oh you mean that kind. My grampa sang these.
once I went in swimmin
where there were no wimmin
down by the ol’ mill pond
seeing no one there I hung my underwear upon a willow fond
dove into the water just like pharoh’s daughter dove into the Nile
someone saw me there and stole my underwear and left me with a smile
—
show me the way to go home [1]
I’m tired and I want to got to bed
I had a little drink about an hour ago and it went right to my head
where ever I may roam
by land or sea or foam
you’ll always hear me singing this song
show me the way to go home.
—
there was an ol’ soldier and he had a wooden leg [2]
and he never had tobacky so tobacky he would beg
there’s another ol’d soldier just as sly as a fox
an he always had tobacky in his ol tobacky box
said the first ol’ soldier would you give me a chew
said the second ol’ soldier I’ll be damned if I do
save up your pennies and put away you socks
and you’ll always have tobacky in your ol’ tobacky box
there was an little chicky and she would wouldn’t leg an egg
So i poured hot water all up and down her legs
the little chicky cried and little chicky begged
and the little chicky layed a hardboiled egg
—
and the worms crawl in an the worms crawls out [3]
and they crawl all over your dirty mouth
and they call they friends an their friends’ friends too
and you look like the devil when they get through*
*I don’t remember how he started this one. It was something about hearing the hack go by so it’s probably in one of the versions on the link, even though my grampa’s ending was different.
