GUEST,Kerry Origin: Barges (Girl Scout song) (141* d) RE: Origin of: 'Barges' (Girl Scout song) 20 Oct 07

Yes, we still do sing Barges today in Scouting. I learned it when I was just a wee little Brownie scout back in the 1960's and still teach it too all my little scouts today. The old version of Barges is the one that I learned and still teach.
    Out of my window, looking in the night
    I can see the barges flickering lights.
    Silently flows the water to the sea
    And the barges do go silently.

    Barges, I would like to go with you
    I would like to sail the ocean blue.
    Barges, is there treasure 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 lights.
    Starboard is glowing green and port is glowing red.
    I can see the barges far ahead.

    Chorus again and then hum the third verse.
