Apple Recorded in Huff, AR 1/1/62 Click here to listen to the original recording Go round and round the levee, Go round and round the levee, Go round and round the levee, ‘Til we have named the day.

And you know, I believe kids, when they did, that had more rhythm.” Dr. Wolf: “Yeah, they have one in the middle, do they, one in the center?” Mrs. Apple: “Always in the center.”) Also found in Randolph, Vol. III, #538, “Round and Round the Levee”; Brown, Vol. III, #76, “In and Out the Window.” |
