old silly farmyard song

[quibblingmed]

donkeys years ago, my grandad used to sing me a song, it went like this"suzannah he had an old sow(snort like a pig)ow, idley dow, suzannah he had an old sow..it went on doing all the farmyard animals, i have no idea what it was called or who sang it and i cant ask him cos he died, and it would mean heaps to find it

If I'm thinking of the same thing, Ken Dodd used to sing it during his stand-up shows.  This link has the lyrics and you can listen to an mp3.

Thanks also, I've found some old favourites here (sad) - pity they are only samples, not the full song.

I Know An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly

I Know A Song (That Gets On Everybody's Nerves) (not the Joe Pasquale version - pity!)

I believe it's called "Susannah's a funny old man" and may have been a music hall faviourite. My Dad used to sing it and said that my Granddad had it on a 78 from the 1930's

forget my previous post, most sources that I can find refer to it as "The old sow song".
