Magic word is…. FOLKSONG!!

Lyrics:I am bound for the promised land,I am bound for the promised land;Oh who will come and go with me?I am bound for the promised land.

When I shall reach that happy place,I'll be forever blessed,For I shall see my Father's face,And in His bosom rest.

Lyrics:Wish I was an apple dangling from a tree,Every time you'd pass me by you'd take a bite of me,I wish I was a bluebird I'd never fly away,I'd sit up on your shoulder baby and sing to you all day.

Come on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home Cindy CindyCome on home Cindy Cindy, Come on home to me

Lyrics:Hear that lonesome whippoorwill?He sounds too blue to fly.The midnight train is whining low: I'm so lonesome I could cry.

I've never seen a night so long,When time goes crawling by.The moon just went behind a cloud,To hide its face and cry.

(There is no wrong answer!!)
