Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Swinging Along (Gladys Jacobs) scout song
I remember singing this song at Camp Kitannawa (spelling?)in Michigan in the summer of 1962 and 1963. It was exactly as Masato posted it above! What wonderful memories it brings back of learning to swim, canoeing in the small lake and singing in the lodge and around the campfire. We girls stayed in cabins and there was a friendly rivalry between us. If I remember correctly, it was a Campfire Girls camp and I earned beads to put on the sash of my uniform. So this song may have been a Girl Scouts song, but the Campfire Girls sang it also! I loved singing this especially because singing in "rounds" produces such a beautiful harmonizing sound. Anyone else remember going to Camp Kitannawa? ????
