<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 34093, member: 1779&quot;]We used to sing a song at Scout Camp, &quot;I&#039;ve Got Sixpence&quot;:</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got sixpence, jolly jolly sixpence.</p><p>I&#039;ve got sixpence to last me all my life.</p><p>I&#039;ve got twopence to spend and twopence to lend,</p><p>And twopence to send home to my wife, poor wife.</p><p><br /></p><p>No cares have I to grieve me,</p><p>No pretty little girls to deceive me.</p><p>I&#039;m happy as a lark, believe me,</p><p>As we go rolling rolling home.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rolling home, rolling home, </p><p>By the light of the silvery moon.</p><p>Happy is the day when the Staffmen get their pay, [or soldiers or whoever]</p><p>As we go rolling rolling home.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next verses go to &quot;fourpence&quot;, take away &quot;twopence&quot; from one line, put in &quot;nopence&quot;, then the next verse takes away two more twopence.</p><p><br /></p><p>While I appreciate that many Scout Camp songs have varied origins and many versions, I believe this particular song was derived from a World War One but don&#039;t bet the farm on this. I&#039;m not an expert on etymology.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
