I know some, from an old camp song:

Down by the mission, down by the fountain, there is an old oak tree
Down by the mission, down by the fountain where my love told me...
(Chorus)
Way down in Santa Fe, I killed a man one day
(Think there's another line but don't know it)
(Chorus)
I met a stranger, his name was danger (?) Danger told me "Ride."
(Chorus)
And now if I return, they will hang me, up from the old oak tree
Down by the mission, down by the fountain, where my love told me...
(Chorus)

That's rather incomplete and off the top of the head. There was a thread a while ago about camp songs, or starting a camp song archive of some sort, but I don't remember what came of it. I'd link you to it but I'm HTML illiterate. This song may not be in there, but you can check it (the thread) for other sources by doing a forum search and putting "camp song" in the 'body' box. Good luck!
