Sunday, May 19, 2024 at Scouters Mountain Nature Park
There's a Bright Side Somewhere (Key of A)
Traditional, recorded by Rev. Gary Davis, Molsky’s Mountain Drifters, and others
There's a bright side somewhere
There's a bright side somewhere
Ain't gonna rest until I find it
There's a bright side somewhere
There is more joy somewhere
There is more joy somewhere
Ain't gonna rest until I find it
There is more joy somewhere
There is more peace somewhere
There is more peace somewhere
Ain't gonna rest until I find it
There is more peace somewhere
There is more love somewhere
There is more love somewhere
Ain't gonna rest until I find it
There is more love somewhere
There's a bright side somewhere
There's a bright side somewhere
Ain't gonna rest until I find it
There's a bright side somewhere .
Shady Grove
(Traditional, last verse by Leela and Ellie Grace)
Peaches in the summer time
Apples in the fall
If I can’t have the one I love
I’ll have no one at all
Chorus: Shady grove, my true love
Shady grove, my darlin’
Shady grove, my true love
I’m goin’ back to Harlan
If I had no horse to ride
I’d be found a crawlin’
Up and down this rocky road
Lookin’ for my darlin’
Chorus
When I go to shady grove
I’d like to stay all day
And there beneath the apple trees
I’ll dance my cares away
Chorus

Peace Will Come
By Tom Paxton
Peace…
Peace will…
Peace will come
Let it begin with me
We…
We need…
We need peace
Let it begin with me
Oh, my own life is all I can hope to control
Oh, let my life be lived for the good,
Good of us all
And let it bring
Peace…
Sweet peace..
Peace will come
Let it begin with me
Ain’t No Ash Will Burn
By Walt Aldridge
I have seen snow that fell in May
I have seen rain on cloudless days
Some things are bound to change
There ain’t no ash will burn
Chorus: Love is a precious thing, I’m told
Burns just like West Virginia coal
But when the fire dies down, it’s cold
There ain’t no ash will burn
You say this life is not your lot
But I can’t be something that I’m not
We can’t stoke a fire that we ain’t got
There ain’t no ash will burn
Chorus
There comes a time in every life
When there are no more tears to cry
We must leave something dear behind
There ain’t no ash will burn
Chorus
If I Had a Hammer (The Hammer Song)
By Pete Seeger and Lee Hays
If I had a hammer
I'd hammer in the morning
I'd hammer in the evening
All over this land
I'd hammer out danger
I'd hammer out a warning
I'd hammer out love between
My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
If I had a bell
I'd ring it in the morning
I'd ring it in the evening
All over this land
I'd ring out danger
I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring out love between My brothers and my sisters All over this land
If I had a song
I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening
All over this land
I'd sing out danger
I'd sing out a warning
I'd sing out love between
My brothers and my sisters All over this land
Well, I've got a hammer And I've got a bell
And I've got a song to sing All over this land
It's the hammer of justice
It's the bell of freedom
It's a song about love between My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
It's a hammer of justice
It's a bell of freedom
It's a song about love between My brothers and my sisters
All over this land
