There's also "I bought me a cat" and "Grandfather's Clock," both of which were taught to me at a fairly age, and which I liked very much. |

It even starts out "Listen Children to a story that was written long ago..." I found it on a couple of lyric sites, but can't remember which ones. |

25 Nov 98 - 11:56 PM (#46834) Subject: RE: LYRIC REQ:Songs that tell a Story From: DonMeixner Songs that tell stories? Depends on the age of the child and where you live to some extent. A very young child might prefer songs close to home. Real little: The Fox Went To Town, Froggy Went A Courtin', There's A Big Ship Sailing(When my Rebekkah was 4 yrs. this was a favorite.) Little Bigger: Alabama Jubilee, The Cherry Tree Carol, Bread and Fishes, Blue Tail Fly, The Cumberland Mountain Bear Chase. 10 and Older: Gordon Bok's Peter Kagan and the Wind or Saben The Woodfitter, Match Top Men( Favorite of my twin boys) Lock The Door Lariston, The Haughs O' Cromdale. I could go on but this is the stuff my kids grew up onand they ain't too awfully bent. Don Meixner
