Yankee Doodle

Author: Dr. Schamburg Hymnal: SoSR1948 #a116 (1948) First Line: Fath'r and I went down to camp Refrain First Line: Yankee Doodle, keep it up Lyrics: 1 Fath'r and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Good'in, And there we saw the men and boys As thick as hasty puddin'. Chorus: Yankee Doodle, keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy; Mind the music and the step and with the girls be handy. 2 And there we see a thousand men, As rich as Squire David; And what they wasted ev'ry day, I wish it could be saved. [Chorus] 3 And there was Captain Washington, Upon a slapping stallion, A-giving orders to his men; I guess there was a million. [Chorus] 4 And then the feathers in his hat, They look'd so very fine, ah! I wanted peskily to get To give to my Jemima. [Chorus] 5 And there I see a swamping gun, Large as a log of maple, Upon a mighty little cart; A load for father's cattle. [Chorus] 6 And every time they fired it off, It took a horn of powder; It made a noise like father's gun, Only a nation louder. [Chorus] 7 And there I see a little keg, Its head all made of leather, They knocked upon't with little sticks, To call the men together. [Chorus] 8 And Cap'n Davis had a gun, He kind o' clapt his hand on't, And stuck a crooked stabbing iron Upon the little end on't. [Chorus] 9 The troopers, too, would gallop up And fire right in our faces; It scared me almost half to death To see them run such races. [Chorus] 10 It scared me so I hooked it off, Nor stopped, as I remember, Nor turned about till I got home Locked up in mother's chamber. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: [Fath'r and I went down to camp]

O Canada

May the circling years thy pow'r expand, Thy sway and fame increase; May thy loyal sons united stand For brotherhood and peace.

Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms

Author: Thomas Moore Hymnal: SoSR1948 #a119 (1948) Lyrics: 1 Believe me, if all those endearing young charms, Which I gaze on so fondly today, Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms, Like fairy gifts, fading away, Thou would'st still be adored as this moment thou art, Let the loveliness fade as it will; And around the dear ruin, each wish of my heart Would entwine itself verdantly still! 2 It is not while beauty and youth are thine own, And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear, That the fervour and faith a soul can be known, To which time will but make thee more dear! No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets, But as truly loves on to the close; As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets, The same look which she turned when he rose. Languages: English Tune Title: [Believe me, if all those endearing young charms]

Ben Bolt

Author: Thomas Dunn English Hymnal: SoSR1948 #a121 (1948) First Line: Oh! don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt Lyrics: 1 Oh! don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt, Sweet Alice whose hair was so brown, Who wept with delight when you gave her a smile, And trembled with fear at your frown? In the old churchyard in the valley, Ben Bolt, In a corner obscure and alone, They have fitted a slab of the granite so gray, And sweet Alice lies under the stone; They have fitted a slab of the granite so gray, And sweet Alice lies under the stone. 2 Under the hickory tree, Ben Bolt, Which stood at the foot of the hill, Together we've lain in the noonday shade, And listen'd to Appleton's mill. The millwheel has fallen to pieces, Ben Bolt, The rafters have tumbled in, And a quiet that crawls round the walls as you gaze, Has follow'd the olden din; And a quiet that crawls round the walls as you gaze, Has follow'd the olden din. 3 And don't you remember the school, Ben Bolt, With the master so kind and so true, And the shaded nook by the running brook Where the fairest wild flowers grow? Grass grows on the master's grave, Ben Bolt, The spring of the brook is dry, And of all the boys that were schoolmates then, There are only you and I; And of all the boys that were schoolmates then, There are only you and I. 4 There is change in the things I loved, Ben Bolt, They have chang'd from the old to the new; But I feel in the depths of my spirit the truth there never was change in you. Twelve months twenty times have past, Ben Bolt, Since first we were friends, yet I hail Thy presence a blessing, thy friendship a truth, Ben Bolt of the salt-sea gale; Thy presence a blessing, thy friendship a truth, Ben Bolt of the salt-sea gale. Languages: English Tune Title: [Oh! don't you remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt]
