Back to Singing


Songs from last time that we're likely to do again this Friday (but we won't get to all of them):

This Little Light of Mine (Anabel has found updated words)
We Shall Not Be Moved
If I Had a Hammer
Banks of Marble
Hallelujah, I'm a Bum
Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around
We're Gonna Roll the Movement On
MTA Charlie
Hold On (Keep Your Eyes on the Prize)
No More! (Song for the Occupations)
John Ball
Bring Out the Banners
This Land Is Your Land

New songs (again, we won't get to all of them, but maybe the first 5):


Sit Down (Maurice Sugar and Peggy Seeger)
Rolling Home (John Tams)
You Gotta Go Down And Join The Sit-in (from adaptation by Woody Guthrie)
Where Have All the Flowers Gone
Study War No More (as a nod to Veteran's Day)
When I'm Gone (Phil Ochs)
Farther Along
Go Down Moses

* One of the new songs is WALL STREET SIT DOWN - USA (original tune & idea: Maurice Sugar, new words Peggy Seeger). Here's a recording:

* We may also try "You Gotta Go Down and Join the Sit-in", which should be both easier and more familiar.

* We could use a few more good, easy, familiar songs, but we want them to be both rousing and appropriate.
