Wildflower Ramble
Wildflower Ramble Warble
Tune: The Happy Wanderer Lyrics: Silvia Lange, March 1996
We love to go awandering around the Perimeter Road
And as we hike
Identify the flowers that are showed
Filaree, filarah, Filaree, filarah, ha, ha, ha ha, ha
Filaree, filarah
Lavender scissors and clocks
We love to go awandering along the Ridge that’s North
And as we hike
Identify the flowers that come forth
Zigadene, zigadie, Zigadene, Zigadie, die, die, die, die
Zigadene zigadie
White Fremont’s star lily
We love to go awandering down the Sunset Trail
And as we hike
Identify the flowers that we hail
Hound’s tongue, Forget-me-not
Hound’s tongue, Forget-me-not, not, not, not, not, not
Hound’s tongue, Forget-me-not
Blue Hound’s tongue, Forget-me-not
We love to go awandering all over Angel Isle
Don’t touch this plant! Twill make you itch
Twill make you curse and wail
Poison oak, Poison oak
Leaves of red, leaves of green, green, green, green
Poison oak, Poison oak
Three leaves of red and green

Silvia's Angel Island song
A…………………..ngel Island
Sung to tune of Okalahoma, lyrics by Silvia Lange 5/16/2002
A……………………ngel Island
Is the jewel of San Francisco Bay
Full of mystery and history
What a wondrous way to spend the day
Chorus:
We know we belong to our Isle
And our Isle that we love makes us smile
So when we say Yip hi yippee yippee yeah
We’re only saying, “You’re doing fine, Angel Island
Angel Island, OK!”
A…………………….ngel Island
We can see your halo shining bright
You can take a hike or ride your bike
You can even camp there over night
Chorus:
A……………………..ngel Island
Where the fog comes right before the rain
And the poison oak is not a joke
The itch can make you go insane
Chorus:
A…………………….ngel Island
Can’t you hear her calling to you now
So put down your booze; lace up your shoes
Come on Raccoons, let’s show them how
