The Good Old Open Trail

 
(Tune: Jingle Bells)

Skies are warm and light,
Our hearts are light and gay
Ev'rything's all right
And bright the world today;
Let's be on the march
Over hill and dale,
On a happy hike we go once more
On the good old open trail!

Chorus:

March along! March along!
Singing all the while
Shouting out a rousing song
As we reel off mile on mile.
(Keep time there!)

March along! March along!
Spirits never fail
When again we're on our way
On the good old open trail!

When the campfire's lit
And we're many miles from town,
Singing ringing songs,
Of the trails we've hiked along:
Of happy days we've known
On the good old open trail!
Round the fire we sit and sing
While the stars are looking down.
