ABC Song by Gregon and Lincoln in the car, VERY FUNNY TO WATCH :)

Gregon and Lincoln on the Alphabet Song.  Gregon gets angry, Lincoln feels bad, then forgets he is supposed to be angry and smiles, then remembers and tries to pout.  VERY CUTE.

ABC Song with Gregon and Lincoln, Feb, 2015

Dream Awhile

This song was recorded while we sang to a woman in her home who was terminally ill.  This is also a camp song that I learned at camp.  I also remember my parents teaching/singing it with us in the car.  My daughter's also sang it at their dad's funeral. This is absolutely one of my very favorite songs.

These precious moments we'll relive

E             A      A7 D
When we meet again

"It's Time", at the Elementary School's Talent Show

This was so fun to watch!  Trevor and his friend sounded great on "Rhythm", Mason was solid on his guitar, holding it all together, and Carter sang with such confidence.  I loved it.

"It's Time", for the Talent Show

Glory Land (I've Got a Home In Glory Land)

Singing for Grandma Wilma at the assisted living home.  Mason is helping out on the guitar.  He has never played it before, therefore the "actions" by me to help him know when to "break" on the guitar.

This is a song I learned as a child, again singing in our volkswagen bug driving up the mountain to go home.  This is absolutely one of my favorites!  Very fun memories associated with it, and now, the memory of singing for Grandma Wilma.

O My Father, sung at Grandpa Dollar's Funeral

This song was also sung at my mother and my father's funeral service.  This is an arrangement by me, and as always, I love hearing it sung by my daughters. 

O My Father

I'm Going To Leave Ol' Texas Now

I learned this song in 2nd grade.  My teacher played the guitar, and taught us a lot of fun songs.  She was one of the main reasons I ever started playing guitar, and all the songs she taught us were great.

This was a first time through for this group-my nephews, friends and brother.  I was down visiting, and this was really a treat to get to play and sing with them!

This song is in the key of D, and A is the only other cord in this song.  One person sings the first line and holds it out, and the group repeats after them.  It is easy to do around a camp fire, or a group where no one knows each other songs.

I'm Going To Leave Ol' Texas Now


Chords and Lyrics for I'm Going To Leave Ol' Texas Now

D
I'm going to leave….. (echo), Ol' Texas now…….
                         A                                        D
They've got no use……., for the longhorn cow……

They've plowed and fenced…….   My cattle range…….
                          A                                   D
And the people there……..    Are all so strange……

I'll say adios……  to the Alamo…………
                      A                               D
And turn my head………   toward Mexico………

I'll take my horse…….   I'll take my rope…….
                   A                             D
And hit the trail……..   Upon a lope………..

Spider's Web, Quick Record for Learning

"Spider's Web" is a favorite of all girl's camp goers.  This was recorded quick, the two separate parts, so that my friend Sue could review for girls camp coming up this week.

I will post with the parts combined when I get a few of my daughters together.

YOUNG LOVE (Key of C)

Intro – C x 4 bars (16 counts)

1^st verse

                     C

She was sitting cross-legged on a hood of a Ford

Filing down her nails with an emery board

                       G

Talking to her friends about people they knew

And all of the things that young girls do

                                C

When she said, "You see that guy in the baseball cap?

I'd like to spend some time with a boy like that."

                     G

Betty said, "I've seen him at the hardware store.

I think his name is Billy, but I'm not sure."

                                        C

And as they talked a little while he passed by

She smiled at him he just said "Hi."

                                  G

He was thinking to himself as he walked away

Man, I'd like to find a girl like her someday

[Chorus]

           F                C                 G                       C

         Young love, strong love, true love, it's a new love

                                                 F                 C

They're gonna make it through the hard times, walk those lines

                         G                                     C         

                Yeah, these ties will bind,  young love

2^nd verse

   C

Well, she just couldn't stop herself from thinking 'bout him

And at a store downtown she saw him again

                                  G

She had both hands full, he held open the door

He said, "My name is Billy. I've seen you before.

                             C

Can I help you with these? Can I give you a ride?

Can I take you out on a Saturday night?"

                           G

She didn't have to say what she was feeling inside

He could see the answer shining in her eyes

[Repeat Chorus]

3^rd verse

     C

Well, from that day on you couldn't keep them apart

They were side by side, heart to heart

                      G

Mama cried as Billy slipped the ring on her hand

And when the baby was born she was crying again

                              C

Well, he worked real hard and put some money down

On a little old house at the edge of town

                            G

And that night as he held her he couldn't believe

That God had made a girl that he'd never ever leave

[Repeat Chorus]

(Halle solo)

       C

She was sitting cross-legged on the hood of a Ford

Filing down her nails with an emery board

End with same as intro, 4 bars of C, (16 counts)
