It looks as though he has, MMario. I've just put a reference to this thread on the "Hunting the Hare" one.

I went to a very old-fashioned private "dame school", run by Misses Norman and Pluck, who had a maidservant called Grace who wore Victorian-style maid's clothes. I am not *that* old - this was in the 1960's - but the place was in a lovely time warp ! As well as "The Keeper" and "Three times round went our gallant ship" and so on, we also sang (and acted out) a song which I have never since been able to find:

Old Roger is dead and laid in his grave
Hey, ho, hobbledy ho
We buried him under the apple tree shade
Hey, ho, hobbledy ho

Then there was a bit about an old woman coming and picking apples from the tree and Old Roger getting up from the grave and scaring the old lady.   Does anyone else know this one ?

Another one we used to do was "We've come to see Jenny Jo" - the gist of it was that you had to wear clothes of different colours depending on the state Jenny Jo was in, and it ended with her dying and everyone wearing black. Wonderful Victorian sentimentality. Anyone know that one ?
