Thread Name: Origins: Roll Over (aka Ten on/in the Bed)
Subject: RE: Origins: Roll Over (aka Ten in the Bed)
This one is well and truly in the Public Domain category. A nursery counting song, sung many generations in numerous territories with no known originator. It is reproduced on many sites in Public Domain status, and official teaching packages, and has no copyright, (though people can claim on their own musical arrangements). Ten in the Bed/Roll over, absolutely fits this site as a folk/counting song.
Wish I could agree. But unless I can find a printed version of the song before 1930 or so, I can't verify that this song is in the Public Domain.
