Curious to find out whether anyone can identify an old butter churning song passed down through the women in our family. Many of the words seem nonsensical, but I've probably forgotten some, since I learned this song as a young girl. My grandmother was of English-Irish-Scottish descent, but her family also lived in the American South - mostly Texas.
(I've spelled the unfamiliar words phonetically.)
Shoo-go, go sugar and a roo-go
Shapperappa June papa June...
A bask and a bottle and a fall doll dingle
Jinka-linka bottle-linka brandy-oh...
And for her dasher she uses her foot
Nickety nackety day and dappety
Willity wallity rustico polity
Nickety nackety now, now, now!
