Please note we do not claim any accuracy for the time period of these songs.  These are meant to be fun camp songs.  However, in the future we are hoping to compile a listing of both period correct songs for both sailors and the army.  In addition, we will be sure to have a listing of songs that are not period, but have a place at any event where a mixture of the past and present are welcome.  As many songs have alternate verses please feel free to send us your favourite verse and it will be appended to the song.  Please remember this is a family oriented site and we recognize that "after dark" songs are common at the campfire, but we have chosen not to publish that type of song on our website.

If you know the origins of a song posted here please write us so we can include a little history with the songs as well!
