Re: Song, "Jolly Little Eskimo" 8 Months ago  
I was searching Google for this song, and came across a Post from "Lucky 7" asking for the same song. My mother used to sing it to us when we were children. And the words were exactly what you wrote:

Jolly Little Eskimo
Dressed in fur from tip to toe
Jolly little Eskimo
Jolly little Eskimo

When he cracks his whip you'll know
He'll go fast o'er ice and snow
Jolly little Eskimo
Jolly little Eskimo

He eats the fat from a great big fish
And he thinks it's a dandy dish!
Jolly Little Eskimo
Jolly Little Eskimo!

These are all the verses my Mom sang to us. But I was wondering if that's all of the song. It is so great to find someone else who has heard of this song too!

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! The VERY one of my toddlerhood....thank you Rettamoon.

I was only about 3 or 4 when my mother used to sing this to me when bathing me, & we used to laugh our sides off at the reference of cracking his whip!

I can't remember any other verses, although I Googled it without any luck.

Are you in New Zealand by any chance?

Just interested whether this song was known anywhere else in the world.

Happy memories Rettamoon.

Welcome, & many thanks for providing it for me! .

No, not from New Zealand; just Missouri! So happy I could refresh your memory of the song. By the way, what area are you from? Just wondering how far this song made its way. Happy New Year to you, Lucky 7!

Same to you Rettamoon.

I live in Canterbury, ...a province in The South Island of New Zealand,..which consists of 2 major Islands, ...named North & South.

Our fore bears were so uninspired!!

Anyway, Real Women is based in Christchurch.

The song could almost be over the English speaking world.

Anyway, now you've dived in & tested the waters, how about posting in the Forum?

We'd love to hear about you & your life in Missouri.

We have other American members form all over The States.
