judy	Songs to celebrate a new baby (24)	Lyr Add: SWEET POTATOES^^	07 Nov 97
A long time ago I found a record in the library called "You can sing it yourself Vol.2" with Robin Christenson (Folkways FC 7625) that had a terrific song called "Sweet Potatoes". I then found it again in a book called "Twice 55 Community Songs" listed as a Creole lullaby. The chorus can be sung separately or as a round with the verse: Chorus: Roo, roo roo roo, roo roo, sing hoaky dinkum Roo, roo roo roo, roo roo, roo roo Verse I Soon as mammy's cooked sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes Soon as mammy's cooked sweet potatoes, we eat 'em right straight up. Sorry I can't put the tune in here. Roo, roo doesn't do it without the music. You can see how this is an add-your-own-lyrics-until-the-baby-or-you-are-asleep song. congradulations judy
