MICHAEL
Michael row your boat ashore, alleluia
MIchael row your boat ashore, alleluia.

Jordan River is chilly and cold, alleluia
Chills the body but not the soul, alleluia.

River is deep and the river is wide, alleluia
Milk and honey on the other side, alleluia

MIchael row your boat ashore, alleluia
MIchael row your boat ashore, alleluia.
 
THIS CAMP IS YOUR CAMP
This camp is your camp
This camp is my camp
From Central Valley To the Catskill Mountains
From the upper lakes To the lower twin
This camp was made for you and me.
This camp is your camp
This camp is my camp
To learn and practice
Pioneering and nature
To make new friends
And keep the old
This camp was made for me and you.

(Written by Carol Kintler Bonapace and Janice Tresca
while they were at Tawanka in 1964 )
 
THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine
let it shine! let it shine! let it shine!

All around the town, I’m gonna let it shine . . .
Everywhere that I may go . . .
In my daily work . . .
For the poor and hungry folks . . .
free of fear and hatred. . .
Trustin’ in the Lord. . .
Building a new world. . .
Put it under a bushel - No!
. . . Ain’t nobody gonna “woof” it out
 
YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE
CHORUS:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You’ll never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head and I cried

CHORUS

I’ll always love you and make you happy-
If you will only stay the same
But if you leave me to love another
You’ll regret it all someday

CHORUS
 
LINGER

Linger
Mm, mm, I'd like to linger
Mm, mm, a little longer
Mm, mm, a little longer here with you
Mm, mm, its such a perfect night
Mm, mm, it doesn't seem quite right
Mm, mm, that it should be my last with you
Mm, mm, and come December
Mm, mm, I will remember
Mm, mm, our campfire bright and friendships true
Mm, mm, and as the years go by
Mm, mm, I'll think you you and sigh
Mm, mm, this is goodnight and not goodbye
to love another
You’ll regret it all someday

GREENSLEEVES

Alas, my love, you do me wrong
To cast me off discourteously,
And I have lovéd you so long,
Delighting in your company.

Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy.
Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, A
nd who but my Lady Greensleeves.

I have been ready at your hand
To grant whatever you would crave.
I have both wagéd life and land,
Your love and goodwill for to have.
I bought thee petticoats of the best,
The cloth so fine as might be.
I gave thee jewels for thy chest,
And all this cost I spent on thee.

Chorus:
Greensleeves was all my joy.
Greensleeves was my delight.
Greensleeves was my heart of gold, A
nd who but my Lady Greensleeves.
