GUEST,tmpp@hotmail.com Lyr Req: 'Have you seen the old man walking?' (4) 15 Jun 01


Hello, everyone --

This lullaby that my Mother and Grandmother used to sing me has been running through my rapidly aging (!) brain. I can remember almost all of the melody, but the lyrics are fading and getting confused. Can anyone help out on this one? As I remember them, it went:

"Have you seen the old man walking
With a pack upon his back
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah-dah, (lost lyrics)
Dah-dah-dah-dah, dah-dah-dah (lost lyrics)

Sand man, Sand man,
Grown-ups never hear him
Sand man, Sand man,
Children never fear him.”

There's a second and perhaps third verse. Any help would be warmly appreciated!
