bet Origin: Barges (Girl Scout song) (141* d) RE: Origin of: BARGES (Girl Scout song) 25 Aug 03


I learned this song around 1955 I think.   When I moved to the school I am now teaching in they had a really old out-dated series of books that they were teaching out of. I was delight to find this song in the 3rd or 4th grade book (I'm getting OLD) and can't remember the series name or with grade level but I'll look in the morning and get back to you. I don't really know the origin but it was an old song when I learned it in Scouts. bet
    Hi, Bet - I checked our School Songbook Index Permathread, and didn't find "Barges." We have indexed dozens of books, but no "barges" in any of them. If you can tell us the name of the book that has the song, I'd really appreciate it. This song has been a puzzle here for a long time. I've seen it in print only in Girl Scout songbooks.
    Thanks.
