Ann Paulsen Lyr Req: 'I dreamed that I was grandpapa, and...' (19) I had a dream the other night 29 Nov 97


Our family has passed down a folk song for at least four generations. The first verse:
    I had a dream the other night,
    What fun it was for me.
    I dreamed that I was Grandpapa,
    And Grandpapa was me.

Subsequent verses mention gators, snuff, blowing the candle out at night . . .we've never seen or heard it outside the family.

Does anyone know about this?

Thanks.
