FIVE LITTLE DUCKS

Five little ducks

Went out one dayOver the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."

But only four little ducks came back.

Four little ducks

Went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack, quack."But only three little ducks came back.

Three little ducks

Went out one day


Mother duck said


But only two little ducks came back.

Two little ducks

Went out one day


Mother duck said


But only one little duck came back.

One little duck

Went out one day

Over the hill and far awayMother duck said


But none of the five little ducks came back.

Sad mother duck

Went out one day


The sad mother duck said

"Quack, quack, quack."And all of the five little ducks came back.

MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB

Mary had a little lamb,

Little lamb, little lamb,

Mary had a little lamb,Its fleece was white as snow

Everywhere that Mary went,

Mary went, Mary went,

Everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day

School one day, school one dayIt followed her to school one day

Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play,

Laugh and play, laugh and play,

It made the children laugh and play

To see a lamb at school

And so the teacher turned it out,

Turned it out, turned it out,

And so the teacher turned it out,

But still it lingered near

And waited patiently about,

Patiently about, patiently about,

And waited patiently about

Till Mary did appear

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

Love Mary so? Love Mary so?

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?"

The eager children cry

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."

Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know."The teacher did reply

THE ANIMAL FAIR

I went to the animal fair,

The birds and the beasts were there,The big baboon by the light of the moon

Was combing his auburn hair,

The monkey bumped the skunk,

And sat on the elephant's trunk;

The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees,

And that was the end of the monk,

The monk, the monk, the monk,

The monk, the monk, the monk.

Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice,

Three blind mice

See how they run,

See how they run!

They all ran after

The farmer's wife

She cut off their tails

With a carving knife

Did you ever see

Such a sight in your life

As three blind mice?

(Can also be sung as a round)

All Around The Mullberry Bush

Written by: Unknown Copyright: Unknown

All around the mulberry bush

The monkey chased the weasel.

The monkey thought 'twas all in fun.

Pop! goes the weasel.

A penny for a spool of thread,

A penny for a needle.

That's the way the money goes.


Up and down the City Road,

In and out of the Eagle,

That's the way the money goes.


Half a pound of tuppenney rice,

Half a pound of treacle,

Mix it up and make it nice,

Pop! goes the weasel

I've Been Working on the Railroad

I've been workin' on the railroad,

All the live long day.

I've been workin' on the railroad,

Just to pass the time away.

Don't you hear the whistle blowing?

Rise up so early in the morn.

Don't you hear the captain shouting

"Dinah, blow your horn?"

Dinah, won't you blow,


Dinah, won't you blow your horn?



Dinah, won't you blow your horn?

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah.

Someone's in the kitchen, I know.

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah

Strumming on the old banjo.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o-o-o-o.

Fee, fie, fiddle-e-i-o.Strumming on the old banjo.

O Susanna

Traditional

Written By: Stephen Foster

Copyright Unknown

I came from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee,I'm goin' to Louisiana

My true love for to see;

It rained all night the day I left,

The weather it was dry;

The sun so hot I froze to death;

Susanna, don't you cry.

O, Susanna,O, don't you cry for me,

I've come from Alabama

With my banjo on my knee.

O, Susanna,

O, don't you cry for me,

'Cause I'm goin' to Louisiana,

My true love for to see.

I had a dream the other night

When ev'rything was still;

I thought I saw Susanna

A-comin' down the hill;

The buckwheat cake was in her mouth,

The tear was in her eye;

Says I, I'm comin' from the south,

O, Susanna,



With my banjo on my knee.O, Susanna,




I soon will be in New Orleans,

And then I'll look around,

And when I find Susanna

I'll fall upon the ground.

And if I do not find her,

Then I will surely die,

And when I'm dead and buried,


O, Susanna,



With my banjo on my knee.

O, Susanna,

In the Good Old Summer Time

Traditional

Written By: Ren Shields

Music By: George Evans

Copyright Unknown

There's a time in each year

That we always hold dear,

Good old summer time;

With the birds and the treeses

And sweet-scented breezes,

Good old summer time.

When your day's work is over

Then you are in clover,And life is one beautiful rhyme,

No trouble annoying

Each one is enjoying,

The good old summer time.

In the good old summer time,


Strolling thro' the shady lanes,

With your baby mine;

You hold her hand and she holds yours,

And that's a very good sign

That she's your tootsey wootseyIn the good old summer time.

To swim in the pool,

You'd play "hooky" from school,

Good old summer time;

You'd play "ring-a-rosie"

With Jim, Kate and Josie,

Good old summer time,

Those days full of pleasure

We now fondly treasure,

When we never thought it a crime,To go stealing cherries,

With face brown as berries,

Good old summer time.



Strolling thro' the shady lanes,

With your baby mine;

You hold her hand and she holds yours,

And that's a very good sign

That she's your tootsey wootsey

In the good old summer time.

Dixie Land

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton

Old times there are not forgotten

Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.

In Dixie Land where I was born in

Early on one frosty mornin'


Oh, I wish I was in Dixie! Hooray! Hooray!

In Dixie Land I'll take my stand

To live and die in Dixie

Away, away, away down south in Dixie

Away, away, away down south in Dixie!

Old Missus marry Will, the weaver,

William was a gay deceiver


But when he put his arm around her

He smiled as fierce as a forty pounder


His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver

But that did not seem to grieve her

Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land.Old Missus acted the foolish part

And died for a man that broke her heart

Look away! Look away! Look away!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Written By: Jack Norworth & Albert Von Tilzer

Copyright Unknown

Take me out

To the ball game

Take me out

With the crowd

Buy me some peanuts

And Crackerjack

I don't care if

I never never get back

Let me root, root root

For the home team

If they don't win

It's a shame

For it's one, two,

Three strikes you're out

At the old ball game!

THIS OLD MAN

This old man, he played one,

He played knick-knack on my thumb;

Knick-knack paddywhack,

Give a dog a bone,

This old man came rolling home.

This old man, he played two,

He played knick-knack on my shoe;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played three,

He played knick-knack on my knee;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played four,

He played knick-knack on my door;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played five,

He played knick-knack on my hive;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played six,

He played knick-knack on my sticks;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played seven,

He played knick-knack up in Heaven;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played eight,

He played knick-knack on my gate;


Give a dog a bone,


This old man, he played nine,

He played knick-knack on my spine;

Man on the Flying Trapeze

Traditional

Written By: George LeybourneCopyright Unknown

Once I was happy,

But now I'm forlorn,

Like an old coat

That is tattered and torn;

Left in this wide world

To weep and to mourn,

Betrayed by a maid in her teens.

Now this girl that I loved,

She was handsome,

And I tried all I knew

Her to please,

But I never could please her

One quarter so well

As the man on the flying trapeze.

Oh, he floats through the air

With the greatest of ease,

This daring young man

On the flying trapeze;

His actions are graceful,

All girls he does please,

My love he has purloined away.

He'd play with a miss

Like a cat with a mouse,

His eyes would undress

Every girl in the house.Perhaps he is better


13/28

Described as a louse,

But the people they came just the same.

Oh, he'd smile from his perch

On the people below

And one day he

Smiled on my love.

She blew him a kiss

And she hollered, "Bravo!"

As he hung by his nose up above.




On the flying trapeze;His actions are graceful,



Oh, I wept and I whimpered,

I simpered for weeks,

While she spent her time

With the circus's freaks.

The tears were like hailstones

That rolled down my cheeks,

Alas, and alack, and alacka!

I went to this fellow,

The blackguard, and said,

"I'll see that you get

Your desserts!"

He put up his thumb to his nose

With a sneer,

He sneered once again, and said, "Nertz!"








One night to his tentHe invited her in,


14/28


14

He filled her with compliments,

Kisses, and gin

And started her out

On the road to ruin,

Since then l have known no repose.

But e'en now l loved her, I said,

"Take my name!

I'll gladly forgive

And forget;"

She rustled her bustle

Without any shame,

Saying, "Well, maybe later, not yet."

Oh, he floats through the airWith the greatest of ease,






One night as usual

I went to her home,

And found there

Her father and mother alone,

I asked for my love,

And it soon was made known,

To my horror, that she'd run away.

Without any trousseau,

She'd fled in the night

With him with the

Greatest of ease,

From two stories high

He'd lowered her down

To the ground on his flying trapeze.






All girls he does please,My love he has purloined away.


15/28

Some months after that

I went into a hall,

And to my surprise

I found there on the wall,

A bill in red letters

Which did my heart gall,

That she was appearing with him.

Oh, he'd taught her gymnastics,

And dressed her in tights,

To help him to live

At his ease,

He'd made her take on

A masculine name,And now she goes on the trapeze.

Oh, she floats through the air


You'd think her a man

On the flying trapeze,

She does all the work

While he takes his ease,

And that's what's become of my love.

Daisy, Daisy

Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.I'm half crazy all for the love of you.

It won't be a stylish marriage,I can't afford a carriage.

But you'll look sweet,

Upon the seat,Of a bicycle made for two.

Michael, Micheal, here is your answer true.I'm not crazy all for the love of you.

There won't be any marriage,if you can't afford a carriage.

'Cause I'll be switched,if I get hitched,

on a bicycle built for two!"

When he would ride in the afternoonI'd follow him with my hickory broom

The pony being rather shyWhen bitten by the blue-tail fly

One day he rode around the farmFlies so numerous that they did swarmOne chanced to bite him on the thigh

The devil take the blue-tail fly

Chorus

Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitchHe threw my master in the ditch

He died and the jury wondered whyThe verdict was the blue-tail fly

Chorus

Now he lies beneath the 'simmon treeHis epitaph is there to see

"Beneath this stone I'm forced to lieThe victim of the blue-tail fly"

The Mail Must Go Through.

When you mail a letter, you can send it anywhere.

On foot, by truck, or aeroplane, the postman gets it there.

So write a letter to your friend, maybe she'll write you.No matter what you always know, the mail must go through.

Well, the mail must go through.

The mail must go through.

No matter if it rains or snows, the mail must go through.

I said the mail must go through.

The mail must go through.

No matter if it rains or snows, the mail must go through.Some folks live in a city, some live in a little town.

And even if you live out on a farm, there's a postman making his rounds.

So mail someone a letter, even just a card will do.

You know it's nice when the postman has a letter in his sack for you

Home on the Range

Written By: Brewster Higley, Music By: Daniel Kelley,Copyright: Unknown

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam

And the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play



How often at night when the heavens are bright

With the light from the glittering stars

Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed

If their glory exceeds that of ours





Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so freeThe breezes so balmy and light


20/28


20

That I would not exchange my home on the range

For all of the cities so bright



Where seldom is heard a discouraging wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day

Oh, I love those wild flow'rs in this dear land of ours

The curlew, I love to hear scream

And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks

That graze on the mountaintops green

A BYCICLE BUILT FOR TWO

Daisy, Daisy,Give me your answer, do,

I'm half crazy,All for the love of you.

It won't be a stylish marriage,I can't afford a carriage,

But you'll look sweet,Upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two.

''Bicycle Built For Two'' also known as ''Daisy Daisy'' is a well known song from the 19th

century but surprisingly, it's lyrics ("Daisy, Daisy/Give me your answer do/I'm halfcrazy/all for the love of you" as well as the line "...a bicycle built for two") are more

famously known compared to the song's actual title "Daisy Bell".

"Daisy Bell" was composed by English composer Harry Dacre in 1892 and gained its

popularity from performances in London music halls.

Dixie

Dixie" was written by Daniel Decatur Emmett of Mount Vernon, Ohio, and

premiered in September of 1859 in New York. According to an article by Mike

Petee in the Knox County Observer, Mount Vernon, Ohio, Dan Emmett learned to

play various instruments at a young age, including the banjo, fife, fiddle and a small

drum. He was enlisted in a Minstrel group when they stopped in Mount Vernon

and needed a replacement for a sick player, beginning a long musical career.

Although best known as the song adopted by the Confederacy, "Dixie" was also

Abraham Lincoln's favorite song, and it was played at his inauguration. Even

though Abe Lincoln loved and supported the song, Dan Emmett was ostracized in

the North for writing a song associated with the South. In his last performance in

Mount Vernon, it is reported that he cried when he was warmly welcomed and

given a standing ovation as it's writer.It is still considered to be one of the top two

or three songs associated with the history of this country.

And although the song is credited to Emmett, he had indicated that the melody was

partially inspired by a tune his mother sung to him as a child; and others believe a

similar tune was sung around plantations and around the Mississippi River for

several generations. In the original version shown for the second line of the first

verse below, the words "cinnamon seed and sandy bottom" were referred to by the

soldiers when they reached an area in Missouri where they found catfish and

sassafras for tea for sale.

Oh, I wish I was in the land of cotton,Old times there are not forgotten, {Alt Original:Cinnamon seed and sandy

bottom,]Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.

In Dixie Land, where I was born in,early on one frosty mornin',

Look away, look away, look away Dixie Land.

I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray! Hooray!In Dixie Land I'll take my stand

But when he put his arm around 'er,He smiled fierce as a forty pounder,Look away! Look away! Look away!

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaverBut that did not seem to grieve 'er


Ole Missus acted the foolish partAnd died for a man that broke her heart


Now here's a health to the next ole MissusAn' all the gals that want to kiss us;Look away! Look away! Look away!
