Deck the halls with boughs of holly

Good song for carolling as everyone can join in at the Fa la las!

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa la la la la, la la la la

'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Don we now our gay apparrel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la

Troll the ancient Yuletide carol
Fa la la la la, la la la la

See the blazing yule before us
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Follow me in merry measure
Fa la la, la la la, la la la

While I tell of Yuletide treasure
Fa la la la la, la la la la

Auld lang syne

 I love this old song and its so ideal for new year's eve!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brocht to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

We twa ha'e run aboot the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

We twa ha'e paidled i' the burn
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid ha'e roared
Sin' auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

And here's a hand, my trusty frien',
And gie's a hand o' thine;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne;
We'll tak' a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne.

My Bonnie lies over the ocean

This was the first song I ever sang to my son in the hospital room when they placed him in my arms!

My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

O bring back, O, bring back, O
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
and have brought back my Bonnie to me, to me

O bring back, O bring back, O
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead.

O bring back, O bring back, O
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.

When its Spring Time in the Rockies

My Grandpa used to play this one on the Harmonica. He taught my cousin and me the lyrics and we would sing along.

When its spring time in the Rockies
I'll be coming back to you
Little sweetheart of the mountains
with your Bonny eyes of Blue

Once again I'll say I love you
While the birds sing overhead
When its spring time in the Rockies
The rock is far away.

Danny boy

I love the Jim Reeves live version of this song!

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling,
From glen to glen and down the mountain side;
The summer's gone, and all the leaves are falling;
'Tis you, 'tis you must go, and I must bide.

But come ye back when summer's in the meadow,
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow;
I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow;
Oh Danny boy, Oh Danny boy, I love you so.

You'll come and find the place where I am lying,
And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

This old man (Knick-knack paddywhack)

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on my thumb;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played two,
He played knick-knack on my shoe;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played three,
He played knick-knack on my knee;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played four,
He played knick-knack on my door;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played five,
He played knick-knack on my hive;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played six,
He played knick-knack on my sticks;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played seven,
He played knick-knack up in Heaven;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played eight,
He played knick-knack on my gate;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played nine,
He played knick-knack on my spine;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played ten,
He played knick-knack once again;
Knick-knack paddywhack,
Give a dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer

As a kid I would love this carol and my son loves it too!

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose.
And if you ever saw him,
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names.
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee:
"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!"
