SHOO FLY/SKIP TO MY LOU - MEDLEY (2:09)

timetosleep

Pigs in the parlor, what’ll I do?
Cows in the kitchen, moo, cow, moo.
Chickens on the bed posts, buck, buck buck
Little red wagon painted blue.
Can’t get a red bird, a blue bird’ll do. Can’t get a red bird, a blue bird’ll do.

Let’s go dancing, Jim a-long Josie,
Let’s go dancing, Jim a-long Jo.
Let’s go dancing, Jim a-long Josie,
Let’s go dancing, Jim a-long Jo.


Let’s go walkin’, Jim a-long Josie,
Let’s go walkin’, Jim a-long Jo.
Let’s go walkin’, Jim a-long Josie,
Walkin’ and Talkin’, Jim a-long Jo.


Sun’s a shining, jim a-long Josie,
Shining like fire, Jim a-long Jo.
Sun’s a shinin’, Jim a-long Josie,
Let’s go Swimmin’, Jim a-long Jo.



MY HOME’S IN MONTANA (2:20)

timetosleep

We’re up with the sun when there’s work to be done,
In the wide-open spaces, that’s where we would be.
Out here in the West is the life we love best,
Montana’s home for my pony and me.


When far from the ranches, I chop the pine branches,
To heap on the campfire as daylight grows pale.
When I have partaken of beans and of bacon,
I whistle a merry old song of the trail.

OLD BLUE (1:53)

timetosleep

Chased a possum up a ‘simmon tree,
Chased a possum up a ‘simmon tree,
Chased a possum up a ‘simmon tree,
Blue looked at the possum, possum looked at me,
Singin’ “Here, Blue, you good dog you.”


I love Blue, and Blue loves me,
I love Blue and Blue loves me.
I love Blue and Blue loves me,
Blue’s the best dog you ever did see.
Singin’, “Here Blue, you good dog you.”
Singin’, “Here Blue, you good dog you.”



IF YOU’RE HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT(1:30)

timetosleep

If you’re happy and you know it clap your hands. (clap, clap)
2, STOMP YOUR FEET (STOMP, STOMP)
3. SHOUT ‘HURRAH’ (HURR- RAH)
4. DO ALL THREE: CLAP, CLAP, STOMP, STOMP, ‘HUR-RAH’

I’VE BEEN WORKING ON THE RAILROAD (1:15)

timetosleep


OH, SUSANNA (2:15)

timetosleep

I had a dream the other day, when everything was still
Dreamed I saw Susanna a comin’ down the hill
A buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye
She said I’m comin’ from the South, Susanna don’t you cry.


I’m goin’ down to New Orleans; there I’ll look around
When I find Susanna I’ll fall upon the ground
If I do not find her, this man will surely die
When I’m dead and buried, Susanna don’t you cry.



MAKE NEW FRIENDS (1:02)

timetosleep


FIVE LITTLE CHICKADEES (2:37)

timetosleep

Four little chickadees sitting in a tree
One flew away and then there were three

Three little chickadees don’t know what to do
One flew away and then there were two

Two little chickadees having lots of fun
One flew away and then there was one

One little chickadee sitting in the sun
It flew away and then there were none.


I RIDE AN OLD PAINT (2:25)

timetosleep

I’ve worked in your town, I’ve worked on your farm,
And all I got to show is the muscle in my arm,
Blisters on my feet, and the callous on my hand,
I’m goin’ to Montana to throw the houlihan.

When I die, don’t bury me at all.
Put me on my pony and lead him from his stall,
Tie my bones to his back, turn our faces to the West,
And we’ll ride the prairie that we love the best.



MOCKINGBIRD SONG (1:29)

timetosleep

And if that mockingbird don’t sing,
Poppa’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns 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.
And if that cart and bull turn over,
Poppa’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover.
And if that dog named Rover won’t bark,
Poppa’s gonna buy you a horse and cart,
And if that horse and cart fall down,
You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.



RED RIVER VALLEY (3:18)

timetosleep

Come and sit by my side if you love me.
Do not hasten to bid me adieu.
But remember the Red River Valley,
And the girl who has loved you so true.

As you go to your home by the ocean,
May you never forget those sweet hours
That we spent in the Red River Valley
The friendship we made mid the flowers.



TEDDY BEAR (1:23)

timetosleep

Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, go upstairs,
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say your prayers.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the light,
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, say goodnight!
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, I love you,
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, your hearts so true.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, what a delight.
Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, turn out the light…


(let’s read a book, I like your looks.
Brush your teeth, you’re so sweet!)



HOME ON THE RANGE (3:14)

timetosleep

How often at night, when the heavens are bright,
With the light from the glittering stars.
Have I stood there amazed, as I silently gazed,
Does their glory exceeds that of ours?
