Has anybody 'collected' the hoards of songs sung at gs camps?
I'm noticing that in this area, they're being replaced by a different type of song..and hate to think that the traditional ones might get lost.

My niece has gone to camp twice (same camp I worked at) and the only song she learned well enough to remember is the one about floating down the Delaware chewing on her underwear.
That song would have gotten me invited to not come back on camp after session break..

I never did completely buy the bedridden girl story. Mostly because we had that final verse--wondered how she supposedly finished it. It'll be interesting to see if this thread results in an older answer. Of course, I'll probably perpetuate the 'sick child' story to my girls by telling them that's what I learned but later learned that it had Spanish origins (or whatever the story turns out to be..if any comes to be at all)
