Please practice
1) Yesterday a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful when the sky was full of thunder
And tearful at the falling of a star
CHORUS:
And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game
2) Then the child moved ten times round the seasons
Skated over ten clear frozen streams
Words like when you're older must appease him
And promises of someday make his dreams
Chorus
3) Sixteen springs and sixteen summers gone now
Cartwheels turn to car wheels thru the town
Tell him take your time it won't be long now
So drag your feet to slow the circles down
Chorus
4) So the years spin, now the boy is twenty
Though his dreams have lost some grandeur true
There'll be new dreams, better and plenty
Before the last revolving year is through
Chorus
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar

And tearful at the falling of a star

And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can't return we can only look
Behind from where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game

Grade Five Songs
Log Driver’s Waltz
1. If you should ask any girl from the parish around what pleases her most from her head to her toes, She’ll say, “I’m not sure that it’s bus’ness of yours, but I do like to waltz with a log driver.
Chorus:
For he goes birling down, a down white water; That’s where the log driver learns to step lightly. It’s birling down, a down white water;
A log driver’s waltz pleases girls completely.”
2. When the drive’s nearly over I like to go down to see all the lads while they work on the river.
I know that come evening they’ll be in the town, and we all want to waltz with a log driver.
Chorus
3. To please both my parents I’ve had to give way and dance with the doctors and merchants and lawyers.
Their manners are ne but their feet are of clay, for there’s none with the style of a log driver.
Chorus
4. Now I’ve had my chances with all sorts of men, but none is so ne as my lad on the river.
So when the drive’s over, if he asks me again,
I think I will marry my log driver.
Chorus
Over the Sea to Skye
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, say, could that lad be I?---------
Mer-ry of soul, he sailed on a day o-ver the sea to Skye.------------
Give me a – gain all that was there, give me the sun
that shone.-------
Give me the eyes, give me the soul,
give me the lad that’s gone-------------
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, say, could that lad
be I?--------------
Mer –ry of soul, he sailed on a day o-ver the sea to Skye.---------
Bil-low and breeze, is-lands and seas,
mountains of rain and sun.-------
All that is good, all that was fair, all that was me
is gone.-------
Sing me a song of a lad that is gone, say, could that lad be I?---------
Mer-ry of soul, he sailed on a day o-ver the sea to Skye.------------
Grade Three
Bridge Over Troubled Water
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Instrumental)
When your weary, feelin’ small,
When tears are in your eyes
I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down--------
(Instrumental)
When your down and out
When your on the street---------
When evening falls so hard
I’ll comfort you---------
I’ll take your part-----
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down-------
(Instrumental)
When you’re weary-------
Feelin’ small-------------
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
(Instrumental)
When your weary, feelin’ small,
When tears are in your eyes
I’ll dry them all
I’m on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can’t be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down--------
(Instrumental)
When your down and out
When your on the street---------
When evening falls so hard
I’ll comfort you---------
I’ll take your part-----
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down-------
(Instrumental)
When you’re weary-------
Feelin’ small-------------
