ITSY BITSY SPIDER (EENSY WEENSY SPIDER)

Climbed up the waterspout

Down came the rain
And washed the spider out.

Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain

Climbed up the spout again!

OH SUSANNAH!
I come from Alabama with
my banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana,
my true love for to see

It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Susanna, don't you cry
Oh! Susanna,
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama with
my banjo on my knee
I had a dream the other night,
when everything was still
I thought I saw Susanna dear,
a coming down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth,
a tear was in her eye
Says I, I'm coming from Dixieland,
Susanna, don't you cry
I soon will be in New Orleans,
and then I'll look around
And when I find my gal Susanna,
I'll fall upon the ground

SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT
Swing low, Sweet Chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

I looked over Jordan and what did I see?
Coming for to carry me home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for the carry me home
If you get to heaven before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends that I'm coming too
Coming for the carry me home
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Coming for to carry me home
In my heart I know I'm heaven bound
Coming for to carry me home
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
This Land is your land
this land is my land
from California
to the New York Island
from the redwood forest
to the gulf stream water
this land was made for you and me
As I went walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land is made for you and me
I roamed and rambled
and followed my footsteps
O'er the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me a voice was sounding, saying
This land was made for you and me

TWINKLE, TWINKLE LITTLE STAR
Twinkle twinkle little star,
how I wonder what you are?
Up above the world so high ,
like a diamond in the sky

When the blazing sun is gone,
when he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
twinkle, twinkle all the night.

Then the traveller in the dark,
thanks you for your tiny spark,
He could not see which way to go,
if you did not twinkle so.

In the dark blue sky you keep,
and often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
'till the sun is in the sky.

As your bright and tiny spark
lights the traveller in the dark,
Though I know not what you are –
twinkle, twinkle little star.

YANKEE DOODLE
Yankee Doodle went to town,
a-riding on a pony
Stuck a feather in his cap
and called it macaroni
Yankee Doodle keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
and with the girls be handy
