GUEST,Janna star33@merr.com Help: Springfield Mountain (25) Origins: HELP if you can.....PLEASE 19 Sep 04


Ok... I heard the song 30 years ago or so. In Northern Minnesota at my uncles farm. He piped music into the barn all the time and this song played A LOT. So much so that I still remember all the words & the tune. But I have NO CLUE as to What the title is or the Artist. It's similar to 'Rattlesnake Mountain' & 'Springfield Mountain' because of the 'intent' of the song. But it's not the same words or tune. Here are the words:

Well Tommy went wah-boo-boo,wah-boo-boo-walkin'
down to the field-boo-boo-eild, boo-boo-eild.
To mow his wheat-boo-boo-eat,
When a snake bit his heel-boo-boo-eel.
Too-ma-ray, too-ma-ray Tom-a-ray.

Well Tommy said Dad-boo-boo-ad boo-boo-ad,
Please get my gal Sal-boo-boo-al boo-boo-al,
I'm gonna die-boo-boo-aye, and I know I shall-boo-boo-al.
Too-ma-ray, too-ma-ray Tom-a-ray.

Well Sally said Tom-boo-boo-om boo-boo-om,
why did you go-boo-boo-oh boo-boo-oh,
down to the field-boo-boo-eild,just to watch your wheat grow-boo-boo-oh.
Too-ma-ray, too-ma-ray Tom-a-ray

Well Tommy did die-boo-boo-aye boo-boo-aye,
And to heaven did go-boo-boo-oh boo-boo-oh.
Didn't mow his wheat-boo-boo-eat,
'cause they layed him low-boo-oh,
Too-ma-ray, too-ma-ray Tom-a-ray.


If any one has any idea what the title is or the artist....Please...oh please email me! star33@merr.com
