GUEST,Delmar Lemming (David Shea)	Origins: George Washington Was a Nice Young Man (5)	George Washington was a Nice Young Man	24 Nov 15
Does anyone know where this song comes from? George Washington was a nice young man George Washington was a nice young man, a lie he'd never tell But when he chopped the cherry tree his father gave him Chorus: Hallelujah (3x) Got glory in my soul My mother takes in washing, she does it very well But when they fail to pay her, you bet she gives them I took my girl a walking, down by the ferny dell When her parents found out, they really gave me The engineer blows the whistles, the fireman rings the bell The conductor's shouting "All aboard!" and away we go to ... (-- very old traditional US folk song) You can find my recording of the song on Youtube with my guitar& Ian Tothill on fiddle. Recorded at Hen Shea Studios, La Atalaya de SB, Spain. But I cannot recall where I got it! Sorry for being so vague! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsQ1x-f5IZ0
