IN 1947 I attended a one room rural school in Gordonville, Mo (near Cape Girardeau, in the southeast part of the state. We sang Kimo Kimo much like the Doc Watson version posted by Richie. 'Way down yonder on Beaver Creek Sing a Song Kitty, won't you ki-me-O! The darkies grow to be 6 feet Sing a song Kitty, won't you ki-me-O! Ch: Kimo, Kimo, Keero ark! Mehe, mehi, me humdrum penny winkle Tip tap, pitty pat, brown eyed pussy cat Sing a song Kitty, won't you ki-me-O! They go to sleep, but it aint no use Sing a song Kitty, won't you ki-me-O! Their feet stick out for the chickens to roost Sing a song Kitty, won't you ki-me-O!
