Sylvia Woods has included the lyrics in most of her books of songs, because it is fun to be able to sing-along (at least in your head) while you're playing. However, some of her earliest books, including this one, did not include the lyrics. You can get these lyrics in two ways.
#1. You can download and print a FREE PDF of these lyrics.
#2. You can purchase the Lyrics Booklet for only $2.95. It includes the lyrics for this book, as well as lyrics from the Hymns and Wedding Music and Irish Dance Tunes books.
