Tramping

(sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells”)

Dashing o’er the snow
Jumping fence and drift
O’er the fields we go
Upon our snow shoes swift
Blue tuque [hat] on our head
Snow shoes strapped on tight
Oh what fun it is to tramp
Out on a moonlight night.

Tramping boys, Tramping boys
O’er many a mile we go,
Oh what fun it is to tramp
Across the trackless snow

Mishaps at times we meet
As o’er the snow we dash
Sometimes a strap we break
Or perhaps a shoe we smash
Sometimes we get a spill
And away we sprawling lie
While up there goes a merry shout
From the fellows tramping bye.
