Subject: RE: Origins: Down on the farm, half past four....
A friend of my father (His name was Mr. Sperry) used to stop by our house quite regularly in the 1930's (I was born in 1933) and sing the version Joe Offer provided. I can remember begging him to sing it every time he stopped by. We lived in Connecticut at the time. So, the song has to be much older than 1940's.
