Down By the Riverside

Gonna lay down my sword and shield down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield down by the riverside
And study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more

I'm gonna join hands with everyone down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
I'm gonna join hands with everyone down by the riverside
And study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more

Gonna lay down my sword and shield down by the riverside
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside
Gonna lay down my sword and shield down by the riverside
And study war no more

I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more
I ain't gonna study war no more

Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad

Ain't gonna work on the farm

Lay around the shack 

Til the mail train comes back

And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around the shack 

Til the mail train comes back

And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Well, mama's a beauty operator

Sister can wheel and can spin

Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin

Watch that ol' money roll in.

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around the shack 

Til the mail train comes back

And roll in my sweet baby's arms

I Don't Know My Name

I don't know my name

I don't play by the rules of the game

So you say I'm just trying, just trying

So I heard you are my sister's friend 

You get along quite nicely

You ask me why I cut my hair 

And changed myself completely

I don't know my name

I don't play by the rules of the game

So you say I'm just trying, just trying

I went from bland and popular

To joining the marching band

I made the closest friends

I'll ever have in my lifetime

I'm lost               trying to get found

    In an ocean of people

    Please don't ask me any      questions

There won't be a valid answer, I'll just say

I don't know my name

I don't play by the rules of the game

So you say I'm just trying, just trying

I don't know my name

I don't play by the rules of the game

So you say I'm not trying, but I'm trying to find my way

Big Music Concert Approaching!!!

Dear Percussion Club & Bee Choir Families,

Our two groups will be having our fall concert on November 30^th with Mr. Ray’s Ukulele Club. It will be a great concert and we’re getting really excited about it. This note is to remind you of the concert and to add one rehearsal to our calendar. We would like to have an extra rehearsal on Thursday November, 30^th from 3:15-4:15 in the music room all three groups together. The concert will be that evening at Memorial Baptist Church (1634 Paris Road) at 6:30 pm. The singers and percussionists will need to be there no later than 6:15.

After November 30^th, percussion and choir will be done for 2017, and we will begin again in January the second week of school.

We hope your musician can be at the extra rehearsal and that you all will be able to come and enjoy their music at the concert that evening!

Thanks so much!!!

Ms. Hoeppner 😊😊😊
