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 dir
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
