Hope I'm not repeating what someone has said - (I have flicked through the whole thread . . .)  I was told Rock-a-bye-baby was about King Charles I sleeping in an oak tree - -  and his eventual fall from grace.

Fascinating reading in this thread.   ;)

Found Tom Connors singing it on YOU TUBE.  ( have a listen, it's cool!) Below are the words on You Tube

Now Sing along with me for Carol!   - altogether now.....

Chase me Charlie,
Through the barley
In the afternoon
Chase me Charlie
Through the barley
By the light of the moon
Chase me Charlie
Through the barley
If you catch me soon
You'll be married to me
By the 1st of June

Anyone remember the rhymes for choosing who would be picked to be " It " in a game:


Ip dip dip
My blue ship
Sailing on the water
Like a cup and saucer
Ip dip dip.


Just re watched some Monty Python the other night - Graham Chapman doing "dip dip dip" in the Ypres sketch. Classic!  ;D ;D

Isn't it interesting how these rhymes morphed as they travelled around the country........

At my school they used to chant:

Iggle oggle, black bobble, iggle oggle out.   ::)
BORCHARDT in Poland/Germany, BOSKOWITZ in Czechoslovakia, Hungary + Austria, BUSS in Baden, Germany + Switzerland, FEKETE in Hungary + Austria, GOTTHILF in Hammerstein + Berlin, GUBLER, GYSI, LABHARDT & RYCHNER in Switzerland, KONIG & KRONER in Germany, PLACZEK, WUNSCH & SILBERBERG in Poland.

Carole remember dad singing "Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers .... i don't know anymore words. I thought it terribly risque when I was small. I wondered if it could be a music hall song.
