Just one of those SILLY songs that gets into my head and WON'T leave until I get it right!! Didn't find anything in the Forum or DT search. I learned it at a Folk Festival in Tennessee a loooooong time ago.
It's a FUN "long-ride-in-the-car-take-turns-adding-your-own-verses" children's song.....wondering if anyone else is familiar with it??
So far I remember........
"Momma buy me a china doll x3
Do, momma, do.
With what will I buy you a china doll?
You can sell Daddy's feather bed.
Where will your Daddy sleep?
He can sleep out in the barn.
But where will the horses sleep?"
My daughter and I would add verses...switching different animal's beds....(chickens took pigs' bed, pigs took goat's beds, goats took horses' beds, etc.)
Hope SOMEONE can fill in the blanks.....a verse about a garden gate????...and somehow the last verse brings it back to the first verse, similar to "Hole In The Bucket".
