Kent Davis	Songs to the John Brown/Battle Hymn tune (71* d)	ADD: John Brown's Ford	14 Sep 10
My Fourth Grade teacher taught us this during the '69-'70 school year at Edisto School, in Cordova, Orangeburg County, South Carolina. There were hand motions, but I no longer remember them. JOHN BROWN'S FORD John Brown's Ford had a puncture in its tire. John Brown's Ford had a puncture in its tire. John Brown's Ford had a puncture in its tire. And he patched it up with chewing gum. For a long time, I was puzzled as to how John Brown's Ford could have a puncture in his TIE. Eventually, I realized that the teacher was using the non-rhotic Low Country pronunciation for tire. Anybody else know this? If so, do you remember the hand motions? Kent
