Roll me Over in the Clover

According to an off-handed note in Hugill, this song is a soldiers' song, popular

during World War II.

The rhyming, melody and rhythm probably have stayed the same over the years,

but it seems like it's too tempting to change a verse or two in this song for all the

words to have stayed true.

We've tried it once or

And found it rather nice

Chorus:

Roll me over lay me down and do it again

Roll me over in the clover, roll me over lay me down and do it again

Oh this is number one

And the fun has just begun

[Gill Over the Ground- Glechoma hedercea ]

Oh this is number two,

Down in front he's comin through

Oh this is number three And his hand is on me knee Oh this is number four And he's been there twice before Oh this is number five I'm surprised I'm still alive

[BLOODROOT--Sanguinaria Canadensis]

**

Oh this is number six, And he's got me doin tricks [Carolina Spring Beauty

Claytonia caroliniana]

**

Well this is number seven, And he took me straight to heaven Oh this is number eight, He bent me o'er the garden gate

Chionodoxa luciliae (also known as Glory of the snow) is a small (3-6") flower which grows from a hardy bulb and produces one of the earliest flowers of spring. Originally from Turkey, it is hardy in hardiness zones 3-8, sun or part shade. Chiodoxa seeds itself and will spread in beds that will later have other interest, like rose beds and so on.

Oh this is number nine, And the baby's doin fine Oh this is number ten, And when he's through we'll do it again Oh this is number eleven and it's just like number seven

“We are not amused”
