Songs from the camp ground. Over the Jordan, into heaven. Ride and ride the pony ; In Poland stands a house ; Boot has to die ; Joe Rattle ; Jakie will not shake down pears ; The tree in the woodland green ; I'm my daddy's own gay little boy ; I am weary -- Songs of courtship and marriage. Spin, spin, my darling daughter ; Daughter, will you marry? ; How do I get to your father's house? ; Every day you can't go a-sporting ; With the girls especially ; I went to see Lizzy ; Behind the door ; I've raggedy trouble ; My old mother-in-law ; Yesterday Michael dropped around -- Songs of the farm. Down home ; I wish I were a farmer ; If he grows oats and barley and beans ; It ain't very long since the rain has stopped ; The cuckoo ; I've thrashed all my oats fields ; If it wasn't for our farmer folk ; Chants of the farm -- Songs of the snitzing party. Rye-a, rye-a, riddy-oh ; Henry and Lizzy ; Way down yonder in the woods ; Roses red are oh, so nice! ; At Lauderbach I lost my sock ; Down in the meadow ; One two three or four ; The last rose of summer ; Drink deeply life's pleasures -- Songs of the tavern. Dear August ; When I come home full of beer ; Drink, fellow, drink! ; Stir up the ashes ; The frog that had no hair ; If my old woman were a potter's wheel ; O my darling See-Saw-Sarah ; Three weeks before Easter ; Far across the sea -- Songs of American life. The soldier's farewell ; Hurrah for Rough and Ready! ; Oh, Susanna! ; The old Democrat's song ; Pauly Lyons ; Delamater won't get in! -- A New Year's blessing -- Songs from the camp ground. O how lovely ; O God, let down your mighty power! ; There's a happiness in my soul today ; And life will be better there ; I will labor ; I'm happy, happy ; When the Master calls me home ; Oh, what a glorious day! ; Savior, lead me ; Over the Jordan, into heaven.
