Old Dan Tucker (Variation)

I like to teach my students lots of versions of this song so they can see how it changes over time and place.  These verses are a lot of fun to sing, too.

Johnny Get Your Hair Cut

This song is good for practicing four sound to a beat when sung as-is, or for vocal or movement improvisation if singers get to make up actions for other players to do.
