Nashville Kids' Sound and Kim Mitzo Thompson - Over In The Meadow

Over in the meadow in the sand, in the sun,
Lived an old mother toadie and her little toadie one.
”Wink!” said the mother. ”I wink!” said the one.
So they winked and they blinked in the sand, in the sun.

Over in the meadow where the streams run blue,
Lived an old mother fish and her little fishies two.
”Swim!” said the mother.” We swim!” said the two.
So they swam and they leaped where the stream runs blue.

Over in the meadow in a hole in the tree,
Lived an old mother bluebird and her little birdies three.
”Sing!” said the mother. ”We sing!” said the three.
So they sang and were glad in a hole in the tree.

Over in the meadow in the reeds on the shore,
Lived an old mother muskrat and her little ratties four.
”Dive!” said the mother. ”We dive!” said the four.
So they dived and they burrowed in the reeds on the shore.

Over in the meadow in a snug beehive,
Lived a mother honey bee an her little bees five.
”Buzz!” said the mother. “We buzz!” said the five.
So they buzzed and they hummed in the snug beehive.

Over in the meadow in a nest built of sticks,
Lived black mother crow and her little crows six.
”Caw!” said the mother. “We caw!” said the six.
So they cawed and they crawled in their nest built of sticks.

Over in the meadow where the grass is so even,
Lived a gay mother cricket and her little crickets seven.
”Chirp!” said the mother. “We chirp!” said the seven.
So they chirped cheery notes in the grass soft and even.
