A green and yellow basket

I wrote a letter to my love

On the way I lost it

And put it in her pocket

A-tisket, a-tasket

A green and yellow basket

I wrote a letter to my love

On the way I dropped it

I dropped it, I dropped it

On the way I dropped it

A little boy picked it up

And put it in his pocket

A Sailor Went to Sea

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea

To see what he could see, see, see

But all that he could see, see, see

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

Oh, Helen had a steamboat

The steamboat had a bell

When Helen went to heaven

The steamboat went to hell

Ask me for a muffin

I'll give you some old bread

And if you od not like it

Just go and soak your head

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea

To see what he could see, see, see

But all that he could see, see, see

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!

Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!

Clementine
In a cavern, in a canyon
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner
And his daughter Clementine

Light she was, and like a fairy


And her shoes were number nine
Herring boxes without topses
Sandals were for Clementine

Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
I'm so sorry, Clementine

Walking lightly as a fairy


Though her shoes were number nine
Sometimes tripping, lightly skipping
Lovely girl, my Clementine

Drove the ducklings to the water


Every morning just at nine
Hit her foot against a splinter
Fell into the foaming brine

Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
I'm so sorry, Clementine

10
Then the miner, forty-niner
Soon began to fret and pine
Thought he oughter join his daughter
So he's now with Clementine

I'm so lonely, lost without her


Wish I'd had a fishing line
Which I might have cast about her
Might have saved my Clementine

Oh my darling, oh my darling
Oh my darling Clementine
You are lost and gone forever
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Listen fellers, heed the warning


Of this tragic tale of mine
Artificial respiration
Could have saved my Clementine

How I missed her, how I missed her


How I missed my Clementine
Til I kissed her little sister
And forgot my Clementine

11
Crawdad Song

You get a line and Ill get a pole, Honey,


You get a line and Ill get a pole, Babe,
You get a line and Ill get a pole,
Well go fishin in the crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.

Sittin on the bank til my feet get cold, Honey,


Sittin on the bank til my feet get cold, Babe,
Sittin on the bank til my feet get cold,
Lookin down that crawdad hole,
Honey, Baby mine.

Younder comes a man with a sack on his back, Honey,


Younder comes a man with a sack on his back, Babe,
Younder comes a man with a sack on his back,
Packin all the crawdads he can pack,
Honey, Baby mine.

The man fell down and he broke that sack, Honey,


The man fell down and he broke that sack, Babe,
The man fell down and he broke that sack,
See those crawdads backing back,
Honey, Baby mine.

I heard the duck say to the drake, Honey,


I heard the duck say to the drake, Babe,
I heard the duck say to the drake,
There aint no crawdads in this lake,
Honey, Baby mine.

Dance to Your Daddy
Dance to your daddy, my bonnie laddy,

Dance to your daddy, my bonnie lamb.

You shall get a fishy when the boat comes in.

Dance to your daddy, my bonnie laddy,

Dance to your daddy, my bonnie lamb.

You shall get a coakie, and a pair of breekies,

And you'll get an eggy, and a bit of ham.

And you'll get a whippy, for to make him gang.

Dance to your daddy, my bonnie lamb,

Dance to your daddy, my bonnie laddy,

Dance to your daddy, my bonnie lamb.

Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your ears hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie them in a knot?

Can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them over your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier?

Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears hang high?

Do they reach up to the sky?

Do they wrinkle when they're wet

Do they straighten when they're dry?

Can you wave them at your neighbour

With an element of flavor?

Do your ears hang high?

Do your ears hang wide?

Do they flap from side to side?

Do they wave in the breeze

From the slightest little sneeze?

Can you soar above the nation

With a feeling of elevation

Do your ears hang wide?

14
Do your ears fall off

When you give a great big cough?

Do they lie on the ground

Or bounce up at every sound?

Can you stick them in your pocket

Just like Davy Crockett?

Do your ears fall off?

Do your ears hang low?

Do they wobble to and fro?

Can you tie them in a knot?

Can you tie them in a bow?

Can you throw them over your shoulder

Like a Continental Soldier?

Do your ears hang low?

Doodle Dee Doo

What are you after? What are you after?

All youve got to do is doodle-dee-doo.

I like the rest of it, but what I like best

Is doodle-dee-doo, do-dee-do!

Father Grumble
There was an old woman, there was an old man
Who never could agree
He said he could do more work in a day
Than she could do in three.
Now said the old woman unto the old man
If this you will allow,
Why, you shall stay at home today
An' I'll go follow the plow.
So why dont you milk the teeny cow
For fear she will go dry,
And you must feed the little pigs
That lay within the sty.
An' you must watch the speckled hen
For fear she'll go astray,
An' you must wind the bobbin of yarn
That I spun yesterday.
The old woman went, she picked up the shares
To go an' follow the plow,
The old man he picked up the pail
To milk the teeny cow.
And he went to feed the little pigs
That lay within the sty,
The old sow run up against his legs
An knocked him ten foot high.
When he went to watch the speckled hen
For fear she'd go astray,
He forgot to wind the bobbin of yarn
That his wife spun yesterday.
He swore by the sun, he swore by the stars
An' the green leaves on the tree,
That his wife could do more work in a day
Than he could do in three!

And then there were two.

And then there was one.

Sitting all alone,

And then there were none.

God Rest You Merry,
Gentlemen

God rest you merry, gentlemen,


Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satans power.
When we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in July,
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger,
Upon this blessed morn,
The which his mother Mary did
Nothing take in scorn.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

From God our heavenly Father


A blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same.
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

25
Fear not, then said the Angel,
Let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Saviour
Of virtue, power, and might,
So frequently to vanquish all
The friends of Satan quite.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

The shepherds of those tidings


Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a feeding,
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway
This blessed Babe to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Now to the Lord sing praises,


All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace,
This holy tide of Christmas,
Doth bring redeeming grace.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Grandpa's Whiskers
I have a dear old Grandpa
For whom I nightly pray
He has a set of whiskers
Theyre always in the way

Chorus:
Oh, theyre always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Grandpas shirt
Theyre always in the way

My Grandpa was a soldier


He fooled the enemy
He wrapped his whiskers round him
They thought he was a tree

Chorus

My Grandpa was a swimmer


No bathing suit for him
He tied his whiskers round his waist
And then he dove right in

Chorus

My Grandpa had a strong back


Now its all caved in
He stepped upon his whiskers
And walked up to his chin

27
Chorus

I have a dear old Grandma


She likes his whiskers too
She uses them for dusting
And cleaning out the flue

Chorus

His beard is getting longer


And longer every day
Grandma eats it in her sleep
Sais, it tastes like shredded wheat

The door was shut, as doors should be


Before you went to bed last night
Yet Jack Frost has got in you see
And left your window silver white

Chorus:
He must have waited till you slept
And not a single word he spoke
But penciled oer the panes and crept
Away again before you woke

And now you cannot see the hills


Nor fields that stretch beyond the lane
But there are fairer things than these
His fingers traced on every pane

Chorus

The door was shut, as doors should be


Before you went to bed last night
Yet Jack Frost has got in you see
And left your window silver white

Jingle Bells
Chorus:

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O What fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!

O What fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

Dashing through the snow, (2)

on a one-horse open sleigh

Over the fields we go,

Laughing all the way.

Bells on bobtail ring,

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight!

Chorus

A day or two ago

I thought I'd take a ride,

And soon, Miss Fanny Bright

Was seated by my side.

The horse was lean and lank,

Misfortune seemed his lot,

He got into a drifted bank

And then we got upsot.

41
Chorus

A day or two ago,

The story I must tell

I went out on the snow,

And on my back I fell.

A gent was riding by

In a one-horse open sleigh,

He laughed as there I sprawling lie,

But quickly drove away.

Chorus

Now the ground is white,

Go it while you're young;

Take the girls tonight,

And sing this sleighing song.

Just get a bobtailed bay,

Two-forty as his speed,

Hitch him to an open sleigh

And crack! you'll take the lead.

Make New Friends

Make new friends, but keep the old.


One is silver, and the other is gold.

A circle is round, it has no end.


That's how long, then I will be your friend.

A fire burns bright, it warms the heart.


We've been friends, from the very start.

You have one hand, I have the other.


Put them together, we have each other.

Silver is precious, gold is too.


I am precious, and so are you.

You help me,and I'll help you


And together we will see it through.

The sky is blue, the Earth is green


We can help to keep it clean

Across the land, across the sea


Friends forever we will always be !

To see a lamb at school

Going to the fair,
Said Simple Simon to the pieman
Let me taste your ware.

Said the pieman unto Simon,


Show me first your penny.
Said Simple Simon to the pieman,
Indeed I have not any.

Simple Simon went a-fishing


For to catch a whale,
But all the water he had got
Was in his mothers pail.

Simple Simon went to look


If plums grew on a thistle,
He pricked his fingers very much
Which made poor Simon whistle.

He went for water in a sieve


But soon it all fell through,
And now poor Simple Simon
Bids you all adieu.

Eating bread and honey

Hanging out the clothes

Along there came a big blackbird

And snipped off her nose!

He marched them up the hill

And marched them down again

And when youre up, youre up

And when youre down, youre down

And when youre only half-way down

Youre neither up nor down!

Chorus:
Aye-aye-aye-aye
In China they never grow chilly
So sing me one more verse
Thats worse than the first
Make sure that its foolish and silly

One morning remarked to his granny
A canner can can anything that he can
But a canner cant can a can, can he?

Said the two to the tutor, Is it tougher to toot
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?

Wished to marry a lady named Phoebe
But, he said, I must see what a ministers fee be
Before Phoebe be Phoebe Beebee

And the first thing that they found
Was a frog in a well and that they left behind
Look a flare now

Look at there now

They hunted and they hunted


And the next thing that they found
Was a barn in the woods and that they left behind
Look a there now
One said it was a barn and the other said nay
One said it was a church with the steeple blown away
Look at there now

And the next thing that they found
Was the moon in the sky and that they left behind
Look a there now
One said it was a moon and the other said nay
One said it was a cheese but the half was cut away
Look at there now

Was a frog in a well and that they left behind

Turkey in the Straw
As I went to milk and I didnt know how
I milked the goat instead of the cow
There a monkey sittin on a pile of straw
And hes giving a wink to his mother-in-law

Chorus:
Turkey in the straw (ha-ha-ha)

Turkey in the straw (ha-ha-ha)

Roll em up and twist em up

A high tuck a-haw

And hit em up a tune called

Turkey in the Straw

When I came to the river and I couldnt get across


So I paid five dollars to a big bay hoss
Well, he couldnt go ahead and he wouldnt stand still
So he went up and down like an old saw mill

Chorus

Did you ever go fishin on a warm summer day


When all of the fish were swimmin in the bay
With their hands in their pockets and their pockets
in their pants?
Did you ever see a fishie do the Hootchy-Kootchy
dance?

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

When the blazing sun is gone,

And that nothing shines upon,

Then you show your little night,

Twinkle, twinkle all the night.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

Then the traveler in the dark

Thanks you for your tiny spark

He couldnt see where to go,

If you did not twinkle so.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you are.

The old ark blew its whistle then

Yankee Doodle
Father and I went to camp
Along with Captain Gooding
There we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty pudding

Chorus:
Yankee Doodle, keep it up
Yankee Doodle dandy
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy

And there was Captain Washington


Upon a slapping stallion
Giving orders to his men
I guess there was a million

Chorus

And then we saw a swamping gun


Large as a log of maple
Upon a deuced little cart
A load for father's cattle

Chorus

And every time they shoot it off


It takes a horn of powder
It makes a noise like father's gun
Only a nation louder

Chorus

Uncle Sam came there to change


Some pancakes and some onions
For' lasses cake to carry home
To give his wife and young ones

Chorus

115
Cousin Simon grew so bold
I thought he would have cocked it
It scared me so I streaked it off
And hung by father's pocket

Chorus

And there I saw a pumpkin shell


As big as mother's basin
And every time they touched it off
They scampered like the nation

Chorus
