Some people say a man is made outa mud, A rock climber’s made outa muscles and blood Feet like a spider, hands like a claw, A mind that’s weak and a grip that is strong. Chorus: Ya Climb sixteen faces, and what do ya get, Another busted up knee and a scraped up hand Saint Peter don’t ya call me, cause I can’t go I owe my soul to the REI store. 2. I was born one morning when the rain didn’t fall, I picked up my harness and I hiked to the wall, I climbed sixteen faces of 5.9 and My belayer kept sayin’ “CLIMB ON!” Chorus 3. If you see me climbing, better step aside, A lot of men didn’t, a lot of men died. Rock & biners fallin’ below, If the tricams don’t get you, the rope drag will. Chorus I Cannot Go on the Campout T1000/Wilson (tune of “The Wedding Banquet”) Chorus: I cannot go I cannot go on the campout, don’t trouble me now I have got me a job, I have bought me a car, I find that girls and my commitments all cost a lot of dough Please hold me excused, I cannot go. 1. The Greenbar said let’s all try to have the finest troop in town, Lets go camping and go hiking and go caving underground. So they planned all the outings and told all Scouts alike, but when the campout day arrived, some Scouts simply replied, Chorus 2. Scoutmaster rose up in wonder, called patrol leaders by name, said go into the church, call the members all the same. Fetch the straggler, and the sleeper, and those who just forgot, Our campout isn’t crowded, let’s learn to tie a knot. Chorus 3. When the troop had assembled, there was still room to spare. All the chuck boxes were ready, all the tents had been repaired. Load the gear into the trailer, then jump into a car, this campout isn’t waiting, we’ll go just as we are. Chorus 4. Every Scout will learn a lesson for the rest of his life; If you’re slow in responding, you may get left behind. Live for Scouting while you’re able, don’t let fun times slip away. At each campfire’s glowing embers, be glad you didn’t say; Chorus Ghost Riders 1. An old cowpoke went riding out, one hot and windy day, upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way, When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw, A-plowin’ through the ragged skies and up the cloudy draw. Chorus: Yip-I-ya-a, Yip-I-ya-o Ghost riders in the sky. 2. Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel, Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel. A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky. For as he saw the riders coming hard he could hear their mournful cry. Chorus 3. Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat. They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd, but they ain’t caught them yet. They’ve got to ride for-evermore on that range up in the sky, On horses snorting fire, as they ride, I hear them cry. Chorus 4. And as the riders loped on by, he heard them call his name, If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on the range. Then cowboy better change your ways or with us you will ride, Trying to catch the devil’s herd across the endless sky. Chorus Little Skunk Song (tune of Dixie Land) Well, I stuck my head in a little skunk hole, and the little skunk said, “Well upon my soul, -- “Take it out! Take it out! Take it out! Remove it! Now, I didn’t take it out and the little skunk said -- “If you don’t take it out, you’ll wish you were dead!” “Take it out! Take it out! SSSSSSSSSSSS!! -- I REMOVED IT!” Scout Vespers Softly falls the light of day, as our campfire fades away. Silently each Scout should ask Have I done my daily task? Have I kept my honor bright? Can I guiltless sleep tonight? Have I done and have I dared Everything to be prepared? Rocky Top 1. Wish that I was on ol’ Rocky Top, down in the Tennessee hills 2. Once two strangers climbed ol’ Rocky Top, lookin’ for a moonshine still; Ain’t no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top. Ain’t no telephone bills. Strangers ain’t come down from ol’ Rocky Top, reckon they never will. Once I had a girl on Rocky Top, half bear, half wild cat; Corn don’t grow at all on Rocky Top, dirt’s too rocky by far, wild as a mink, but sweet as soda pop, I still dream about that. That’s why all the folks on Rocky Top get their corn from a jar. Chorus: Chorus Rocky Top, you’ll always be home sweet home to me; 3. I’ve had years of cramped up city life, Good ol’ Rocky Top, Rocky Top Tennessee; Stuck like a duck in a pen. Rocky Top Tennessee All I know is it’s a pity life Can’t be simple again.

Light she was and like a fairy, Chorus And her shoes were number nine, Herring boxes without topses 6. In my dreams she still doth haunt me, Sandals were for Clementine. Robed in garments soaked in brine. Though in life I used to hug her, Chorus Now she’s dead, I draw the line. 3. Drove she ducklings to the water, Chorus Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter, 7. How I missed her, how I missed her, Fell into the foaming brine How I missed my Clementine, Then I kissed her little sister, Chorus And forgot dear….what’s her name Chorus My Gals a Corker Chorus: My gal’s corker, she’s a New Yorker I buy her everything to keep her in style 1. She’s got a pair of feet, just like a battle fleet Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 2. She’s got a pair of legs, just like to cider kegs Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 3. She’s got a pair of knees, just like two redwood trees Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 4. She’s got a pair of thighs, just like two railroad ties. Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 5. She’s got a pair of lips, just like potato chips Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 6. She’s got a great big nose, just like a rubber hose. Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 7. She’s got a pair of eyes, just like two chocolate pies Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 8. She’s got a head of hair, just like a grizzly bear. Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus 9. She’s got a limousine, and I buy the gasoline. Yeh man! That’s where my money goes. Chorus Bill Grogan’s Goat (echo repeat each line) Bill Grogan’s goat Was feelin’ fine, Ate three red shirts, Right off the line. I took a stick, Gave him a whack And tied him to the railroad track The whistle blew, The train grew nigh Bill Grogan’s goat, was doomed to die He gave three groans, of awful pain, Coughed up those shirts, and flagged the train.

On Top of Old Smokey On top of Old Smokey, All covered in snow, I lost my poor lover, by courtin’ too slow. Now, courtin’s a pleasure, Partin’ is grief, But a false hearted lover, Is worse than a thief. A thief, he will rob you, And take all you have, But a false hearted lover, will lead you to the grave. The grave will decay you, And turn you to dust, There ain’t one in a million that a poor boy can trust. They’ll hug you and kiss you, And tell you more lies, Than ties in a railroad, or stars in the sky. They’ll tell you they love you to give your heart ease. But as soon as your back’s turned, They’ll court who they please Come all you young maidens and listen to me. Never place affection on a green willow tree. For the leaves, they will wither. And the roots they will die. And lover will leave you And you’ll never know why. Old Buffalo Press
