I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

The Little House
Words by Josef Berger, melody by Nick Klonaris
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.173
D - A - / / G D G D / G - A D
Theirs is a little house, theirs is
In a pear tree full of pearses
They're birds, you see, they live in a tree
Where they don't need ladders or stairses
They're happy and free from careses
They never have to run from bearses
And pears are free to birds you see
'Round the world or any other-whereses
Theirs is a little house, theirs is
With little bird beds and chairses
Did you ever hear of any house near
As nice a little house as theirs is?
