We Gather Here Together

We gather here together with joyful heart and mind

We raise our voices ever, our distant souls to bind

To remember in this moment of friendship love and joy

That music made together may one day heal mankind

To remember in this moment of friendship love and joy

That music made together may one day heal mankind

This Land Is Your Land

By Woody Guthrie

Refrain Chorus:

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 waters

This land was made for you and me

1. As I was walking that ribbon highway,

I saw above me an endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley,

This land was made for you and me

Refrain Chorus

2. I roamed and rambled I followed my footsteps,

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was singing

This land was made for you and me

Refrain Chorus

3. The sun was shining as I was strolling,

Wheat fields waving, dust clouds rolling

A voice was singing, the fog was lifting

This land was made for you and me

Refrain Chorus

The Crawdad Song American Folk Song

You get a line and I’ll get a pole honey. You get a line and I’ll get a pole babe

You get a line and I’ll get a pole. We’ll go fishin in the crawdad hole

Honey sugar baby mine

Whatcha gonna do when the stream runs dry honey. Whatcha gonna do when the stream runs dry babe

Whatcha gonna do when the stream runs dry. Sit on the bank and watch the crawdads cry

Honey sugar baby mine

Here comes a man with a sack on his back honey. Here comes a man with a sack on his back babe

Here comes a man with a sack on his back. He’s got all the crawdads he can pack

Honey sugar baby mine

The man fell down and broke the sack honey. The man fell down and broke the sack babe

The man fell down and broke the sack. Look at all the crawdads running on back

Honey sugar baby mine

Look at that crawdad dancing all around honey. Look at that crawdad dancing all around babe

Look at that crawdad dancing all around. He’s the Mayor of Crawdad Town

Honey sugar baby mine

If you got troubles, and you need a helping hand

Come to me, I will be your friend

Mother Goonie Bird

Mother Goonie Bird, had seven chicks

Seven chicks had Mother Goonie Bird

And they couldn't walk

And they couldn't talk

But they all could go like this!

Follow the steady beat of the doggie treat!

Find an empty box or plastic container to drum on, or just use your hands!

Silly Cats!

In this video, try to match the beat with the cats by tapping on your lap, clapping softly, or tapping a pencil on some scrap cardboard.
