My Mother Told Me (Rubber Dolly)
"My mother knew this as a skipping/ball throwing song as she grew up in the 40's in London." -Mellissa
My Mother Told Me (Rubber Dolly)
Hand Clapping Song
My mother told me, if I was goody
Then she would buy me, a rubber dolly
But then I told her, I kissed a soldier,
Now she won't buy me, a rubber dolly.
Notes
Another Version:
My Mother told me
If I was goody
That she would buy me
A rubber dolly
My Auntie told her
I'd kissed a soldier
Now she won't buy me
A rubber dolly.
Phyllis sent this version:
My Momma done told me
When I was in pigtails that
I'd get a rubber dolly
But someone done told her
That I kissed a soldier
So I didn't get my rubber dolly
Bum bolly.
