Subject: RE: Origins/ADD: Stodola Pumpa / Stodole Pumpa (Czech)
We elementary school children in Augusta, Michigan, sang Stodole Pumpa during the music ed part of the day. That was during WWII, but I still remember the melody and some of the words at age 80. Later, one of my kids would ask me to sing it because he liked the Hey! and change to the fast tempo and louder delivery. I only knew the "Far in the hills" form but even now I like it best. I am thankful to the people on this web site who helped restore my memory of this song!
