Songs and Rhymes about Homes

Some People Live In Tune: The Old Grey Mare
Some people live in, apartments
Live in apartments, live in apartments
Some people live in, apartments
That’s where some people live.

Some people live in, mobile homes
Live in mobile homes, live in mobile homes
Some people live in, mobile homes
That’s where some people live.

Some people live in; big houses
Live in big houses, live in big houses
Some people live in, big houses
That’s where some people live.

Some people live in, little houses
Live in little houses, live in little houses
Some people live in, little houses
That’s where some people live.

Old Foks at Home
Way down upon the Swanee River,
Far, far away.
That's where my heart is yearning ever,
Home where the old folks stay.
Way down upon the Swanee River,
Far, far away-hey.
that's where my heart is yearning ever,
Home where the old folks stay.
All up and down the whole creation,
Sadly I roam.
I'm a still a-longin' for the old plantation,
Oh, for the old folks at home.
