Classic Kid’s Songs – Lyrics

I’ve been working on the railroad

I’ve been working on the railroadAll the live long dayI’ve been working on the railroadJust to pass the time away

Can’t you hear the whistle blowing?Rise up so early in the mornDon’t you hear the captain shouting“Dinah, blow your horn”

Dinah, won’t you blow,Dinah won’t you blowDinah, won’t you blow your horn?Dinah, won’t you blow,Dinah won’t you blowDinah, won’t you blow your horn?

Someone’s in the kitchen with DinahSomeone’s in the kitchen I knowSomeone’s in the kitchen with DinahStrumming on the old banjo, and singing

“Fee-fi, fiddle-e-i-o,Fee-fi-fiddle-e-i-oFee-fi-fiddle-e-i-o,”strumming on the old banjo

London Bridge is falling down,Falling down, falling down,London Bridge is falling down,My fair Lady.

Build it up with wood and clay,Wood and clay, wood and clay,Build it up with wood and clay,My fair Lady.

Oh give me a homewhere the buffalo roam,Where the deer and the antelope play,Where seldom is hearda discouraging word,And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Do your ears hang low,do they waggle to and fro?Can you tie them in a knot,can you tie them is a bow?Can you throw them o’re your shoulder like a continental soldier?

Do your ears hang low?Do your ears stick out,can you waggle them about?Can you flap them up and downas you fly around the town?Can you shut them up for sure when you hear an awful bore?

Do your ears stick out?Do your ears stand high,do they reach up to the sky?Do they hang down when they’re wet, do they stand up when they’re dry?Can you semaphore your neighbor with the minimum of labor?Do your ears stand high?

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! how sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am foundWas blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snaresI have already come

Tis grace hath brought me safe thus farand grace will lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand yearsbright shining as the sun

We’ve no less days to sing God’s praisethan when we’d first begun

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Twinkle twinkle little star,how I wonder what you are?

Up above the world so high ,like a diamond in the sky

When the blazing sun is gone,when he nothing shines upon,Then you show your little light,twinkle, twinkle all the night.Then the traveller in the dark,thanks you for your tiny spark,He could not see which way to go,if you did not twinkle so.In the dark blue sky you keep,and often through my curtains peep,For you never shut your eye,’till the sun is in the sky.As your bright and tiny sparklights the traveller in the dark,Though I know not what you are –twinkle, twinkle little star.

Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman camped beside a billabongUnder the shade of a coolibah treeand he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled“You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?”

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing MatildaYou’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?

And he sang as he sat and waited while his billy boiled“Who’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?”

Down came a jumpbuck to drink at the billabongUp jumped the swagman and grabbed him with gleeAnd he sang as he stowed that jumbuck in his tuckerbag“You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?”

Waltzing Matilda, waltzing MatildaYou’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?And he sang as he stowed that jumpbuck in his tuckerbag“You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?”

Down came a squatter, mounted on his thoroughbredDown came the troopers – one, two, three“Where’s that jolly jumpbuck you’ve got in our tuckerbag?You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?”

Up jumped the swagman and sprang into the billabong“You’ll never take me alive!”, said heAnd his ghost may be heard as you pass beside that billabong“You’ll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?”
