Rainy Road
Oh, the hard road is hard, and the long road is long,
The wet road is muddy for the weak and the strong,
But there's a song in my heart that makes my heart sing,
It appeases my mind to hear the mountains ring.
Oh, the leaves they are drenched as they hang in the rain,
But then the sun reappears, and they are dry once again,
And there's a friend at the end that makes my heart smile,
It's good to share with her, if only for a while.
On, the clouds that flow by are ominously black,
They empty of their fury in the mountain steams and lakes,
But there's a rainbow at the end that makes my heart say,
I know where I'm going, and the sun is my way.
Remember
Remember the friends you've made here,
Remember when you're away,
Remember the fun you've had here,
And don't forget to come back someday,
Remember the blazing campfires,
The sparkling water too,
For you girls belong to Chalk Hills,
And Chalk Hills belongs to you.
Requiem
words by Robert Louis Stevenson
Under a wide and starry sky,
Dig my grave and let me lie.
Glad did I live and gladly die,
And I lay me down with a will.
This be the verse you 'grave for me,
"Here lies he, where he longs to be,
home is the sailor, home from sea,
and the hunter's home from the hill."
River of a Thousand Isles
Chorus:
Oh, River of a thousand isles,
Of sandbar, cove, and sky,
Wisconsin called by French and Dutch,
My river, thus say I.
I found a gentle river there,
Her waters brown and blue,
And from her shores I learned this song,
And thus my story grew. Chorus
Heaven touched its rocky shore,
And capped each wave with foam,
Her sun to make a golden path,
Her moon to guide me home. Chorus
On flows this mighty waterway,
A pathway to the south,
One hundred mile, three hundred more
Until we reach the mouth. Chorus
