4-H Club Songbook
A spirited celebration of community, tradition, and youth leadership, The 4-H Club Songbook captures the heart of a movement where music was as essential as the clover emblem itself. First published in 1929, this beloved collection brought together official 4-H songs and popular folk tunes, complete with lyrics and musical notation—making it a staple at club meetings, camps, fairs, and national gatherings.
Inside its 64 pages, readers find songs like “Dreaming,” “The 4-H Clover,” “Club Work,” and “4-H Will Shine,” alongside classics such as “Oh Susanna” and “Abide with Me.” Whether sung around a campfire or in a crowded auditorium, these melodies fostered unity, joy, and a shared sense of purpose among generations of 4-H members.
More than just a songbook, it’s a living artifact of American rural youth culture—where leadership was learned in harmony, and every voice mattered. Perfect for collectors, educators, and anyone who remembers the joy of singing “Hail! Hail! The Clubs All Here.”
