AN OLD WOMEN
This song is sung to the tune of “An Old Women” or it can just be chanted with the children adding the, “Oinks” at the end of some lines.
An old women bought a little pig,
Oink, oink, oink, - oink, oink, oink!
An old women bought a little pig,
It didn’t cost much, ‘cause it wasn’t very big,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
Soon that pig did lot’s of harm,
Oink, oink, oink, - oink, oink, oink!
Soon that pig did lot’s of harm,
As it ran around the farm,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
An old woman chased that pig,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
An old woman chased that pig,
He was hard to catch, ‘cause he wasn’t very big,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
Then the woman sold her pig,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
Then the woman sold her pig,
She went back home and danced a jig,
Oink, oink, oink – oink, oink, oink!
Adapted Traditional
You can also do this rhyme as a “round”, where the rhyme keeps going with other animals substituted for the pig and other animal sounds replacing the oinks.
As a round, the song would go on like this.
Then the woman sold her pig,
Oink, oink, oink, - oink, oink, oink!
Then the woman sold her pig,
And bought a cow that wasn’t very big,
Moo, moo, moo – moo, moo, moo!
The little cow did lots of harm,
Moo, moo, moo – moo, moo, moo!
Etc.
Continue as interest lasts, replacing each animal with another farm animal.
This would be fun to act out, letting your children be the different animals.

OLD MAC DONALD
Tune: “Old Mac Donald”
Old Mac Donald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o.
And on this farm, he had some pigs, e-i-e-i-o.
With an oink, oink here and an oink, oink there,
Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink, oink,
Old Mac Donald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o.

DOWN ON THE FARM
Tune: “Up On The Housetop”
Down on the farm we love to play
In the mud, all through the day.
That is why we love to spy
Great big rain clouds in the sky.
Rain, rain, rain, we love you.
Rain, rain, rain, yes, we do.
Great big rain clouds in the sky,
Please, oh please, don’t pass us by.
Down in the mud, we make a hole,
Where we like to roll and roll.
That is why we shout “hurray!”
Every time it rains today.
Rain, rain, rain, we love you.
Rain, rain, rain, yes, we do.
Great big rain clouds in the sky,
Please, oh please don’t pass us by.

PIGS IN THE MUD
Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”
Roll, roll, roll around
In the mud all day.
That is what the pigs all do.
What a way to play!
Roll, roll, roll around
That is how they stay,
Oh, so very nice and cool
On a sunny day!
