Little Pioneer Children
Round
Happily
1. ① Little pioneer children gath’ring berries for food;
② See the pioneer children hunting chips for wood.
③ Gladly helping each other, merry and happy were they,
④ Walking along, moving along, on their way.
2. ① Hear the pioneer children singing all the day.
② See the pioneer children; there’s still time for play.
③ Often singing and dancing, merry and happy were they,
④ Walking along, moving along, on their way.
To sing this song as a round, divide into groups. Begin with a new group at each number. Round may be sung with or without accompaniment.
