This is ostensibly a children's play song, but I love the way that the lyrics delve into deep emotional subjects. It becomes a children's song that challenges the imagination of all ages in this way.

Lead Belly endeared himself to audiences of all ages. His children's songs are of the same high quality his blues or folk songs exhibit. Other children's songs on this web: Christmas Is Coming . Little Children's Blues .

A new Lead Belly CD "Lead Belly Sings for Children" has been issued by Smithsonian/Folkways.  Click here for the review.
