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
