Daughter Dear

Fishes swim in water clear, water clear, water clear
Fishes swim in water clear my daughter dear
But the birds they fly up high, high up in the sky
The birds they fly up high my daughter dear
Serpents creep along the ground, along the ground, along the ground
Serpents creep along the ground my mother dear
But the birds they fly up high, high up in the sky
The birds they fly up high my mother dear
Boys and girls run round and round, round and round, round and round
Boys and girls run round and round my daughter dear
But I'm sure I wonder why, why is it we can't fly?
It would be grand up in the sky my daughter dear

How Do You Do?

One Misty Moisty Morning, when cloudy was the weather
I met and old man clothed all in leather
Clothed all in leather with a cap under his chin
How do you do?
How do you do?
And how do you do again!
One wild windy morning when dark was the sky
There I met a young man with a twinkle in his eye
With a twinkle in his eye and a beard upon his chin
How do you do?
How do you do?
How do you do again!
One white and frosty morning when snow was on the ground
I met a young girl twirling round and round
Twirling round in a red hat and a feather
How do you do?
How do you do?
And how are you altogether!
One wet and rainy morning when deep were the puddles
I met an old woman all in a muddle
All in a muddle with a bag upon her head
How do you do?
How do you do?
And I'm on my way to bed?

I know something you don't know, clucked the little red hen
Cockerels know the break of day, they know when
The sun is arising light up the day x 2
I know something you don't know, clucked the little red hen
I know the break of shell, I know when
Chicks will be hatching, breaking out of the egg x 2

Roads Go Ever Ever On
01:33
|

Roads go ever ever on x 2
Over rock and under tree
By caves where sun has never shone
Streams that never find the sea
Over snow by winter sown
Through the merry flowers of June
Over grass and over stone
Under mountains in the moon
Roads go ever ever on x 2
Under cloud and under star
Yet feet that wandering have gone
Turn at last to home afar
Eyes that fire and stone have seen
And horrors in the halls of stone
Look at least on meadows green
Trees and hills they long have known

Then We Can Go Dancing

One two, buckle my shoe x 3
Then we can go dancing
(Chorus)
Pom pom pom x 2
We turn around, we turn around
Pom pom pom
Then we can go dancing
Three four, clear the floor x 3
Then we can go dancing
(Chorus)
Five six, do high kicks x 3
Then we can go dancing
(Chorus)
Seven eight, don't be late x 3
Then we can go dancing
(Chorus)
Nine ten, let's do it again x 3
Then we can go dancing
(Chorus)

Who Saw The Petals
01:15

Who saw the petals drop from a rose?
"I" said the spider "but nobody knows"
Who saw the butterfly, who saw the bee
Drink from a honeysuckle?
Said the spider "Only me"
Who saw the ants marching all in a row?
"I" said the spider, "I'm the only one that knows"
Who saw the morning mist settle on the ground?
"I" said the spider, "I was the only one around"
