DADDY'S SONGS

Daddy's Little Girl

You're the end of the rainbow, my pot of gold,
You're daddy's little girl to have and to hold.
A precious gem is what you are,
You're mom-my's bright and shi-ning star.
You're the spirit of Christmas, the star on my tree,
You're the Easter Bunny to mommy and me;
You're sugar, you're spice, you're ev'-ry-thing nice,
And you're daddy's little girl.


I've Been Working On The Railroad

I've been working on the railroad
All the livelong day
I've been working on the railroad
Just to pass the time away

Can't you hear the whistle blowing
Rise up so early in the morn
Can't you hear the captain shouting
Dinah, blow your horn

Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow
Dinah, won't you blow your horn

Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Someone's in the kitchen I know
Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah
Strumming on the old banjo, and singing

Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Fie, fi, fiddly i o
Strumming on the old banjo


My Darlin’ Clementine

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine,
Dwelt a miner, forty-niner,
And his daughter, Clementine.

Chorus:
Oh, my darlin', oh my darlin',
Oh, my darlin' Clementine.
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.

Light she was and like a feather,
And her shoes were number nine.
Herring boxes without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

Chorus

Drove she ducklings to the water,
Ev'ry morning just at nine.
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Chorus

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles soft and fine.
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.


The Erie Canal

I've got a mule, and her name is Sal.
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
She's a good old worker and a good old pal,
Fifteen miles on the Erie Canal.
We've hauled some barges in our day,
Filled with lumber, coal and hay,
And we know ev'ry inch of the way
From Albany to Buffalo.

Refrain:
Low bridge! Ev'rybody down!
Low bridge, 'cause we're coming to a town;
And you'll always know your neighbor,
You'll always know your pal,
If you've ever navigated on the

You are my Sunshine

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skys are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

The Bear Went Over the Mountain

The bear went over the mountain,
the bear went over the mountain
the bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain, to see what he could see.
And all that he could see, and all that he could see
Was the other side of the mountain, the other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain, was all that he could see.
Put your own verses in here like we always used to do….
And what do you think he did?....
He climbed the other mountain, he climbed the other mountain, etc.
And what do you think he saw?
He saw another mountain….etc.

Old Zip Coon

There once was a man with a double chin
who performed with skill on a violin.
And he played in time and he played in tune
but he wouldn't play anything but Old Zip Coon.
Old Zip Coon he played all day,
Till he drove his friends away
He played all night by the light of the moon
but he wouldn't play anything but Old Zip Coon.

Always

I'll be lovin' you, always
With a love that's
true, always
When the things you've planned need a
helpin' hand
I will understand always, always

Days may not be fair, always
That's when I'll
be there, always
Not for just an hour, not for just a
day
Not for just a year but always

Days may not
be fair, always
That's when I'll be there,
always
Not for just an hour, not just a day
Not for
just one year but always
