BAMBOO
You take a stick of bamboo, you take a stick of bamboo You take a stick of bamboo, you throw it on the water Oh, Oh, Hannah!
You travel on the river, you travel on the river, You travel on the river, you travel on the water. Oh, Oh, Hannah!
My home’s across the river, my home’s across the river, My home’s across the river, my home’s across the water. Oh, Oh, Hannah!

BARGES
Out of my window, looking to the night, I can see the barges flickering lights. Silently flows the water to the sea And the barges do go silently.
Chorus: Barges, how I long to go with you. How I long to sail the ocean blue. Barges, have you treasures in your hold? Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
Out of window, looking to the night, I can see the barges flickering lights. Starboard shines green and port is glowing red, I can see the barges far ahead.
Repeat chorus.
How my heart longs to sail away with you As you sail across the ocean blue. But I must stay here by my window clear As I watch you sail away from here.
Repeat chorus.

| THE BEAR SONG
The other day I met a bear. A great big bear a way out there.
He said to me, “You better run! I see you ain’t got any gun!”
And so I ran right out of there. And right behind me was that bear.
In front of me I spied a tree. A great big tree. Oh lucky me!
The nearest branch was ten feet up. I’d have to jump and trust my luck.
And so I jumped into the air. But I missed that branch a way up there.
Now don’t you fret and don’t you frown For I caught that branch on the way back down!
That’s all there is, there ain’t no more Until I meet that bear once more.

BLOWIN' IN THE WIND
By Bob Dylan How many roads must a man walk down Before you can call him a man? Yes, and how many seas must a white dove sail, Before she can sleep in the sand? Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly, Before they’re forever banned?
Chorus: The answer my friend, is blowin’ in the wind The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
How many times must a man look up Before he can see the sky? Yes, and how many ears must one man have Before he can hear people cry? Yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows That too many people have died?
Repeat chorus.
How many years can a mountain exist Before it is washed to the sea? Yes, and how many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free?
