Subject: RE: Song Req: 'There was China Man...'
This is the version my Grandfather told us:

Hiker Chiker Chiggery Chan
Hiker Chiker Chinaman
Lorda be Gotta be Dusky Oh
Willapy Wallopy Chiny Oh

One day the people of the town
Went up the hill to roll him down
From top to bottom they began
to tickle and play with the Chinaman

(Chorus)

The Chinaman he did die
In his coffin he did lie
They carried him off to Japan
and that was the end of the Chinaman

(Chorus)
