Holler Down My Rain Barrel

Valdez has been pounding rain for a week straight with no end in sight. Some seniors are saying its going to rain til it snows.


This rain barrel reminded me of an old song grandma taught us in the 50's.



Playmate on the piano.
Written in 1894 by Philip Wingate
Oh, little playmate.
Come out and play with me
And bring your dollies,three
Climb up your apple tree
Holler down your rain barrel
Slide down your cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forevermore

Oh little playmate
I can not play with you
My dolly's got the flu
Boo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Ain't got no rain barrel
Ain't got no cellar door
But we'll be jolly friends
Forevermore

Oh little playmate
Come out and play with me
I'll bring my dollies, three
Climb up my apple tree
Holler down my rain barrel
Slide down my cellar door
And we'll be jolly friends
Forevermore
