Sing brothers, and sing sisters
We're all leaving today
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
To a new land far away
Get started, be light hearted
There's no time for delay
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
To a new land far away
Everyone playing in the sun
Without a worry or care
Children dancing through fields of daisies
With rose buds in their hair
Oh, sing brothers, and sing sisters
We're all leaving today
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
To a new land far away

As performed by CECILY COURTNEIDGE in the film
"Aunt Sally" as a medley with the song "The Wind's
In The West", also written by Harry Woods:
Come you weary, raise your eyes
See the sun in the sky
Here's the new day, come at last
Bid your cares goodbye
Sing brothers, and sing sisters
We're all leaving today
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
To a new land far away
Get started, be light hearted
There's no need for delay
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
To a new land far away
Everyone playing in the sun
Without a worry or care
Children dancing through fields of daisies
With rose buds in their hair, ah-ah-ah
Sing brothers, and sing sisters
We're all leaving today
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
To a new land far away
The wind's in the west
It's sunny above
I'm walking through clover
With someone I love
The showers have passed
I'm happy at last
The south wind's warm in the west
Hot-cha-cha, hot-cha-cha-cha-cha
Goodbye, goodbye my tears
All my summers are gone, the sun's rosy red
And I'm tellin' ya, folks, from now on
There's love and there's laughter for me up ahead
And heaven, yes heaven
Oh, mammy, mammy, mammy, mammy
Heaven it seems has at last
Has finally answered my dreams
And the wind, the wind's in the west
And so's mine
Oh, sing brothers, and sing sisters
We're all leaving today
And ..... Come on now, boys, all sing together
Let's hear your voices
(To a new land) far away
Get started, be light hearted
Now, come on, I want to hear a lot more singing, ooohh
And we'll all go riding on a rainbow
That's the stuff!
(To a new land) far away
Everyone playing in the sun
Without a worry or care
Children dancing through fields of daisies
(With rose buds in their hair)
Oooh, sing brothers (and sing sisters)
Come on, that's the stuff
(We're all) We're leaving today
(And we'll all go riding) on a rainbow
To a new land far away

An extra verse that's very seldom heard:
Hear the robin in the trees
There's good cheer in his song
Join the chorus everyone
As we march along
