Down by the Bay

Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow
E
Back to my home, I dare not go

For if I do, my mother would say,
(verse spoken-no chords)
"Have you ever seen a bear combing his hair?"
B7 E
Down by the bay.
(verses)
Did you ev-er see a goose_ kissing a moose
Did you ev-er see a whale with a polka dot tail
Did you ev-er see a fly_ wear-ing a tie
Did you ev-er see a bear_ comb-ing_ his hair
Did you ev-er see llamas eating their pyjamas
Did you ev-er have a time when you couldn't make a rhyme

Do Your Ears Hang Low
E
Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
B7
Can you tie them in a bow?
E
Can you throw them o’er your shoulder
like a continental soldier?
E B7 E
Do your ears hang low?
OTHER VERSES:
Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they droop when they are wet?
Do they stiffen when they’re dry?
Can you semaphore your neighbour
with a minimum of labour?
Do your ears hang high?
Do your ears flip-flop?
Can you use them for a mop?
Are they stringy at the bottom?
Are they curly at the top?
Can you use them for a swatter?
Can you use them for a blotter?
Do your ears flip-flop?
Do your ears hang out?
Can you waggle them about?
Can you flip them up and down
as you fly around the town?
Can you shut them up for sure
when you hear an awful bore?
Do your ears hang out

Oh Susannah
E B
Oh I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee,
E B E
I'm going to Louisiana, my true love for to see
E B
It rained all night the day I left, the weather it was dry
E B E
The sun so hot I froze to death; Susanna, don't you cry.
A E B
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
E
For I come from Alabama,
B E
with my banjo on my knee.

I had a dream the other night when everything was still,
E B E
I thought I saw Susanna coming up the hill,
E B
The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, the tear was in her eye,
E B E
I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry.
A E B
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me
E
For I come from Alabama,
B E
with my banjo on my knee.
E B
I soon will be in New Orleans, and then I'll look around
E B E
And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall upon the ground.
E B
But if I do not find her, this darkey'll surely die,
E B E
and when I'm dead and buried, Susanna don't you cry.
A E B
Oh, Susanna, don't you cry for me

For I come from Alabama,
