This is a traditional song typically sung at Girl Scout camp! Enjoy :0)
[Verse]
A D E A D A E A
Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges' flickering light
A D E A D A E A
Silently flows the river to the sea, and the barges too go silently.
[Chorus]
A D E A D A E A
Barges, I would like to sail with you, I would like to sail the ocean blue.
A D E A D A E A
Barges, have you treasures in your hold? Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?
[Verse]
A D E A D A E A
Out of my window looking in the night, I can see the barges' flickering light
A D E A D A E A
Starboard shines green and port is glowing red, you can see them flickering far ahead.
[Chorus]
A D E A D A E A
Barges, I would like to sail with you, I would like to sail the ocean blue.
A D E A D A E A
Barges, have you treasures in your hold? Do you fight with pirates brave and bold?

[Verse]
A D E A D A E A
Out of my tent flap looking in the night, I can see my leaders having a fight
A D E A D A E A
Pillows and feathers flying everywhere, I can see my leaders' underwear.
[Verse]
A D E A D A E A
Leaders, I would like to fight with you, I would like to get a black eye too.
A D E A D A E A
Leaders, have you treasures to behold? Do you fight with Girl Scouts brave and bold?
