Morey Amsterdam recorded this in the 1940's. As I remember it went : A mother was washing her baby one day Dear little mite, so slim and so slight. The mother turned round for the soap on the rack. She was only a moment, but when she turned back: Oh where Oh where is me baby, she cried. Oh where is me baby, and the angels replied: Your baby has gone down the drainpipe. Your baby has gone down the flood. Dear little mite, so slim and so slight. He should have been washed in a jug. Don't worry your head, just be happy, and remember he suffered no pain. He drifted away down the plug hole. Let's hope he don't stop up the drain!
