I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

This Old Man
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.178
D - / G A - D - / A D
This old man, he played one
He played knick-knack on my thumb
With a knick-knack, paddy-whack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man, he played two
He played knick-knack on my shoe
With a knick-knack, paddy-wack, give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man, he played three
He played knick-knack on my knee
With a knick-knack, paddy-whack, give your dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
This old man, he played four
He played knick-knack on my door
With a knick-knack, paddy-wack, give a dog a bone
This old man came rolling home
He played five / He played knick-knack on my hive
He played six / He played knick-knack with some sticks
He played seven / He played knick-knack up in heaven
(He played seven / He played knick-knack up to heaven)
He played eight / He played knick-knack on my pate
(He played eight / He played knick-knack on my plate)
He played nine / He played knick-knack on my spine
He played ten / He played knick-knack once again
