The more drinks you have the funnier it gets.......and each year you remember a little more of it! I was also recently asked to find 'Big Rock Candy Mountain' for a school assembly; you should SEE the original hobo lyrics! Not at all the innocent words I remembered singing as a child (good thing I found the right ones for our kids!)

I think it was on more than one album as I used to have one, it also had <br /> ‘Whistling rabbit’ and ‘Angus Mcfergus Mc <br /> tavish Dundee’ oh and ‘Big rock candy mountain’ and others. My mum seems to have lost it though. real shame as I want it for my daughters. I don’t even remember the name of the album but it had a yellow cover. there were others too with some of these songs and others, you probably had a different one to me, and I cannot find them on CD. if I have any luck I shall pop back and let you know.  Hope this helps <br /> I really loved that album as a child and even rememer all the words to Horace the horse....:) </p> Hi the song is by Burl Ives.

Now, the fact that the celtic band played the song might be interesting enough to warrant comment here, but the fact that half the people at this bar remembered the accompanying <i>gestures</i> necessitates that I ask: did you ever know the gestures, and if so, do you still know them? </p> Having perused this thread with nothing to add save “I remember singing this song in summer camp,” I found myself at an Irish pub over the weekend.
