Barges, I would like to go with you

I'm away on a training weekend with Guiders this weekend. I'm sure I'm having a wonderful time with people I love being with, and singing one of my favourite Guiding songs.

Out of my window, looking in the night
I can see the barges' flickering light
Silently flows the river to the sea
and the barges too goo silently

Barges, I would like to go with you

I would like to sail the ocean blue

Barges, have you treasures in your hold

Do you fight with pirates, brave and bold.

Out of my window, looking in the night

I can see the barges' flickering light

Starboard shine green and port is glowing red

In the night the signal far ahead

Barges, I would like to go with you

I would like to sail the ocean blue

Barges, on the river you may roam

On the river, always, you're at home

And thanks to YouTube I've learnt a new verse:

Looking from my tentflap, looking in the night

I can see the Guiders' cigarette lights,

Silently flows a whisky to the glass as the Guiders have some fun at last.

Guiders, who is that man in your tent?

Isn't it about time that he went?

Guiders, how I long to be with you, I would like to have some whisky too.
