It's Raining ( Mother Goose)
(Peter Paul and Mary sing this and the following Rain, rain song in a folksy way, you can download this form Napster)
It's Raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
Went to bed
Bumped his head
And couldn't get up in the morning

Rain Rain ( a well known old English chant)
Go away
Come again
Another day (or on mother's washing day)

Irene, Good Night

Good Night Ladies

We're going to leave you now.

Merrily we roll along, roll along, roll along,
Merrily we roll along,
O'er the deep blue sea.

Are You Sleeping? (a round)
Are you sleeping? X2
Brother John, x 2
Morning Bells are ringing x 2
Ding, dang, dong. X 2

Oh, How Lovely is the Evening (a round)
Oh, how lovely is the evening, x 2
When the bells are sweetly ringing
Sweetly ringing,
Ding, dong! X 3

Now is the Hour
Now is the hour
When we must say, "Goodbye",
Soon you'll be sailing
Far across the sea,
While you're away,
Oh, then remember me,
When you return,
You'll find me waiting here.

Oh, What a Beautiful Morning
Oh, what a beautiful morning,
Oh what a beautiful day,
I've got a wonderful feeling
That everything's going my way.
