  • The following from Wikipedia all about the beginning of Old MacDonald: The Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore, published between 1952 and 1964, includes a song called "McDonald's Farm", collected from a Miss Mary Scarborough of Dare County "in 1923 or thereabouts." It has lyrics very close to the common modern version: Old McDonald had a farm, E-i ei o And on that farm he had some chicks, E-i ei o With a chick chick here and a chick chick there, And a here chick, there chick, everywhere chick chick. Old McDonald had a farm, E-i ei o. In the 1917 book, Tommy's Tunes, a collection of World War I era songs by F. T. Nettleingham, the song "Ohio (Old Macdougal Had a Farm)" has quite similar lyrics--though with a slightly different farmer's name and refrain: Old Macdougal had a farm in Ohio-i-o, And on that farm he had some dogs in Ohio-i-o, With a bow-wow here, and a bow-wow there, Here a bow, there a wow, everywhere a bow-wow. The Traditional Ballad Index consider the "Tommy's Tunes" version to be the earliest known version of "Old Macdonald Had a Farm", though it cites numerous variants, some of them much older.[1] Two of these variants were published in Vance Randolph's Ozark Folksongs in 1980. One was "Old Missouri", sung by a Mr. H. F. Walker of Missouri in 1922, a version that names different parts of the mule rather than different animals: Old Missouri had a mule, he-hi-he-hi-ho, And on this mule there were two ears, he-hi-he-hi-ho. With a flip-flop here and a flip-flop there, And here a flop and there a flop and everywhere a flip-flop Old Missouri had a mule, he-hi-he-hi-ho. The other variant from Ozark Folksongs was sung by Mr. Doney Hammondtree of Arkansas in 1942. He said he had learned the song around 1900 and that he "thinks it is the ancestor of another build-up song known as 'Old MacDonald Had a Farm'." Old Massa had a very fine hog, In the merry green fields of the lowland, He turned him in to be seen In the merry green fields of the lowland, And it's oink here, and an oink there, Naff-naff-naff and ev'rybody laugh as they go past In the merry green fields of the lowland. George Christy sang a similar version, "In the Merry Green Fields of Oland", in 1865.[citation needed] A British version of the song, called "The Farmyard, or The Merry Green Fields," was collected in 1908 from a 74-year-old Mrs. Goodey at Marylebone Workhouse, London, and published in Cecil Sharp's Collection of English Folk Songs. Up was I on my fa-ther's farm On a May day morn-ing ear-ly; Feed-ing of my fa-ther's cows On a May day morn-ing ear-ly, With a moo moo here and a moo moo there, Here a moo, there a moo, Here a pret-ty moo. Six pret-ty maids come and gang a-long o' me To the mer-ry green fields of the farm-yard. Perhaps the earliest recorded member of this family of songs is a number from an opera called The Kingdom of the Birds, published in 1719-1720 in Thomas D'Urfey's Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge Melancholy: In the Fields in Frost and Snows, Watching late and early; There I keep my Father's Cows, There I Milk 'em Yearly: Booing here, Booing there, Here a Boo, there a Boo, every where a Boo, We defy all Care and Strife, In a Charming Country-Life.

  • Song Lyrics:
    Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
    And on his farm he had a horse, E-I-E-I-O
    "Heeeeee" "heeee"
    here a "heeeeee"
    There a "heeeee"
    Everywhere he did go "heeeee"


    Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
    And on his farm he had a cat, E-I-E-I-O
    "Meow" "meow"
    Here a "meow"
    There a "meow"
    Everywhere he did go "meow"


    Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
    And on his farm he had a cow, E-I-E-I-O
    "Moo" "moo"
    Here a "moo"
    There a "moo"
    Everywhere he did go "moo"

    Old Macdonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O
    And on his farm he had a real smart dog, E-I-E-I-O ?
    You know how smart his dog was ? You might wondering ?
    And not only could he juggle 3 things on one hand while standing on the other one and spinning around and then using the third hand to direct traffic while the other foot was juggling 3 more things
    But this dog could talk
    You might be wondering what did this dog say ?
    Well one time someone was at the door and they ask the dog who was at the door ?
    And he said: “ ruth “ “ruth “ “ruth”
    Then one time there was you know they were wondering where Old Macdonald was and Old MacDonald was fixing the antenna
    And the dog said: “roof’ “roof “ “roof”
    And then one time because the dog had fallen from a high place they wondered how did that feel
    And the he said: “rough” “rough” “rough”
    Old MacDonald had a farm
    E-I-E-I
    E-I-E-I
    E-I-E-I-O
