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 Grade Five SongsLog 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 ThreeBridge 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------------- Monday/Thursday: 11:30-12:00
