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 day It 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. Pop! goes the weasel. Up and down the City Road, In and out of the Eagle, That's the way the money goes. Pop! goes the weasel. 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, Dinah, won't you blow your horn? Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow, 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, Susanna, don't you cry.

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, 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.

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, 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 wootsey In 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. In 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 wootsey In the good old summer time.

Man on the Flying Trapeze

Traditional Written By: George Leybourne Copyright 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

ALBUM: CHILDREN `S FAVORITE SONGS. WALT DISNEY RECORDS. 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. 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. 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!" 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. One night to his tent He invited her in,

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 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. 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. 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.

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 With the greatest of ease, 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.

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!"

The Blue Tail Fly (Jimmy Crack Corn)

When I was young I used to wait On master and hand him his plate Pass him the bottle when he got dry And brush away the blue-tail fly Chorus =============== Jimmy crack corn, and I don't Jimmy crack corn, and I don't Jimmy crack corn, and I don't My master's gone away =============== ==== care care care ====

When he would ride in the afternoon I'd follow him with my hickory broom The pony being rather shy When bitten by the blue-tail fly Chorus One day he rode around the farm Flies so numerous that they did swarm One chanced to bite him on the thigh The devil take the blue-tail fly Chorus Well the pony jumped, he start, he pitch He threw my master in the ditch He died and the jury wondered why The verdict was the blue-tail fly Chorus Now he lies beneath the 'simmon tree His epitaph is there to see "Beneath this stone I'm forced to lie The victim of the blue-tail fly"

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 half crazy/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
