Greetings,
This is what I remember of the song that Mr. Thygeson
(originally Mr. Tierson from Denmark) taught Scoot and
me, sung to a lovely Danish melody. It could be a nursery
rhyme. I first memorized it around 1920 and it was an old
classic even then.
It is years since I sung it with my buddy.
Dan an Saxon, Dan skul verdonder, F F A A G G E C
Fra and a and tilda nonder, F F A A G G E C
Dad o shay, dad o shay, F F A A D D F F
Dad o skatlat C E D E
Day day shay F F F
I apologize if I have butchered this-- but it has
been a long long time.
Good luck in the translation.
Love, MOM
