More childrens songs

There are two songs I have heard two different versions - of course they are very common children's songs so you may recognize one or the other of the versions as the one you grew up with.

Patty Cake (yes!) - Esme really likes this now so here are the two versions I've heard.
'Patty Cake - Patty Cake, Baker's Man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can,
Roll it up Roll it up, put it in the pan,
Patty Cake - Patty Cake, Baker's Man'

Patty Cake - Patty Cake, Baker's Man
Bake me a cake as fast as you can,
Roll it, and pat it, and mark it with a 'B',
and put it in the oven for Baby and me (squeal and hug baby)

My mom told me the second version and Mark's mom told him the first one. Esme likes both of them.

One, Two, Buckle my shoe
Three, Four Out the Door
Five, Six, Pick up Sticks
Seven, Eight, Lay them Straight
Nine, Ten, Do it Again (do it a-gain...)

And the other version
One, Two, Buckle my shoe
Three, Four, Out the Door,
Five, Six, Pick Up Sticks,
Seven, Eight, Shut the Gate,
Nine, Ten, A Big Fat Hen!

Childrens Songs

The singing at the library got me to trying to remember the songs I sang as a kid and also the ones Esme has heard often from me during her life. I found the versions of at least one song I remember was very shortened from the original!

Froggy went a courtin
Froggy went a courtin and he did ride uh-huh uh-huh

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride uh-huh uh-huh

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride, sword and pistol by his side, uh-huh uh-huh

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride uh-huh uh-huh

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride uh-huh uh-huh

Froggy went a courtin and he did ride, got himself a fine mouse bride, uh-huh uh-huh

That's all I can remember from when my mom and grandma would sing that particular song - but apparently it is a ballad with over 170 verses, only one of them being like the first one I remember. Personally after listening to Bob Dylan's version I like the one my relatives sang better.

Also, 'My Bonny Lies over the Ocean', 'Alouette', 'Frere Jacque (Brother John)' and 'She'll be Coming round the Mountain.'

The last one there is Esme's favorite - only because it calms her down. It was one of the songs I sang her at bathtime when she was newborn and I think the repetition made her respond to it best out of all of them.

She'll be coming round the mountain, when she comes (when she comes)

She'll be coming round the mountain, when she comes...

She'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (when she comes)

She'll be riding six white horses, when she comes (when she comes)

She'll be riding six white horses, when she comes...

She'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be riding six white horses, she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes (when she comes)

And we'll all go out to see her when she comes, (when she comes)

And we'll all go out to see her when she comes...

She'll be coming round the mountain, she'll be riding six white horses, and we'll all go out to see her when she comes (when she comes)

I've heard there are a lot more verses to that song too but that is the version I remembered being sung to me and as a little kid trying to remember where to put the new part when we got to the refrain.
