JenBurdoo Children's songs for St. Patrick's Day? (17) Children's songs for St. Patrick's Day? 08 Mar 16


I've been learning guitar for a year or so and am much more confident. Playing a lot of folk music now in my storytimes as a children's librarian. I'm planning one for next Thursday -- the catch is I know very few songs that are appropriate for kids. They're all either about rebellion, death, love or all three. Suggestions?

I'm planning on "The Rattling Bog" and "Irish Rover", but I'm having trouble thinking of others. Even most of the Irish children's rhymes I've heard are blatantly anti-British or anti-other-Irish. (Learned from the Clancy Brothers, natch.) I'd like at least one or two more.
