I just read GUEST,Gagi's Israeli version of Stella Ella Ola. She or he may be long gone from reading this site. But I want to say "Thanks!" anyway.

Thanks also to GUEST, samantha for sharing her version of "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky". There's a hyperlink leading to a discussion {thread} about that rhyme in the list of related rhymes found above. That thread contains a lot of versions of "Down By The Bank Of The Hanky Panky". But I don't think that any of those versions contain the line "Jesus loves you and I do too". I'm glad to see this version, which is one of the few examples of children's rhymes that I've collected that include a reference to religion.

As a matter of fact, samantha, I'm going to take the liberty of reposting a copy of your version on that thread.

Thanks again!
