Subject: RE: Old Girl Scout Songs
I remember a couple I haven't heard elsewhere..this would be in SW Washington in the 1950's...one was ...long live the King, this is a good day or else we would not sing......taste before you buy singing oh what a Merry Land is England...then you would put a nursery rhyme in there..like a game...another I think is an old Czheck song translated into bad English..above a hill of gold and green a young boy's head is clearly/plainly seen....pretty tune....then I heard a version of Paddy works on the Railway from Mrs. Kavanaugh, our leader...that either I simplified or misremembered or perhaps it is a whole other version..we (or I) sang erie erie irie oh working on the railroad...
