Subject: RE: I'm Looking for Camp Songs
According to his brother Michael, "Soon after Phil Ochs arrived in NYC in 1962 he appeared on an album of camp songs......" for which he earned the much needed sum of 50 dollars. Full story can be found here: http://pobox.upenn.edu/~lapis/camp.html
The details are as follows:
Campers -- Camp Favorites (Cameo C-1047) 1963
Side 1 The Welcome Song [1:46] We'll Build a Bungelow [2:02] Polly Wolly Doodle [2:08] Gee Mom [2:13] Patsy Ory Ory Aye [2:11] Cannibal King [2:21]
Side 2 Hambone [3:11] Friends Friends Friends [1:49] I've Got Sixpence [2:00] A Thousand Years Ago [2:10] Adam and Eve [2:05] Hand me Down My Walkin' Cane [2:01]
All songs credited as "Traditional", Wyncote Music ASCAP.
If anyone would like the lyrics to any of these, please let me know. You will have to be patient though, as I will need to transcribe them from the tracks.
