Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

"Hi!" said the little leatherwing bat
"I'll tell you the reason that
The reason that I fly by night
It's because I've lost
My heart's delight"

Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey lee lee little lye lee lo

"Hi!" said the woodpecker setting
On a fence "I once loved a handsome wench
But she got saucy and from me fled
Ever since then my head's been red"
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey lee lee littlе lye lee lo

"Hi, " said the little bird sob bluе
"If I'd been a young man I'd have had two
So if one got saucy and wanted to go
I'd have me a new string to my bow"

Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey lee lee little lye lee lo

"Ow! " said the owl with head so white
"A lonesome day and a lonesome night
I thought I heard some pretty girl say
Court all night and sleep all day"

Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey lee lee little lye lee lo

"Hi!" said the lonesome turtle dove
"I'I I tell you how to gain her love
Keep her up both night and day
Never give her time to say go away"
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Howdy dowdy diddle um day
Hey lee lee little lye lee lo
