Thread Name: Origin: Barges (Girl Scout song)
Subject: RE: Origin: Barges (Girl Scout song)
i heard this version at Camp Huronda
Barges Verse 1 Out of my window looking in the night I can see the barges flickering light Starbort shining green And port is glowing red I can see the barges from my bed
Chorus Barges i would like to go with you I would like to sail the ocean blue Barges have you tresures in your hold Do you fight with pirates barve and bold
Verse2 Silently flows the river to the sea And the barges do go silently One of these days and it will not be long You will look for me and I'll be gone
Chorus Barges i would like to go with you I would like to sail the ocean blue Barges have you tresures in your hold Do you fight with pirates barve and bold
Verse 3 Hum
Chorus Barges i would like to go with you I would like to sail the ocean blue Barges have you tresures in your hold Do you fight with pirates barve and bold
And the story was there was a girl that was very very sick and she could see the barges from her bed. But before she could finish the song she died but she knew she was going to die so that is why she says One of these days and it ill not be long you will look for me and i'll be gone. You hum the third verse in her memory.
