Scout Songs

"Davy, Davy Crocket--- The King Of The Wild Frontier!"

Bill

Okay, the one when I was a Scout. Sorry I can't link you to it, but maybe you can come up with some minor and sinister chords. Ready?

"You better watch out when the hearse comes by
"Cause you may be the next to die....

They wrap you up in a bloody sheet
And stick you down about 6 feet deep.

Then all goes well for about a week
And then your nose begins to leak

The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
Start to play Pinockle on your snout

They eat your eyes, they eat your nose
And eat the cheese between your toes

Your guts roll out like whipping cream
And turn your face a slimy green....

PLEAAASE Pass the gravy!!!!

This may not be correct as far as lyrics go, but if you take your Scouts on a trip and the mood is just right, they may not sleep too well.

Bwah

PS: And don't forget to take them "Snipe Hunting".......

Well you might check out this topic right here on good 'ol Chordie!  http://www.chordie.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=19499
There are a couple of links there that might be handy in just this kind of circumstance.... especially the Kristin Hall one.

joe some john Denver,and puff the magic dragon some credence Clearwater(down on the corner and centerfield). check out the Misc movie and tv songs here at Chordie. maybe you can get the parents too let them bring their guitars too the event ,you could show them some chords etc. and you might even find a good guitar too buy .

How about a little woody guthrie - this land is your land  ?
Johnny Horton - battle of New Orleans

Thanks Bill.

has this happened yet?

the tv themes are always great but the ones I would suggest they probably dont know! LOL but Dukes  theme (just the good old boys)  Gilligan's island, if you can do surf music, the new Hawaii 5 O still uses the original score.  batman,  Brady bunch ect.  I can send ya some stuff from my book of camp songs.  OH cats in the cradle is good along with (as mentioned) Eagle and the Hawk by John Denver (loosly known as the only rocking song by him or the John Denver grunge song lol)

bgd you might want too add Dirty old egg sucking dog to my list above (johnny cash song).

I have since found out that I'm not leading songs at camp tomorrow. I have actually been volunteered to perform a few at the campfire.
Pros:
- I know lots of music.
- I don't need to worry about 75 copies of lyric sheets.
Cons:
- Are "Let's Get It On" and ""No Diggity" age appropriate?

So anywho, I really appreciate all the help and advice. While reading through this post and Doug's link I remembered a song that I sang back in camp. I think it's called "The Green Grass Grew All Around." I've dusted that off and learned it and printed a few copies of lyrics. It's a fun call and response tune. I am also gonna try and get them to sing Camptown Races with me. Wish me luck!

PS I ordered a tent and it did not show up. Late last night I splurged on a tent from REI that I've never used before and have no idea how to put up, and it's been raining all day. So REALLY wish me luck. lol

It only took 2 hours to put up.

I would have been sleeping in my car. I hope they gave you a lot of smoories. I am glad you helped them out. Las Vages May be getting the Oakland Raiders football team.
