Sunny Bank

You get and mp3 of the Amidons’ recording and pdfs of the arrangement, one in the key of C and one in the key of D.  Peter and Mary Alice first sang this as a duo piece.  A few years ago Peter added a piano part and simple choral harmonization.  You get the guitar chords and the piano/choral arrangement, so you can perform the song solo, unison or with choral harmonies, and the song can be accompanied by guitar, piano or both. This “Sunny Bank” is a American version of the traditional English Christmas carol.  It is a wonderful carol for children and/or adults. Here is a performance by the Guilford Community Church Choir performing an early version of Peter’s piano/guitar/choral arrangement of “Sunny Bank”:

Here are the lyrics:

As I sat on a sunny bank, a sunny bank, a sunny bank,
As I sat on a sunny bank on Christmas day in the morning.

I saw three ships come sailing in, come sailing in, come sailing in,
I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas Day in the morning.

And who was in those ships all three…

Joseph and his sweet Lady…

And he did whistle and she did sing…

And all the bells on earth did ring…

And all the angels they did sing…

As I sat on a sunny bank…
