LA PIÑATA Mexican Folk Song

Translation: In the night of the posadas the piñata is the best, even the shyest girls are excited. SECTION III
Hit, hit it, hit it, donÊt lose your aim, because if you lose it, you lose the path.

Note: Los Posadas is a part of the Christmas celebration in Mexico. It begins on December 16 and ends on December 24. Each night children go through
their neighborhood searching for a room at the „inn‰ (posada), just as Mary and Joseph did. Once one of the neighbors opens a door to indicate there is
room at the „inn,‰ the party begins, with the breaking of a pin→ata, usually made of papier-mâche and filled with candy and toys.

ChildrenÊs Game Song

Take the key and lock her up, My fair lady-O.

3. Build it up with silver and gold, silver and gold, silver and gold,
Build it up with silver and gold, My fair lady-O.

Note: London Bridge was a very old bridge in London, England. After 150 years of use, it began sinking into the River Thames so a new bridge was
built. The old one was bought by Americans, taken apart, and shipped to the United States. It was rebuilt, stone by stone, and is now the central attraction
at Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

4. My feet are in the stirrups and my rope is on the side,

Note: This was probably a song cowboys sang as they moved cattle from places like Texas to market places in the north and east. Their days and nights
were long. As the cowboys sat around the fire or the chuck wagon after the evening meal, someone in the group probably started singing and before
long they were entertaining themselves with songs like this one to ease the loneliness of life on the trail.

Note: At Hanukkah, a holiday celebrated by Jewish people, children play games. One is a spin-the-dreydl game. A dreydl is a top with four sides.
A Hebrew letter is printed on each side. The letters are: Gimmel · all, Nun · nothing, Heh · take half, and Shin · add to the pot. Each player has a
certain number of „coins‰ (pennies, peanuts, etc.) and places one in the center. The game is played by spinning the top and following the directions on
the letter on the end that faces up. The winner is the child with all of the „coins.‰

Note: In the 1800s, many pioneers moved west to seek a better life. They often traveled in covered wagons. These wagons were sturdy and could carry
the travelersÊ food, clothing, tools, etc. At night, the wagons provided a protected place to sleep. This song might have been the kind that pioneers sang
and danced to as a way to entertain themselves on the long journey.

OLD TEXAS

Cowboy Song

* One group of singers can sing the smaller notes.

2. TheyÊve plowed and fenced my cattle range,
And the people there are all so strange.

3. IÊll take my horse, IÊll take my rope,
And hit the trail upon a lope.

4. Say adios to the Alamo,
And turn my head toward Mexico.

5. IÊll make my home on the wide, wide range,
For the people there are not so strange.

6. For the hard, hard ground shall be my bed,
And my saddle seat shall hold my head.

Note: No one is certain just how cowboy songs originated or whether the tunes were composed by the men themselves. Most likely they were based on
existing melodies, borrowed from popular ballads, railroad songs, or mountain songs of the late nineteenth century. After the cowboysÊ evening meal,
the most musical of the group might strike up a solo as the men sat around the fire or chuck wagon. Hardly any one singer remembered all the verses, so
other men might add stanzas to keep things going. Singing songs like this was a great way for cowboys to entertain themselves and ease the loneliness
of their life on the trail.

OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOOD

Lydia M. Child
(United States, 1802 1880)

2. Over the river and through the wood, And straight to the barnyard gate;
We seem to go so very slow, And itÊs so hard to wait.
Over the river and through the wood, Now grandmotherÊs cap I spy.
Hurrah for the fun, the puddingÊs done, Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

3. Over the river and through the wood, Now soon weÊll be on our way;
ThereÊs feasting and fun for evÊryone, For this is Thanksgiving day.
Over the river and through the wood, Get on, my dapple grey.
The woods will ring with the songs we sing, For this is Thanksgiving day.

Note: „Over the River and through the Wood‰ is part of a poem by Lydia Child called „A BoyÊs Thanksgiving Day.‰ Child was one of the most prom-
inent women of her day. Born Lydia Maria Francis at Medford, Massachusetts, she spent most of her life in Boston, where she worked to promote
womenÊs right to vote, temperance, and the abolition of slavery. Child had strong moral convictions, and with her husband, she opened her home as a
link in the Underground Railroad that aided enslaved African Americans.
