Flop, flop, flop. Flop, flop, flop. And that’s the end of the poor old cow! Taddle-Diddle-Dink-Dink Folk songs are most often based on life experiences. This one tells the story of a poor fellow who, even though he was extremely resourceful, just couldn’t quite beat the odds. The chorus is easy to learn, and it’s fun to sing it between the verses as you listen to the tale. Oncet I had an old gray mare, Oncet I had an old gray mare, Oncet I had an old gray mare, Her back was raw and her belly bare. Chorus: Taddle-diddle-dink-dink, Taddle-diddle-day, Taddle-diddle-dink-dink, Taddle-diddle-day. One day I took her down the creek, One day I took her down the creek, One day I took her down the creek, Purpose of a little green grass to eat. (chorus) Then she slipped and in she fell, Then she slipped and in she fell, Then she slipped and in she fell, I thought my fortune gone to, well— (chorus) Then I feelin’ very stout, Then I feelin’ very stout, Then I feelin’ very stout, I reached right in and I pulled her out. (chorus) 40 Old Music for New Ears Teacher’s Guide
Then I thought it was no sin, Then I thought it was no sin, Then I thought it was no sin, So I took out my knife and I skinned her skin. (chorus) Then I tied it in a noose, Then I tied it in a noose, Then I tied it in a noose, Purpose of to make my winter shoes. (chorus) Then I hung it in a loft, Then I hung it in a loft, Then I hung it in a loft, Along came a rogue and stoled it off. (chorus) Durn the rogue that stoled it off, Durn the rogue that stoled it off, Durn the rogue that stoled it off, He left my toes to go to frost! (chorus) The Old Woman and the Little Pig (Jean Ritchie) Although this is one of the Ritchie family songs as preserved by Jean Ritchie, we learned it in a more roundabout way than usual. One night we had a group of friends over to share some dulcimer music and one of them sang this song. It tickled us so much that we had to learn it ourselves. There was an old woman and she had a little pig—Ooh, ooh, ooh There was an old woman and she had a little pig—Ooh, ooh, ooh There was an old woman and she had a little pig, He wasn’t much trouble ’cause he wasn’t very big—Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh This old woman put piggie in the barn—Ooh, ooh, ooh (3 times) Prettiest little thing she had on the farm—Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh This old woman fed piggie on the clover—Ooh, ooh, ooh (3 times) When he died, he died all over—Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh There’s a little piece o’ cornbread sittin’ on the shelf—Ooh, ooh, ooh (3 times) If you want to hear more, you can sing it yourself—Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh KET, The Kentucky Network 41
