Subject: Origins: folk song
From: GUEST,RRM

heard this one?

Living in tents and cabins under watch of God,
He made the pathways that our feet have troughed,
I love to live and live to love for all these wonderful things,Ah boom-de-awed, uh,boom-de-awed,uh, boom-de-awed,uh boom.

our life is sharing, learing how to live
friendships that last as long as we shall live,
I love to live and live to love for all these wonderful things,Ah boom-de-awed, uh,boom-de-awed,uh, boom-de-awed,uh boom.

I learned this song at Camp Nawakwa, a campfire Girls camp in So. calif. in the 60's and need to find the author and pubilisher for recording info.
I don't even know the name of the song but 'Living in tents and cabins'seems like it might be it. . .

anybody out there know anything to help me??
thanks, RRM

All These Wonderful Things

I love the mountains. I love the rolling hills.
I love the flowers and the daffodils.
I love to live, and live to love,
For all these wonderful things...
Boom de ad ah Boom de ah da, etc.

Living in tents and cabins under the watch of God,
He made the pathways that our feet have trod.
So I will live, and live to love,
For all these wonderful things...
Boom de ah da, etc.

I love the clouds, shining up above.
I have a friend that's shown me faith and love.
So I will live, and live to love,
For all these wonderful things...
Boom de ah da, etc.

I love the mornings, I love the sunrise.
I love the evenings and the starry skies.
So I will live, and live to love
For all these wonderful things...
Boom de ah da, etc., etc. Boom!

Hmmm. Sounds like a mix of what I learned of I Love the Mountains and Land of the Silver Birch.

Interesting site to google. There are many other songs printed there and the writers are given credit. That said, I have seen many versions on the www under titles like, "I love the flowers" or I love the mountains". None of the sites credit an author.
