BARGES
Public Domain

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea
As the barges do go silently.

CHORUS: Barges, I would like to go with you
I would like to sail the ocean blue
Barges have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red
I can see the barges far ahead.
CHORUS

MAKE NEW FRIENDS

Make new friends, but keep the old,
One is silver and the other gold.
A circle is round, it has no end,
That's how long I want to be your friend.


REACH OUT IN LOVE
Public Domain

Reach out, reach out in love, and we'll show you that you care
If you help to fill a need, it will show that you're aware
There's so much to share if you really care
So much love to give, so much life to live
Reach out, reach out in love and you'll truly show you care.
There are children in the world those who have no food to eat
Tattered rags upon their backs, broken sandals on their feet
When we thank our Lord for the giftls He gives
Do we ever think how our sister lives?
Reach out, reach out in love and you'll truly show you care!


ROSE (Lovely Two Part Round)

Rose, rose, rose, rose,
Will I ever see thee wed?
I will marry at thy will, sire at thy will.
Ding dong, ding dong
Wedding bells on an April morn.
Carve our names on a moss covered stone
On a moss covered stone.

When the rivers flow uphill, o le lay o ba hee ah
Or the fish begin to fly, o le lay o ba hee ah
Or the day before I die, o le lay o ba hee ah

And the river flowed uphill, o le lay o ba hee ah
And the fish began to fly, o le lay o ba hee ah
And the day before I died, o le lay o ba hee ah

interesting, it took a while to get the knack of it, though.)

Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, Tzena, can't you hear the music playing
