THERE WAS A LITTLE WOMAN Sung by: Mrs. W.B. Apple Recorded in Huff, AR 1/1/62 Click here to listen to the original recording As I’ve heard tell. Fa la, diddle diddle da. She went to market, Her eggs to sell. Fa la, diddle diddle da. She went to market All on a market day, And she fell asleep Upon the King’s highway. Folly lolla lolla lolla la, Fa la la la la la la. (Dr. Wolf: “Now tell about that one.” Mrs. Apple: “Well, this is an old song that we just used to sing when we’d uh, when the young people would get together to have a party. The small children.”) |
