4th Grade Song Lyrics and Accompaniments:
I Love the Mountains:
I love the mountains; I love the rolling hills; I love the flowers; I love the daffodils; I love the fireside, when all the lights are low. Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da, Boom-dee-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (REPEAT) (second time through) boom-de-ah-dah, boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-dah, Boom-dee aye.

My Grandfather's Clock:
My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf, so it stood ninety years on the floor. It was taller by half than the old man himself, though it weighed not a penny weight more. It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born, and was always his treasure and pride. But it stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died. Ninety years without slumbering tick tock, tick tock. His life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock. It stopped, short, never to go again when the old man died.

Waltzing Matilda
Verse 1: Once jolly swagman camped by the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and waited ‘til his billy boiled,
“You’ll come a-waltzing matilda with me.”
Refrain: “Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda, You’ll come a waltzing matilda with me.”
And he sang as he watched and waited ‘til his billy boiled,
“You’ll come with a-waltzing matilda with me.”
Verse 2: Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong.
Up jumped the swagman and grabbed him with glee.
And he sang as he shoved that jumbuck in his tuckerbag,
“You’ll come a-waltzing matilda with me.”
(Refrain)
Verse 3: Up rode the stockman mounted on his thoroughbred.
Down came the troopers one, two, three.
“Oh, who’s that jumbuck you’ve got in your tuckerbag?
You’ll come a-waltzing matilda with me.”
(Refrain)
Verse 4: Up jumped the swagman, sprang into the billabong.
“You’ll never catch me alive,” said he.
And his ghost may be heard as you pass by the billabong,
“You’ll come a-waltzing matilda with me.” (Refrain)

Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hill, from the sky. All is well, safely rest, God is nigh. |
Auld Lang Syne
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind. Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and days of auld lang syne. For auld lang syne my dear, for auld lang syne. We’ll take a cup of kindness yet. For auld lang syne.

Verse 1: By yon bonnie banks, and by yon bonnie braes, where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond. Where me and my true love were ever won’t to go, on the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Refrain: Oh ye’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road, and I’ll be in Scotland afore ye. But me and my true love will never meet again, on the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Verse 2: ‘Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen, on the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond. Where in purple hue, the highland hills we view, and the moon coming out in the gloaming. (Refrain)
