Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
In China, once, there lived a man
Whose name was Higo Chigery Chan
Lorna Macoggie Duskio
Willaby Wollaby Chinio.

One day the Chinaman did die
and in his coffin he did lie
They carried him back to old Japan
And that was the end of the China man.

Higo Chigo Chigery Chan
Higo Chigo China man,
Lorna Macoggie Duskio
Willaby Wollaby Chinio!

My mother learned this at a church camp in the 1930's. We have been singing it all of my life, and have passed it, and others down to children and grandchildren. Very fun!!
