Wow where did you here the Dog Spot part ? I thought that was exclusive to a YHA group in Essex.

One man went to mow
Went to mow a meadow,
one man and his dog
Went to mow a meadow.

That's the English "School" version, not the Cecil Sharpe collected one. And as Willa says it accumulates to
ten men, nine men, eight men, seven men.....one man and his dog went to mow a meadow.

I never heard the "woof" though, sounds great.

We used to sing it...

One man went to mow
Went to mow a meadow,
one man and his dog
Spot, a bottle of pop,
a sausage roll,
an old tin can, a frying pan,
Old Mother Riley and her cow,
Went to mow a meadow.

Bert.
