GUEST,Geff Crawford Lyr Req: Old Mother Logo (14) RE: Lyr Req: Old Mother Logo 25 Dec 08


Here's the version I heard Mike Seeger sing in 1978 at a festival:

Old Mother Logo, she got drunk
Fell in the fire and she kicked up a chunk
A red hot coal got in her shoe
And it's good god almighty how the ashes flew

Doodle adle oo da do da do da
Doodle adle oo da do die ay
Doodle adle oo da do da do da
Doodle adle oo da do die ay

Old Mother Logo, fare thee well
She tried to cross a river in a pumpkin shell
The river was deep and the river was wide
And she never did make it to the other side

Doodle adle oo da do da do da
Doodle adle oo da do die ay
Doodle adle oo da do da do da
Doodle adle oo da do die ay

Oh, my poor children
Oh, how they did cry
Some got sick and some got drownded
Some got choked on chicken pit

Doodle adle oo da do da do da
Doodle adle oo da do die ay
Doodle adle oo da do da do da
Doodle adle oo da do die ay
