Modification of Historical Poem

Listen my children and you shall hear,
The midnight ride of the can of beer.
Down the alley and over the fence,
I've got the beer,
Who's got the ten cents?

 

Submitter comment:

Taught by Sister M. Eulalia in grade five. She learned this when she was a child which is easily seen by the price of the beer.


 

Where learned: ILLINOIS ; PEORIA ; 5th grade teacher

Subject headings: Ballad Song Dance Game Music Verse -- Narrative Verse
