My mum would sing, but not very often. It's my dad I remember singing to us and always the strangest of songs. Does any one recognise this ( I apologise if some words are wrong I'm remembering this from when I was five-ish)

Down by the river kipowea Empties its water to the seas Down where the bear in his lair Doesn't care if it rains or shines or snows An indian squaw sang to a baby on a straw mat And she hummed as she crooned as she sang him this lullaby "oh please don't cry................... (memory now fails me)

Some people I know will recognise this one and possilbly curse, but I assure you it's my dad's fault.

Bluebells are bluebells Bluebells are blue Bluebells are bluebells 'cos Bluebells are blue

2nd verse

Bluebells are bluebells......ad nauseum.........

And there was one he would only sing whilst working (he's a chippie)

If I had a nail and a hammer And a picture to hang on the wall......

But he says he can't remeber it now, does anyone else?
