Words and music

[JohnPetitt]

I know an old woman who swallowed a fly

[mcmikeymike]

Perhaps she'll die ! Most famously recorded by Burl Ives.

You'll find the lyrics here : www.poppyfields.net/poppy/songs/oldwoman.html. ( Haven't got the hang of adding links yet i'm afraid - sorry ) Haven't heard that song for years. My dad taught me it and I had long since forgotten about it. Time to teach my own kids it , so thanks for the reminder !

That's a classic. We used to sing it in school. It was more of a Rhyme then a song.
