February 7, 1951 Reel 89, Item 2 When I Was a Little Boy When I was a little boy I lived by myself; All the bread and cheese I got, I put it on the shelf. The rats and the mice, they led me sich a life, I had to go to London to get me a wife. The roads was so wide, and the streets was so narrow, I had to bring my wife home on a wheelbarrow; The wheelbarrow broke and my wife caught a fall, Down come wheelbarrow, wife and all. Refrain: With my whee who whaddle oh, jack straw straddle oh, Little boy baddle oh and one for my broom.Funding for digitization provided by the Arkansas Humanities Council and the Happy Hollow Foundation
