I always thought it was the "Hey bear!" song that one sings when you think you're near one! lol.gif

God, I am going to regret this someday!

I always though it was this one:
Quote:
The Happy Wanderer I love to go a-wandering, Along the mountain track, And as I go, I love to sing, My knapsack on my back. Chorus: Val-deri,Val-dera, Val-deri, Val-dera-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha Val-deri,Val-dera. My knapsack on my back. I love to wander by the stream That dances in the sun, So joyously it calls to me, "Come! Join my happy song!" I wave my hat to all I meet, And they wave back to me, And blackbirds call so loud and sweet From ev'ry green wood tree. High overhead, the skylarks wing, They never rest at home But just like me, they love to sing, As o'er the world we roam. Oh, may I go a-wandering Until the day I die! Oh, may I always laugh and sing, Beneath God's clear blue sky!
I have a version of it done by Brave Combo that Brian Curtis was nice enough to send me one day.

It's this one I'm sure: Mother's Lament (traditional) Are we rolling? A one, a two, a three, a four... A mother was washing her baby one night; The youngest of ten and a delicate mite. The mother was poor and the baby was thin; 'Twas naught but a skeleton covered with skin. The mother turned 'round for a soap off the rack. She was only a moment but when she turned back Her baby had gone, and in anguish she cried, "Oh, where has my baby gone?" The angels replied: Oh, your baby has gone down the plug hole. Oh, your baby has gone down the plug. The poor little thing was so skinny and thin, He should have been washed in a jug, in a jug. Your baby is perfectly happy; He won't need a bath anymore. He's a-muckin' about with the angels above, Not lost but gone before. Do you want to do it again?

Snowbrushy, I like that song, but wish they had not included the latin etc. It is overused and makes the singer sound like an ignoramus. I always try and mumble them. etc The whole song should have been done in English.

Non Retro.
Here's my favorite by Tull. Skating Away On The Thin Ice Of The New Day Meanwhile back in the year One --- when you belonged to no-one --- you didn't stand a chance son, if your pants were undone. `Cause you were bred for humanity and sold to society --- one day you'll wake up in the Present Day --- a million generations removed from expectations of being who you really want to be. Skating away --- skating away --- skating away on the thin ice of the New Day. So as you push off from the shore, won't you turn your head once more --- and make your peace with everyone? For those who choose to stay, will live just one more day --- to do the things they should have done. And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness: you feel you have to pray. Looking for a sign that the Universal Mind (!) has written you into the Passion Play. Skating away on the thin ice of the New Day. And as you cross the circle line, the ice-wall creaks behind --- you're a rabbit on the run. And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye --- shining in the setting sun. Well, do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense? Or that everybody's on the stage, and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience? Skating away on the thin ice of the New Day.

Oh Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace Like thoughts inside a dream Heed the path that led me to that place Yellow desert stream.

I only recently realized that "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" and "The Alphabet Song" have the same, exact tune. True story! (if I was going to lie about something, trust me - this wouldn't be it).

For some strange reason I always think of the song from Cheech and Chongs "Ear ache my eye" when I am marching. My momma talkin to me tryin to tell me how to live But I dont listen to her cause my head is like a seive My basketball coach he done kicked me off the team For wearin high heeled sneakers and acting like a queen My daddy he disowned me cause I wear my sisters clothes As long as I can have a limo and my orange hair He caught me in the bathroom with a pair of pantyhose Cause I'm a big rock star and I'm making lots of money And it dont bother me if people think I'm funny The worlds comin to an end and I dont even care Money, money, money, money, money And I only know three chords I'm so bloody rich I own apartment buildings and shopping centers rocker.gif

I would walk 500 miles... Speakers on, of course. Lyrics: (from Lyrics on Demand) When I wake up yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you When I go out yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you If I get drunk yes I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who gets drunk next to you And if I haver yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's havering to you But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles To fall down at your door When I'm working yes I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's working hard for you And when the money comes in for the work I'll do I'll pass almost every penny on to you When I come home yeah I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who comes back home to you And if I grow old well I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man who's growing old with you But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles To fall down at your door When I'm lonely yes I know I'm gonna be I'm gonna be the man whose lonely without you When I'm dreaming yes I know I'm gonna dream Dream about the time when I'm with you. But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more Just to be the man who walked 1000 miles To fall down at your door

I only remember a couple verses from songs I learned in grade school. I saw rain upon the river Joy is like the rain bit by bit the river grows then all at once it overflows Joy is like the rain I saw clouds upon the mountains Joy is like the clouds Sometimes silver sometimes gray Always sun not far away Joy is like the clouds and... Above the plains of gold and green a young boys head is plainly seen Ahoya hoya hoya... swiftly flowing river Ahoya hoya hoya... swiftly flowing river After reading about Tazz's Hood adventure and other's wild winter adventures, I like this one by Yes. (Jon Anderson/Chris Squire) A river a mountain to be crossed The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost Around the south side so cold that we cried Were we ever colder on that day A million miles away It seemed from all of eternity Move forward was my friend's only cry In deeper to somewhere we could lie And rest for the the day with cold in the way Were we ever colder on that day A million miles away It seemed from all of eternity The moments seemed lost in all the noise A snow storm a stimulating voice Of warmth of the sky Of warmth when you die Were we ever warmer on that day A million miles away It seemed from all of eternity The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost The river can disregard the cost And melt in the sky warmth when you die Were we ever warmer on that day a million miles away We seemed from all of eternity

"Happy Trails"?

"If we didn't live venturously, plucking the wild goat by the beard, and trembling over precipices, we should never be depressed, I've no doubt; but already should be faded, fatalistic and aged." - Virginia Woolf
