Thank you everyone. Sorry I've been away so long - I was on a long weekend in London, without internet access. --- Les from Hull: that was it! Thank you. I can't imagine Native Indians fighting with bricks, though... --- As to the others - I hardly recognise any of the songs (and I can't help with the "One is silver and the other is gold" song, I'm sorry). I agree with Lizabee in that they do seem to be like little folk groups. Some groups obviously are more religious than others - I never did any hymns or psalms in Rainbows, Brownies or Guides. --- LindsayInWales: The only ones I recognise are "We are the Men of the Old Dun Cow" (we called it "we are the red men") and the ending one:
Day is done Gone the sun From the sea From the hills From the sky All is Well Safely Rest God is Nigh
Though I also rememeber the ending song from Rainbows, to the sound of bells ringing the hour. We all joined hands in a circle and swung our arms wildly like bells. I still sometimes sing in quietly in my head when I hear bells ringing it out:
Oh Lord our God Thy chil-dren call Grant us Thy peace And bless us all [run in to the centre, hands still joined; whisper]Goodnight. [run out, hands still joined; bellow]GOODNIGHT!!!
--- Songs I sang in Rainbows/Brownies/Guides include: -We are the red men / We are the Men of the Old Dun Cow -Everywhere we go -Alice the Camel -3 Little Angels
And that's all I can remember at the moment, sorry.
