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!

Can’t you hear the captain shouting, “Dinah, blow your horn!” 9. THE EENCY WEENCY SPIDER The eency weency spider went up the water spout Down came the rain and washed the spider out Out came the sun and dried up all the rain Now the eency weency spider goes up the spout again 10. THE 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 got fishin’ down the crawdad hole! Honey! Baby, mine! Sitting on the bank till my feet get cold, honey! Sitting on the bank till my feet get cold, babe! Sitting on the bank till my feet get cold looking down that crawdad hole! Honey! Baby, mine! Yonder comes a man with a pack on his back, honey Yonder comes a man with a pack on his back, babe Yonder comes a man with a pack on his back packing all the crawdads he can pack! Honey! Baby, mine!

MY GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK My grandfather’s clock was too large for the shelf so it stood ninety years on the floor It was taller by half than the old man himself though it weighed not a pennyweight more It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born And was always his treasure and pride

But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died! Refrain Ninety years without slumbering, tick-­‐tock, tick-­‐tock His life seconds numbering, tick-­‐tock, tick-­‐tock It stopped short never to go again when the old man died In watching its pendulum swing to and fro many hours had he spent while a boy And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know and to share both his grief and his joy For it struck twenty-­‐four when he entered in the door With a blooming and beautiful bride But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died (repeat Refrain) My grandfather said that of those he could hire not a servant so faithful he found For it wasted no time and had but one desire at the close of each week to be wound And it kept on its face not a frown upon its face And its hand never hung by its side But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died (repeat Refrain) It rang an alarm in the dead of the night–an alarm that for years had been dumb And we knew that his spirit was pluming his flight–that the hour of departure had come But the clock kept the time with its soft and muffled chime As we silently stood by his side But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died (repeat Refrain) 12. THREE BLIND MICE Three blind mice 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? 13. THE FOX The fox went out on a chilly night, prayed for the moon to give him light He had many a mile to go that night before he reached the town-­‐O! He ran til he came to a great big bin, the ducks and the geese were kept therein And he said, “A couple of you are gonna grease my chin before I leave this town-­‐O!” He grabbed the gray goose by the neck, he throwed a duck across his back He didn’t mind the quack quack quack, or the legs all dangling down-­‐O! Then old Mother Flipper-­‐Flopper jumped out of bed, and out of the window she stuck her head She cried, “John, John, the gray goose is gone and the fox is on the town-­‐O!” Then John he went to the top of the hill, he blew his horn both loud and shrill The fox, he said, “I better flee with my kill or they’ll soon be on my trail-­‐O!” He ran til he came to his cozy den, and there were the little ones, eight, nine, ten, Sayin’ “Daddy, you better go back again, ‘cause it must be a mighty fine town-­‐O!” Well the fox and his wife, without any strife, they cut up the goose with a carving knife, They never had such a supper in their life, and the little ones chewed on the bones-­‐O! 14. HUSH LITTLE BABY Hush, little baby, don’t say a word, Poppa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird, If that mockingbird don’t sing, Poppa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring If that ring is made of brass

Poppa’s gonna buy you a looking glass If that looking glass gets broke Poppa’s gonna buy you a billy goat If that billy goat don’t pull Poppa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull If that cart and bull turn over Poppa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover If that dog named Rover don’t bark Poppa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart If that horse and cart fall down You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town. 15. OH, SUSANNA! Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee Goin’ to Louisiana, my Susanna for to see Rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry Sun so hot I froze to death, Susanna don’t you cry! Oh Susanna, oh don’t you cry for me, Cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee! I had a dream the other night, when everything was still I thought I saw Susanna just a-­‐comin’ down the hill A red red rose was in her hand, tear was in her eye, I said I come from Dixieland, Susanna don’t you cry! 16. HICKORY DICKORY DOCK Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse ran up the clock The clock struck one, and down he run Hickory Dickory Dock 17.

Would you like to know the Muffin Man? He lives on Drury Lane? 20. CLEMENTINE In a cavern in a canyon, excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner, forty-­‐nine, 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 Refrain Oh my darlin', oh my darlin', oh my darlin' Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, dreadful sorry Clementine. Drove she ducklings to the water every morning just at nine,

Hit her foot against a splinter, fell into the foamy brine. Ruby lips above the water, blowing bubbles soft and fine But alas, I was no swimmer, so I lost my Clementine. (repeat Refrain) Then the mine, forty-­‐niner, soon began to peak and pine, Thought he oughta join his daughter, now he's with his Clementine (repeat Refrain) In my dreams she still doth haunt me, broken garments soaked in brine, Though in life I used to hug her, now she's dead, I draw the line. (repeat Refrain) 21. BOUGHT ME A CAT Well, I bought me a cat, the cat pleased me I fed my cat under yonder tree. The cat goes Fiddle-­‐aye-­‐fee.
