Thread Name: Songs Your Mother Sang to You
Subject: Songs Your Mother Sang to You
What songs did your mother sing to you when you were little? Or your father, or uncle, or grandmother, or whoever it was that first sang those songs to you?

I remember "All the pretty little ponies" and "Go get an axe there's a flea in Lilly's ear" and a real hound that went

The horse walked around with its foot on the ground
The horse walked around with its foot on the ground
The horse walked around with its foot on the ground
The horse walked around with its foot on the ground
spoken: Second verse, same as the first,
Ohhhhhh...
(repeat)

Also "Ooka tooka my soda cracker, does your mama chaw tobaccer?"

And something that went:
My momma done told me
When I was in pigtails
A man is a two-face...

And a real silly one that went:
Go for a ride in the car, car
Go for a ride in the car, car
Go for a ride in the car, car
Vroom, vroom, vroom.

What did you get sung to you at your earliest remembery of music?
