This song was a favorite in our house when I was a child, my older sisters would sing it. Something reminded me of it, and I went on line to see if I could find the lyrics, since I could only recall the chorus and some bits and pieces. I was so delighted to find this site! Thank you all who contributed. It was wonderful to have some happy memories brought back while reading this. (At some point in time, I think I heard all the verses mentioned here!)
