Subject: Lyr Add: THE PADDLE SONG
Oh golly--this takes me back. My dad took Scouts to Charlie Somers Canoe base in Minnesota lots of times, and we all learned this. Here, my friend, and thanks for the memories!

The Paddle Song
< 3 part round

Our paddles keen and bright,
Flashing like silver;
Swift as the wild goose flight,
Dip, dip, and swing.

Dip, dip, and swing them back,
Flashing like silver;
Swift as the wild goose flight,
Dip, dip and swing.

repeat

There might be more, but that is all I ever learned.
