King
When the night has come And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
(Chorus)
So darlin', darlin', stand by me oh, stand by me
Oh, stand
Stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
Or the mountain should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
(Chorus)
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
(Interlude)
(Chorus)
And darlin', darlin', stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Woah, stand now
Stand by me, stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble, won't you stand by me? Oh, stand by me
Won't you stand now
Oh, stand, stand by me
And the rest is history
11. “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me”-Elton John
I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
Too late to save myself from falling
I took a chance and changed your way of life
But you misread my meaning when I met you
Closed the door and left me blinded by the light
(Chorus)
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
I can't find the right romantic line
But see me once and see the way I feel
Don't discard me just because you think I mean you harm
But these cuts I have they need love to help them heal
(Chorus)
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
(Chorus)
Don't let the sun go down on me
Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see
I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free, yeah
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
