When you and I were young, Maggie!

A popular "country" song
George W. Johnson, a school teacher, wrote the lyrics to this song in 1864 as a poem for Maggie Clark, his young wife of 23 who was dying of Tuberculosis. She died in 1865 before she could hear the words put to music by J.A.Butterfield in 1866. This was an extremely popular song up through the 1920's.

I wandered today to the hill, Maggie,
To watch the scene below -
The creek and the creaking old mill, Maggie,
As we used to, long ago.
The green grove is gone from the hill, Maggie,
Where first the daisies sprung;
The creaking old mill is still, Maggie,
Since you and I were young.

Chorus
And now we are agèd and grey, Maggie,
And the trials of life nearly done,
Let us sing of the days that are gone, Maggie,
When you and I were young...
Kind regards, Reny

Spelling Differences

Dear friends,
We'd like to share some English words which are different into American. It's the difference between British English and American English. Hope that this exercise will be useful for our young learners.

American Folk Songs

Dear friends and partners,
We'd like to share short videos about the first settlers and pioneers of America. You can listen to the popular songs of Stephen Foster,the "father of American music", and also you can use them in your lessons of Music, History, Geography, Literature, etc. It will help you to provide CLIL/Content and Language Integrated Learning/which is one of the most innovative purposes. Hope that you will like our suggestion!
Kind regards, Bulgarian Team


The Camptown ladies sing this song,
Doo-da, Doo-da
The Camptown racetrack's five miles long
Oh, de doo-da day

Goin' to run all night
Goin' to run all day
I bet my money on a bob-tailed nag
Somebody bet on the gray...

Traditional Children's Songs

Dear friends and partners,
We'd like to share two famous traditional songs. Oh! Susanna is written by American composer Stephen Foster in 1847, and soon becomes a popular American folk song. London Bridge is Falling Down is another traditional children's song. You can use them in your work with pupils. Hope that you will like our suggestion!
Kind regards, Bulgarian Team

I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee
I'm going to Louisiana,
My true love for to see.

It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susannah, don't you cry.

Oh, Susannah,
Oh don't you cry for me
For I come from Alabama
With a banjo on my knee...

Photos from Kent, the UK

Dear friends and partners,
I'd like to share some photos from magnificent Canterbury. I was there and think that it's one of the most beautiful places in the world. You can listen to the famous Irish song The Dubliners - Molly Malone. Hope that you will like it!
Many hugs and kisses,Reny


In Dublin's fair city,
Where the girls are so pretty,
I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone,
As she wheeled her wheel-barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
"Alive, alive, oh,
Alive, alive, oh",
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh".
She was a fishmonger,
But sure 'twas no wonder,
For so were her father and mother before,
And they each wheeled their barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
(chorus)
She died of a fever,
And no one could save her,
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone.
Now her ghost wheels her barrow,
Through streets broad and narrow,
Crying, "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive, oh!"
(chorus)

However I am tormented world wrap
astride a stick when you get back...

The Three R's or Reduce, Reuse, Recycle


If you're going to the market to buy some juice
You've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste
And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes
You could try them on before you buy some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse
And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you've got to make some trash
Don't throw it out
Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle...
Kind regards, Reny
