More of a chant than a song. A playground taunt from my childhood. If someone said "So?" as many others as wanted to recite this would (and there's a tone and rhythm to it so it's as much song as plainchant, I guess):
So, so suck your toe All the way to Mexico Riding on a buffalo
First the farmer sows his seed Then he stands and takes his ease Stamps his foot and claps his hand And turns around to view the land Oats, peas, beans, and barley grow...
Doe, a deer, a female deer. Ray, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name I call myself. Far, a long, long way to run. Sew, a needle pulling thread. La, a note to follow sew. Tea, a drink with jam and bread. That will bring us back to doe, oh, oh, oh.
I hadn't thought of that Woody Guthrie song for YEARS, and what a sweet tune it has. I need to sing it for Holly. She's fascinated by the 30's and migrant workers and hobos. Perfect.
From Sunday School and such:
SO high you can't get over it SO low you can't get under it SO wide you can't get around it You must go through that door.

Doe, a deer, a female deer.
Ray, a drop of golden sun.
Me, a name I call myself.
Far, a long, long way to run.
Sew, a needle pulling thread.

Tea, a drink with jam and bread.
That will bring us back to doe, oh, oh, oh.
