Well said, Leej, I agree with you. Hey! Rick, it's nice to see some litter throwing around here; it's been way too tame with 'Spaw away!Alice, that was what I was attepting to do with my original two line posting.
Here are some other songs I might suggest. They are straight from my old grade school song book and a little book put out by the Wyoming Ag Council in 1963. While they may seem a little ordinary, they are mostly well-known so general audiences might feel okay about tryng to join in and, as far as I know, they are American:
Froggie Went A-Courtin'
My Home's in Montana
Shoo fly
Put your little foot
Drill, Ye Tarriers
Sweet Betsy from Pike
Skip to my Lou
Down in the valley
Roundup Lullaby
Old Chisolm Trail
I might also point out that while both books have some Foster favourites, even then in the early 60's, the words had been changed; there are no what I would consider racial slurs.
