I've been looking for this song for awhile. I had to guess at the lyrics some because they aren't on the back of the album. The 1965 issue of It's a Small World, LP (record) Pictured here: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/WALT-DISNEY-ITS-SMALL-WORLD-18-FAVORITE-FOLK-SONGS-ALBUM-RECORD-LP-1965-/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/$(KGrHqV,!mEE8MRMnkU2BPPcQr0,3g~~60_57.JPG This has the lyrics cited by: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Subject: RE: Lyr Req: camp song about home in tyrol From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 02 Aug 08 - 11:55 AM Great, great. I'm glad we found Stephen's song. Now, to get back to 'Peter's fountain,' which is a rough translation of the other song we've been discussing. I believe a 'Bruenne' (sp)is a well or spring. I sang this song as an eighth-grader in Milwaukeeland, and the words were leearned were more faithful to the original. The tune was the same as Joe's MIDI above. Oh, I go to Peter's fountain and what do I hear? From the misty swamp far away, cuckoo calling so clear. 'Tween Easter and Whitsuntide, all the snow melts away. Then my girl goes and marries, leaving me in dismay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Except that for some un-rhyming reason, they've made the last word "Distress." and I hear the chorus a little differently. I won't attempt to write it down. But - I have the album. So, if anyone wants here, I can try to get it into an MP3 format and put it up. Thanks so much you all for helping me re-discover it!
