Toomeray, toomeray Tom O Ray
by Billy Chernoff


Tommy went a-walk-whip-a-walk, whip-a-walk
down to the field whip-a-weel
to mow his wheat, whip-a-wheat
when a snake bit his heel whip-a heel
toomeray, toomeray tomaray

Tommy said Dad whip-a-whad, whip-a whad
please get my gal Sal, whip-awhal
I'm a gonna die, whip-a why
and I know I shall live a while
toomeray, toomeray tomeray

Sally said Tom whip-a wham, whip-a-wham

to watch your wheat grow, whip-a -whoh
toomeray, toomeray tomeray

Tommy did die, whip-a-why, whip-a-why
