When I was a little girl, my
grandfather used to sing
songs to me from his
childhood. One of the songs I remember most was called Pawpaw Patch. Unfortunately he died before I could memorize all the
lyrics, but I have found them and wanted to share them with all of you. It meant a lot to me, and maybe you can share it with your
kids and they can carry on the
tradition.
Pawpaw Patch
Traditional
Where, oh where, is dear little Susie?
Where, oh where, is dear little Susie?
Where, oh where, is dear little Susie?
Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch.
Chorus:
Picking up pawpaws; put 'em in your pocket.
Picking up pawpaws; put 'em in your pocket.
Picking up pawpaws; put 'em in your pocket.
Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch.
Come on, boys, let's go find her.
Come on, boys, let's go find her.
Come on, boys, let's go find her.
Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch.
