This song was on a record we had in the early 50s. It was a 45 I'm sure. The record, if I remember correctly, was "Songs of the United Nations". On the front cover was a smiling group of men of various nations in military uniforms. Other songs on the record that I recall, were "An Acre of Land", "Waltzing Matilda", "Now is the Hour," something with the words, "Jane, Jane, come to the glen; take good care of Johnny John boy", and others I don't now recall. How I would like to find that record. It must have been published during or just after WWII.

The version of Tecolote de Guandana had different lyrics from any mentioned here, and there was an English translation on the jacket. Just a snatch I recall: Le respondo el armadillo (3x), en el concha me estas dando (The armadillo replied to him, you are knocking too hard on my shell). Loved the song, almost had it memorized in Spanish even though I knew not a word of Spanish at that age. Burl Ives and Joseph and Miranda were part of our meager record collection as well.

I'm a member but don't have time to look up my ID right now. Haven't been on here for years. Just decided to try to find this song.
