Oh Golden Sun so great and bright, warms the world with all its might, It makes the dark Earth green and fair and tends each thing with ceaseless care. It shines on blossom, stone and tree, on bird and beast on you and me. So may each deed throughout the day, may everything we do and say be bright and strong and true, Oh Golden Sun like you.

Hop on your horse, hop on your horse, we’re going off to see the rivers course.
Hop over logs, just like frogs. Hop over boulders as high as your shoulders, as we gallop on like wind that’s here and gone - As we gallop on like wind that’s here and gone!
Hop on your pony, hop on your pony. We are going off to find a spot that’s sunny – with gentle breeze and shady trees – we are looking for action, with satisfaction, as gallop on with power in our flight – as we dash along we’re here then out of sight!

In eighteen hundred and forty one I put my cord’roy breeches on,
I put my cord’roy breeches on, to work upon the railway.
Fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, to work upon the railway.
In eighteen hundred and forty two I left the old world for the new,
good was the luck that brought me through, to work upon the railway.
Fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye,
to work upon the railway.
It’s Pat do this and Pat do that, without a stocking or cravat
and nothing but and old straw hat, to work upon the railway.
Fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye, fila-me-ooree-i-ree-aye,
to work upon the railway.

Mother Earth, Mother Earth, take this seed and give it birth.
Father Sun, gleam and glow ‘til the roots begin to grow.

Little Dwarfs
01:51
|
|||
|
Little dwarfs so short and strong, heavy-footed march along, every head is straight and proud, every step if firm and loud.
Pick and hammer each must hold deep in earth to mine the gold, ready over each one’s back hangs a little empty sack.
When their hard days work is done. Home again they march as one – full sacks make a heavy load – a they tramp along the road.

Round and Round

Round and round the circle goes, holding hands and twinkling toes,
Clap to the right side, clap to the left side, turn yourself around -
Tap with the right foot, tap with the left foot – bow towards the ground.
- under the right foot - under the left foot - heel toe heel and then once again.
Side to side and then hop, two, three - side to side and then hop, two, three,
Side to side and then hop, two, three – then start all over again.

Builder Brown, bigger beetle, works from the dawn ‘til night,
She will build a home, or a bridge of stone, in the morning chill she is never still,
for she works from the dawn ‘til night, yes she works from the dawn ‘til night.
Grasshappy sitting in the grass, Grasshappy sits up there and laughs – his green eyes twinkle he is having lots of fun –tapping his feet to the rhythm of the sun://

Chorus: Oh hand me down, oh hand me down://
Oh hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel,
Send it down, Hand it down, any ole way just get it down,
Hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.
2. We’ll if the river was a dragon that we could hop in - hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel,
In summer it would grow, in winter turn thin - hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.
3. Well, if people knew that paradise was easy to find - hand me down my silver trumpet Gabriel, they’d flock to Moonee Beach any ole time - hand me down my silver trumpet Lord.

Plough Song
03:33
|

|
I will go with my father a ploughing to the green field by the sea,
And the rooks and the crows and the sea-gulls will come flocking after me.
I will sing to the patient horses with the lark in the in the white of the air,
and my father will sing the plough song that blesses the cleaving share.
2. I will go with my father a sowing to the red field by the sea
and the rooks and the gulls and the starlings will come flocking after me.
I will sing to the striding sowers, with the finch on the flowering sloe
And my father will sing the seed song that only the wise men know.
3. I will go with my father a reaping to the brown field by the sea
And the geese and the crows and the children will come flocking after me.
I will sing to the weary reapers with the wren in the heat of the sun
And my father will sing the scythe song that brings joy for the harvest done.

1. Angels we have heard on high, Sweetly singing o’er the plains,
And the mountains in reply, Echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo://
2. Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be, Which inspire your heavenly song?
3. Come to Bethlehem and see, Christ Whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo://
4. See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise;
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo://

The Gift
02:59
|

|
On one starry night there was a child born,
whose gifts they changed the world from that time on.
Then from near and far, people felt the power to stand alone and wonder,
“At what moves this surg-ing tide of life around?”
Heaven knows what happened there though millions have tried
To understand the miracle that arose aft-er he died,
Heaven knows what hap-pened there to bring eternal life,
//:But that’s the gift that arose from all the strife://
On one starry night, three kings saw signs appear,
From a twinkling in the sky, great change was clear.
Then they travelled far, to a humble home,
To celebrate the birth, of each, help-ing hand that put forgiveness first.
Heaven knows what happened there though millions have tried
To understand the miracle that a-rose aft-er he died,
Heaven knows what hap-pened there to bring e-ter-nal life,
//:But that’s the gift that a-rose from all the strife://
