10 Dec 06 - 03:24 AM (#1905130) Subject: ADD: Run Along Home and Jump Into Bed From: Joe Offer A newcomer sang this cute little song at our song circle last night, but I didn't quite catch the tune. Anybody know a songbook where I could find it, the origins of the song, or alternate versions? -Joe-
Now run along home and jump into bed, Say your prayers and cover your head. The very same thing I say unto you, You dream of me, and I'll dream of you. there's a slightly different version and lots of other camp songs at American Camp Association. The listing in The Freedman Catalogue made me wonder if the song might have Jewish roots. -Joe- Click to play(MIDI from Blessings Barbara) |

From another site, the stanza seems to be coupled with "I see the moon and the moon sees me". It is treated as stanza two of the song: September 06, 2004 09:21 PM: My favorite quiet time campfire song: I see the moon and the moon sees me, The moon sees somebody I'd like to see. So God bless the moon and God bless me, And God bless the somebody I'd like to see. Now run along home and jump into bed, Say your prayers and cover your head. The very same thing I say unto you, You dream of me, I'll have sweet dreams of you. |
