Outtakes:

The "Children's Album" was recorded at various sessions between 1971 and 1973, which makes it difficult to talk about outtakes from this album. Potentially thematically similar songs recorded at the same time, however, includes 1. Watermelon Song, 2. Billy Goat Song, 3. Do You Love Jesus, Jesus Loves Me, 4. Sunday Go To Meeting Suit, 5. Little Green Men. All of which remain unreleased. Another outtake, The Story Of The Bear In The Woods was included on a 2005 promotional box set released to commemorate Bear Family's 30th Anniversary (all songs on the box had to do with "bears"). The song was later included on Columbia's own reissue of "Children's Album" as well.
