This is the 1963 edition I had when I was in Boy Scouts. It claims to have 150 songs - the old edition plus 50 new ones. I also have a 1995 printing of the 1970 edition, but I don't think any of the songs are different.

The other day I chanced to meet a soldier friend of mine
There aloft in a soft and friendly breeze
There are snakes
There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
There's a Long, Long Trail
There's Something About a Boy Scout
There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
The Sons of the prophet were hardy and bold
There was a little Dutchman
There were three jolly fishermen
This old man
Three Blind Mice
Three Fishermen Jolly
Three Pirates
Three Wood Pigeons

We're Here for Fun
We're on the Upward Trail
We're the Boy Scouts of America
Were you ever in Quebec, stowing timber on the deck?
What's the Matter With...
When Israel was in Egypt's land
When the Saints Go Marching In
When you come to the end of a Boy Scout day
Where, oh where, oh where is Susie?
Work for the Night Is Coming
Yawning in the Morning
Y'heave ho! my lads, the wind blows free
Yodeling song
You Can Dig My Grave
You Can Tell a Scout
You gotta jump down
I'm sorry, but I don't like this anywhere as much as I like the Girl Scout songbooks. I used to do song workshops at Scout training sessons, but the Powers That Be always pushed me to teach songs from the Scout Songbook. It was no secret that I didn't like the Boy Scout Songbook. Look at all the good songs they changed into Boy Scout propaganda songs.
