Subject: Lyr Add: EDDY KOOTCHIE KATCHIE KANA
This is from the three-binder song book I typed for myself more than twenty years ago ... if only there had been word processors then! I still marvel at the Internet, where somebody from who-knows-where can benefit from my personal bookshelf.

Learned this at camp, no idea of the original sources.

CHORUS:
Eddy Kootchie katchie kana
Tosa nary tosa noka
Sama kama waky Brown
Fell into the well, fell into the well,
fell into the deep dark well.

Suzy Jones was milking in the barn
Saw him fall and ran inside to tell her ma that...

Suzy's ma was baking crackling bread
Ran outside to tell old Joe that Suzy said that...

Well, old Joe, he put his plow aside
Grabbed his cane and hobbled into town and cried that...

To the well, everybody came,
What a shame, it took so long to say his name that ...

Eddy Kootchie katchie kana
Tosa nary tosa noka
Sama kama waky Brown
WHO?
Eddy Kootchie katchie kana
Tosa nary tosa noka
Sama kama waky Brown
DROWNED!
