4. For some reason, our school music teachers never had guitars.

They did have autoharps. I remember us singing #s 2, 6, 8, 10, and also:

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
The Erie Canal - the version that starts with, "I got a mule, her name is Sal."
The Titanic - the version with, "It was sad when the great ship went down"
America the Beautiful
This Land is Your Land
The Boll Weevil
One Tin Soldier
We've only Just Begun - (I still hate this song as much as I did in sixth grade.)
