Woody Guthrie's recording appears on "Songs to Grow on for Mother and Child," Smithsonian Folkways CD 45035, 1991. I have listened to a couple of sound samples, and this is what I think I hear. (Unfortunately, this is incomplete):


1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Woody Guthrie

Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo-choo,
Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo-choo,
Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo-choo,
Chooka-choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Hoodoo, voodoo, seven, twenty-one, two,
Haystack, hoe-stack, hey do the hoe-ta,
High boga, low joker, ninety-nine, a zero,
Sidewalk, streetcar, dance a goofy dance.

Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo-choo,
Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo-choo,
Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo-choo,
Choo-choo, choo-choo, chooka-chooka, choo.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
Blackbird, blue jay, one, two, three, four,
Trash-stack, jump back, E, F, G.

Big man, little man, fat man, skinny man,
Grasshopper, green snake, hold my hand.
Choo, chooka-choo....
