Lyrics
(Melody by Charles Leslie Johnson, 1904, Traditional Lyrics, Melody & Lyrics combined by Saxie Dowell)
Say say oh playmate,
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies three,
Climb up my apple tree.
Slide down my rain barrel
Into my cellar door
And we’ll be jolly friends
Forever more, more, more.
Say say oh playmate,
I cannot play with you.
My dolly’s got the flu,
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo.
Ain’t got no rain barrel,
Ain’t got no cellar door,
But we’ll be jolly friends
Forever more, more, more.
