Well, now that I have a little person to care for, and to mold her mind in fun and glorious ways, I also have a great responsibility to pass down all the songs I grew up with and love (?).
Here's a running list, I'll update it as I get suggestions.
Gypsy Rover
Jump Down Turn Around, pick a bale of cotton
Ride a little horsey go to town
Oh, they built the ship Titanic
I love you, a bushel and a peck
My Bonny lies over the ocean
Hava Nagila
Jesus Loves Me
I know a girl whose name is _______ (mom written)
Go to sleep, go to sleep, my precious creep (to Braham's lullaby, mom written)
Shortnin' Bread
Do your ears hang low do they wobble to and fro?
Who's that knocking at my door, who's that knocking at my door?
Late last night when we were all in bed...
Down by the old mill stream
Tom Dooley
