A-tisket, a-tasket

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!

Cindy
Oh have you seen my Cindy
She comes from way down south
And she’s so sweet the honey bees
Just swarm around her mouth
Chorus:
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I’ll marry you some day
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I’ll marry you some day
I wish I were an apple
A-hangin’ on a tree
And every time my Cindy passed
She’d take a bite of me
Chorus

She comes from way down south
And she’s so sweet the honey bees
Just swarm around her mouth

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 I’ll get a pole, Honey,
You get a line and I’ll get a pole, Babe,
You get a line and I’ll get a pole,
We’ll 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 ain’t no crawdads in this lake,
Honey, Baby mine.

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?
Doodle-dee-doo, doodle-dee-doo.
What are you after? What are you after?
Doodle-dee-doo, doodle-dee-doo.

All you’ve 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!

"Did you ever see a bear combing his hair
Down by the bay?"

Down by the bay?"

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 don’t 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!

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 Satan’s 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
They’re always in the way
Chorus:
Oh, they’re always in the way
The cows eat them for hay
They hide the dirt on Grandpa’s shirt
They’re 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 it’s 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
Chorus

Until I gave it all to you.
So guard it well as I have done,
For you have two I have none
Now I will lay down off to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I see the moon…

Safely we will be.”

But penciled o’er 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.
Chorus

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 !

The tear was in her eye
Said I, I’m coming down and from the south
Susanna, don’t you cry

I soon will be in New Orleans
And then I’ll look all ‘round
And when I find Susanna
I’ll fall upon the ground
But if I do not find her
This darkey’ll surely die
And when I’m dead and buried
Susanna, don’t you cry

Throwed Dan Tucker on top of a stump.

Red hot coal got in his shoe,

The limb is broke and Dan got a fall,
Never got to see his Lord at all.

To get some meal to put in the swill
The miller swore by the point of his knife
He’d never seen such a man in his life.

Simple Simon met a pieman
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 mother’s 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.

Counting out his money
The queen was in the parlor
Eating bread and honey
The maid was in the garden
Hanging out the clothes
Along there came a big blackbird
And snipped off her nose!

A mother-in-law
From sipping cider right through a straw.

In China they never grow chilly
So sing me one more verse

“A canner can can anything that he can
But a canner can’t can a can, can he?”

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 church with the steeple blown away

Turkey in the Straw
As I went to milk and I didn’t know how
I milked the goat instead of the cow
There a monkey sittin’ on a pile of straw
And he’s 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 couldn’t get across
So I paid five dollars to a big bay hoss
Well, he couldn’t go ahead and he wouldn’t 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?

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 couldn’t see where to go,
If you did not twinkle so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.

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
