AMERICAN BALLADS AND SONGS 239
Tending to my father's pigs
That I fattened in the pens of Violo.
And a boo hoo here and a boo hoo there,
Here a boo and there a boo, and
A suke suke here and a suke suke there,
Here a suke and there a suke, and
A gee ho here and a gee ho there,
Here a gee and there a gee, and 0 pretty maids, won't you come and go with me
To the sweet fields of Violo!
How happy I was on my father's farm,
Sweet fields of Violo, Tending to my father's sheep That ran in the vales of Violo.
And a bleat bleat here, and a bleat bleat there.
Here a bleat and there a bleat, and
A boo hoo here and a boo hoo there,
Here a boo and there a boo, and
A suke suke here and a suke suke there,
Here a suke and there a suke, and
A gee ho here and a gee ho there,
Here a gee and there a gee, and O pretty maids, won't you come and go with me
To the sweet fields of Violo!
- How happy I was on my father's farm,
Sweet fields of Violo, Tending to my father's geese That swam in the ponds of Violo.
With a shoo shoo here and a shoo shoo there,
