Caravan Club Songs
Home on the Road
(sung to Home on the Range)

Oh give me a home that will roam where I roam,
A home that will stay where I play
No garden to hoe, no tall grass to mow
And a flock of new neighbors each day.

Chorus

Home, home on the road
Where all the trailerites throng
With never a fear of no lodging place near
Cause we're pulling our trailer along.

A home that will go
From the cold and the snow,
And park in the tropical sun
You pull in your place and scan each new face,
And soon you have met everyone.
                                            (Chorus)

And the people you meet just can't be beat,
They are happy, witty and gay.
May we meet again with our neighbor and friend,
As we roam on the endless highway.
                                           (Chorus)
Roll Out Your Airstreams
(sung to Roll Out the Barrels)

Roll out your Airstreams
This is the Club we love best
Roll out your Airstreams
Airstreams now lead all the rest
Where there are highways
Airstreams will stay on the beam
When you hook up to a trailer
It should be an Airstream.
Trailers A'Rolling
(Sung to As the Caissons go Rollin' Along)

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the crooked trail
Keep those trailers a-rolling along.
We're from here, we're from there
We're from almost everywhere
And we're always a-singing a song.

Singing hi, hi, he
For WBCC,
Hurry, hurry, hurry
Loud and strong
Halifax or bust
Dodge the rocks and eat the dust
Keep those trailers a-rolling along.
My mother recently came across a booklet of 'trailer club' songs that my uncle Cyrus had given her some years ago, and passed it along to me, as the new RVer in the family.  My uncle had an Airstream, and he and his wife used to caravan frequently with other Airstreamers. I'm guessing these are from the 1960s; some are a real hoot!
