GUEST,Vikki Appleton Fielden Origin: Peace of the River (G Gosling, V Wood) (35) RE: Lyr Req: Peace I ask of thee oh river 13 Oct 03


Hi Barabara & Tinker,

Thanks for your responses. Sorry not to respond quicker myself -- have been away from the computer for the last week or so.

Barbara, I was at Narrin in the late 60s (& early 70s), so I probably wouldn't have known the song leader you mentioned. Some of the songs you mention are familiar, though -- but more are not.

Gehlobit - no
Walk Shepherdess, Walk - yes, but not from camp (one of my Dad's fav songs)
The Billboard Song - yes, but (again) not from Narrin
Witchcraft - no
Kum By Yah - definitely
Jacob's Ladder - no
Man's Life's a Vapor - no
I'm Wild about Horns on Automobiles - yes! (that one brought a smile to my face...)
Stodala Pumpa - no
I'd like to be just like the Wind - no

Here are the songs I remember from Narrin:
Peace I Ask of Thee oh River (of course)
Sippin' Cider/The other day I met a bear
Spiderweb
There are Suitors at my Door
In the Land of Oden (sp?)
Tovishka - with hand motions
An Austrian Went Yodeling - with hand motions
The Spades (go Tulips together) - with hand motions
(Si si si) Playmate - with hand motions

The Happy Wanderer
I Know a Place
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
Land of the Silver Birch
(The Life of a) Voyageur

The Ship Titanic
Rise & Shine (& give God the glory glory)
Barges (of course)
If All the Raindrops (were lemon drops & gum drops)
L-O-double L-I (P-O-P spells Lollipop)
Roll Me Over in the Clover (a naughty one!)
Ho Young Rider
Hola Hee Hola Ho
I Had a Little Dog (named Do-fi)
Do Your Ears Hang Low?
