In the lists below you will soon find links to:
‘River of song’ website pages for each song including lyrics, sheet music and chords plus a YouTube link to each song.
More links will be added as time permits especially where they are absent from my old website. Let me know if I need to give priority to music that you would appreciate. In the meantime use the links taking you to Singing Games for Children.
