Take My Little Seed
Took it, took it, took it,
took it high to low,
we'll all dance around
and see my little seed grow.
The rain had come
and it washed my ground
and I thought my little seed
was going to drown
And I waited, and I splashed,
and carried my seed,
and I planted it again on
some higher ground.
Tookie, tookie, tookie,
tookie, tidal low.
Let's all dance around
and see my little seed grow.
The sun got hot, my ground got dry,
and I thought my little seed
would burn and die.
I carried some water from a watering mill,
and I said, little seed,
you can drink your fill.
Tookie, tookie, tookie, tookie, tidal low,
Tookie, tookie, tookie, tookie, tidal low,
Tookie, tookie, tookie, tookie tied to low,
All danced around
and seen my little seed grow.
The snow it blowed and the wind it blew,
My little seed it grew and it grew,
Grew up a cradle all soft inside,
And a baby was a -sleepin'
covered over with vines.
Tukki, tukki, tukki, tukki tidal low.
Tukki, tukki, tukki, tukki tidal low.
Tukki, tukki, tukki, tukki tidal low.
All dance around
and see my little seed grow.
