In peace profound
Till morning’s light.

Promised Land  (Part 1 both times-Cic, Weissb.,Hanifin)
Brother, sister, lend an ear,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!__
Troubles soon will disappear,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
When I reach it there will be    
    love and happiness awaitin’ for me,_
come along and you will see! 
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

I’ll be singin’ freedom’s song,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

That’s the place where I belong,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
I’ll get there one day I know;
now I’ve started I’m a-rarin’ to go__
where the milk and honey flow.
I’m headin’ for the promised land.

O, listen, don’t you hear that trumpet,
sounding forth the call?__
O, children, won’t you rise and follow,
one and all?___

Better days are now in view,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
All my dreams are comin’ true,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

Want to leave the past behind,
face the future with a hopeful mind.
Peace and joy I’ll surely find,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
2nd ending
Headin’ for the promised land!
Headin’ for the promised land!____ yeah!

Part 2 (second time) – Murphy, Thornton, Warwick

Lyrics and practice video for "Pick a Little, Talk a Little" and "Goodnight, Ladies."  Try singing the opposite song with the one playing to practice partnering them together!

Pick a Little, Talk a Little
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep, cheep, cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more.
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep, cheep, cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more.
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep, cheep, cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more.
Pick a little, talk a little, pick a little, talk a little,
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep,
Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep,  cheep, cheep, cheep

Goodnight, Ladies

Goodnight, ladies,______
Goodnight, ladies,_____
We’re going to leave you now.

Hi Super Singers!

Keep checking this blog to look for and practice with videos and the lyrics to some of the songs that you'll be performing for the Winter Concerts on Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2019!

This first post has:
1. The lyrics (the words) to the song "The Wells Fargo Wagon"
2. A recording of just the piano to practice with outside of school
3. A recording of me singing with the piano (don't mind my head cold!)

The Wells Fargo Wagon
  1. O-ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin’ down the street,
    oh please let it be for me.___
    O-ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin’ down the street,
    I wish, I wish I knew what it could be.___

I got a box of maple sugar on my birthday.___
In March, I got a gray mackinaw.___
And once I got some grapefruit from Tampa.
Montgom’ry Ward sent me a bathtub and a crosscut saw.

O-ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin’ now.
Is it a prepaid surprise or C.O.D.?
It could be curtains, or dishes, or a   double boiler,
Or it could be, yes, it could be, yes, you’re right, it surely could be,
Somethin’ special, Somethin’ very, very special now. 
Just for me.__________


  1. O-ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin’ down the street,
    Oh, don’t let him pass my door!_____
    O-ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin’ down the street,
    I wish I knew what he was comin’ for.___

    I got some salmon from Seattle last September.___
    And I expect a new rockin’ chair.___
    I hope I get my raisins from Fresno.
The D.A.R. have sent a cannon for the courthouse square.

O-ho, the Wells Fargo Wagon is a-comin’ now, I don’t know how I can every wait to see.__
It could be somethin’ for someone who is  no relation,
But it could be, yes, it could be, yes, you’re right, it surely could be,
Somethin’ special, Somethin’ very, very special now. 
Just for me.__________
