Love’s Joys

If you’re looking for a song about how happy love can make you…

Birds upon the trees, The
Captain with his whiskers 
Cushie Butterfield
Diana Kitty Annie Maria
Duck Foot Sue
I don’t mean to tell you her name
I kissed her under the parlour stairs
I love a lassie
In the shade of the old apple tree
In the Strand
In the valleys of Switzerland
Lancashire witches (The)
Little Annie Rooney
My Pretty Jane
My pretty Yorkshire Lass
Old Brown’s daughter
Over the garden wall
Roger and Dolly
Rolling on the Grass
Rose of Allandale, The
Tickle me Timothy, Do
Tickle-ickle-um
Ting! Ting! That’s how the bell goes
To be sure

SEARCH

Search tips:

If you are looking for songs to sing, I’ve listed songs under some themes – below.

Songs are listed alphabetically by name – click on the appropriate letter to access a list. If you can’t find a song you’re expecting, try searching for alternative spellings, or a phrase from the chorus.

If you know the Roud Number search for RN[number], so a search for Roud Number 6093 would be typed in as “RN6093” –  which should find Paddle your own Canoe.
