BARGES Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light. Silently flows the river to the sea, And the barges too go silently. Barges, I would like to go with you, I would like to sail the ocean blue. Barges, have you treasures in your hold? Do you fight with pirates brave and bold? Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light. Starboard shines green and port is glowing red You can see them flickering far ahead. Barges, I would like to go with you, I would like to sail the ocean blue. Barges, have you treasures in your hold? Do you fight with pirates brave and bold? BLOWIN' IN THE WIND How many roads must a man walk down, Before you can call him a man? Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove sail, Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannonballs fly Before they're forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many years can a mountain exist Before it's washed to the sea? Yes, 'n' how many years can some people exist Before they're allowed to be free? Yes, 'n' how many times must a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn't see? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take 'Til he knows that too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind The answer is blowin' in the wind. CAN A WOMAN?

From the hills I gather courage Vision of a day to be Strength to lead and faith to follow, All are given unto me. Peace I ask of thee, O River, Peace, peace, peace. THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND 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 land was made for you and me. 1) 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. 2) I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts All around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me. 3) When the sun came shining then I was strolling And the wheat field waving and the dust clouds rolling A voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me. ROSE Rose, Rose, Rose, Rose, Will I ever see thee wed? I will marry at thy will, sire, At thy will. Ding, dong, ding, dong Wedding bells on an April morn Carve our names on a moss-covered stone, On a moss covered stone Hey, ho, nobody home Meat or drink or money, I have none Still, I will be marry Hey, ho, nobody home Ah, poor bird Take thy flight High above the sorrows On this sad, sad night I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills, I love the flowers, I love the daffodils. I love the fireside When all the lights are low. Boom dee a da, boom dee a da Boom dee a da, boom dee a da WHITE CORAL BELLS White coral-bells upon a slender stalk Lilies of the valley deck my garden walk. Oh don't you wish that you could hear them ring? That will happen only when the fairies sing GIRL SCOUTS TOGETHER Girls Scouts together, that is our song, Winding the old trails, rocky and long. Learning our motto, living our creed, Girl Scouts together in every good deed. Girl Scouts together, happy are we, Friendly to neighbors far o'er the sea. Faithful to country, loyal to home Known as true Girl Scouts wherever we roam LINGER Mm-hmm, I want to linger Mm-hmm, a little longer Mm-hmm, a little longer here with you. Mm-hmm, it's such a perfect night Mm-hmm, it doesn't seem quite right, Mm-hmm, that this should be our last with you. Mm-hmm, and come September Mm-hmm, we will remember, Mm-hmm, our camping days and friendships true. Mm-hmm, and as the years go by, Mm-hmm, I'll think of you and sigh, Mm-hmm, this is "good night" and not "good-bye". ON MY HONOR On my honor I will try, There's a duty to be done and I say "aye", There's a reason here for the reason up above, My honor is to try and my duty is to love 1) People don't need to know my name If I do them any harm then I'm to blame. If I help a Friend then I've helped me To open up my eyes that I might see. 2) I've tucked away a song or two, If you're feeling low there's one for you If you need a friend, then I will come And there's plenty more where I come from. 3) Come with me where the fire burns bright, You can see even better by firelight, You can learn even more by the campfire's glow, Than you can ever learn in a year or so. 4) We've made a promise we'll always keep, We'll pray so softly before we sleep, We'll be Girl Scouts together, and when we're gone, We'll still be trying and singing this song. WHENE'ER YOU MAKE A PROMISE Whene'er you make a promise, Consider well its importance And when made, Engrave it upon your heart. I Know A Place I know a place where no one ever goes. There's peace and quiet, beauty and repose. It's hidden in a valley beside a mountain stream, And lying there beside the stream I find that I can dream. Only of things of beauty to the eye; Snow peaked mountains a-tow'ring to the sky. Now I know that God made this place for me. One can imagine herself as in a dream, Climbing a mountain, or down a small ravine. The magic of the peace and quiet always will stay To make this place a haven each and every day. Oh how I wish I'd never have to leave, And all my life such beauty could receive! Now I know that God made this world for me. Rainbow of Children Chorus: We're a rainbow made of children We're an army just singing a song There's no weapon that can stop us Rainbow love is much too strong. I was born in Mississippi, Saying "Yes, Sir" to all the men. But I found it got me nowhere, So I'll never say it again. (chorus) I was taught that black was evil, I was taught that white was good. But when you become a Rainbow, Every color is understood. (chorus) We're a rainbow made of children. We're together hand in hand. And at the end of every Rainbow, May there be peace throughout the land. Today Chorus: 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 the morrow shall bring. (chorus) 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. RISE UP O FLAME Rise up O Flame By thy lights glowing Show to us beauty Vision and joy.
