[RSMASmusic]

it originated in the 60s at camp glen spey in new jersey

[randomkalei]

it's really interesting to see where different people pause and draw out words, or even things out, change the pitches slighty, etc. i sing the same song at camp, but it sounds very different.

[johnpond69]

[thetangerineotaku]

I REMEMBER THIS SONG! ITS SWEET! I havent heard the high harmony b4!

[Ravenfire385]

There's a harmony that goes for most of the song. It goes at the part "a pine bough for your bed", and sounds really cool. I know harmonies for most camp songs. Life of a Voyageur has amazing harmonies, too.

[randomness551]

your off tune. or at least thats the wrong tune for how we sing it at keyauwee

[TessaLeighLuvsYooh]

really? its not about if your off tune. its about the song and what it means.

[randomness551]

@TessaLeighLuvsYooh i didnt mean it in a bad way i just ment its diffrent from what iam use to i didnt mean to offend anyone ;(

[sparkliebellagirl]

[blupoptart]

Thank you soooo much for posting this. I'm having some girls sing at my wedding ceremony (in the chapel at camp) and we've been looking for this and similar songs forever. Please keep posting! :)

[thenanolover]

dido what hoLdStillbabyyyyyyy said love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lsparlin]

Well, it definately wasn't written by a boy scout. I train with a Girl Scout Trainer who worked with the counselor who wrote the song. I do believe it was out east somewhere, NY sounds about right. Probably in the '70s.

[hoLdStillbabyyyyyyyy]

i love to sing this at final campfire at camp:)

[darknesscats117]

awsome dude am am a girl guide or girl scoute girl guide is canadien but awsome

[musicknighthood]

This is pretty much the theme song of my life. I learned it at the best place in the world, (In my opinion) Camp Anokijig. I even memorized all five verses as well as the chorus. Ah, so many happy memories.

[Mightybearofthenorth]

haha! i love this song. This song and I Want to Be Strong. when the CITs ran campfires i always volunteered to help lead this song. :)

[gsxrtech]

i love this somg :]

[FreakyBunnyGirl]

I'm glad everyone is enjoying my video. I don't the true origin of this song I just know we've sung it at my camp for a very long time. It may be sung with a different rhythm at other camps but the message of the song is the same and I love this song greatly.

[drkk96]

@FreakyBunnyGirl the song was written at Camp Glen Spey, a girl scout camp in NY. a councilor named "Lefty" wrote it on sunset rock.

[Purrplegal98]

@FreakyBunnyGirl its exactly the same at my girl scout camp.

[monamaxwell]

@FreakyBunnyGirl There was a book written by brothers in the late 60's I think called "One the Loose". I think it was by Terry and Renny Russel. It has beautiful pictures and words from their travels as they hitchhiked and traveled across America. One of the brothers drowned on the journey. It is a beautiful light read about living free and with passion.

[Tsagiglalal]

@monamaxwell -I have this book and concur that it is a wonderful and beautiful book.

[asiangeek13]

i love this song!! we sing it at our girl scout camp!! Camp Bonnie Brae!! it's one of my favorites

[emmarie1]

I don't know who wrote this, but I went to GS camp back in the late 70s early 80s and we sang this song. Camp Hidden Falls, Pocono Mountans, PA. Keep posting these songs, you guys sound great!

[katyismach5]

this is the best song ever... it makes me want to cry knowing i only have a week left to spend at camp.

[blondie9753]

i sang this at Camo Hamilton and Camp Don Bosco! i really wanna know the chords for the guitar!

[hlsalone]

I love how every camp sings this song differently in terms of the rhythm..or maybe it's just Keyauwee.

[katyismach5]

yay, keyauwee. yeah, we sing it with less pitch changes.

[FagWhack]

thanks for posting this. i was trying to find the chords and it turned out we were singing it as "outdoors" instead of on the loose, which made everything a bit hard. hahaha also, we only sang the first two verses, and your melody is much better than the way i learned it.

[Icereed]

I think I can hear Duck o.o

Like, her voice seems to stand out. If it is her.

What year is this from? And I DO know the actual lyrics =) Btw, Lefty ROCKS for writing this. I find myself humming it unintentionally all the time.

[Icereed]

Unless this is a different camp. We sang it at Camp Glen Spey. o.o

[ratubo1918]

This isn't from Glen Spey. It's from some other girl scout camp. But it was written at Glen Spey by a counsler their. So it's their like official song.

[greengirl4468]

thank you so much. i love this song. we sing it every year at Camp Glen Spey where I will have you know it was written by a camp couseler who's nickname was lefty on sunset rock. This is my favorite song.

[lizmov]

It was written by Boy Scouts. It originated at Boy Scout camp.

[theloniusjaz]

how is this possibly within a boy's normal range?

[lizmov]

the guitar isnt high. only the girls vioces.. the boys just sign an octave or two lower..

[vaild23ssr]

no, im pretty sure that some girl wrote it at a girl scout camp quite a while ago. like, over 10 years ago.

[lizmov]

More like 20 or 30 years ago by Boyscouts.

[lilsteel17]

is this at camp anna berens? just wondering i go there. we sang it at closing campfire also

[FreakyBunnyGirl]

No this is at Rock Hill Girl Scout Camp.

[Jstar9899]

@FreakyBunnyGirl Yup I remember. 2008 right?

[lizmov]

This song gets sung at CML's closing campfire, and I was C.I.T, had lost my voice, and had to lip sing.  My friend and I were crying by the end so much..

[eguo0124]

Isn't this such a beautiful song? We sang it at my campfire too. Did you know it was written by a counsler, who's nickname was Lefty, at Camp Glen Spey in New York? I go to Camp Glen Spey, and they told me she wrote it on Sunset Rock, which has an amazing view of the lake and sunset.
