Hi, Jenna - I haven't heard this one. Could you post the lyrics if they're different from what's below?

This page says "Where the Rhododendrons Grow" was apparently published in 1936, Music by L.D. Pack; words by A.J. Ritchie.


Camp Strawderman has its own version:

RHODODENDRONS

I want to wake up in the morning
Where the rhododendrons grow,
Where the sum comes a-peepin’
In the cabin where I’m sleepin’
And the song birds say, “Hello.”
I want to wander through the wildwood
Where the fragrant breezes blow,
And come drifting back to Strawderman,
Where the rhododendrons grow.

Camp Lightfoot has this version:

RHODODENDRON

I want to wake up in the morning
Where the rhododendrons grow;
Where the sun comes a-peeping
Into where I'm a-sleeping
And the songbirds say, "Hello."
I want to wander thru' the wildwood
Where the fragrant breezes blow
And drift back to the mountains
Where the rhododendrons grow.

I want to climb up on the mountain
Where the rhododendrons grow;
Where the Lord is so near me
When I breathe He can hear me
And the whole world sings below.
I want to lay down all my burdens
And forget my worldly woes,
And stay here in West Virginia
Where the rhododendrons grow.
