Little Seed lyrics

Take my little hoe, dig a hole in the ground

Take my little seed and I plant it down;

Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,

We’ll all dance around and see my little seed grow.

CHORUS:

Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,

Tooky, tooky, tooky, tooky, tidalo,

Let’s all dance around and see my little seed grow.

The rain it come and it washed my ground

I thought my little seed was going to drown

I waded and I splashed and I carried my seed

I planted it again on some higher ground.

Chorus

The sun got hot and my ground got dry.

I thought my little seed would burn and die.

I carried some water from a watering mill,

I said, “Little, you can drink your fill.”

Chorus

The snow it blowed and the wind it blew;

My little seed grew and it grew and it grew.

It grew up a cradle all soft inside;

And a baby was sleeping there covered over with vines.
