Our Favourite Campfire Songs!
Campfires Burning
Barges
Pink Pyjamas
Campfires burning, campfires burning
Draw nearer, draw nearer
In the gloaming, In the gloaming
come sign and be merry!
Sung as a round, a quieter song to calm everyone down enough to go off to bed!
Ging Gang Gooli
Ging gang gooli gooli gooli watcha, ging gang goo, ging gang goo. [Repeat.]
Heyla, heyla sheyla, heyla sheyla heyla ho. [Repeat.]
Shali walli, shali walli, shali walli, shali walli,
Oompha, Oompah . . .
Sing as a round, with one group continuing with the “Oompah” and another singing the song again from the beginning; then switch.
Chorus:
Barges, I would like to go with you,
I would like to sail the ocean blue.
Barges, have you treasures in your hold?
Do you fight with priates brave and bold?
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Silently flows the river to the sea,
As the barges go by silently.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Starboard shining green and port is shining red,
I can see the barges from my bed.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Anchors start to pull and engines start to roar,
As the barges pull away from shore.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the night,
I can see the barges flickering light.
Stars are brightly lighting up the sky,
As the barges seem to skip right by.
Chorus
Out of my window looking in the night
I can see the barges flickering light.
Taking their cargo out into the sea,
How I wish someday they'd take me.
Chorus
How my heart wants to sail away with you,
As you sail across the ocean blue.
But I must stay beside my window clear,
As the barges sail away from here.
