The Farmer In the Dell is a very popular tune with an easy melodic rhyme to sing as well. With simple words and two easy chords to play, you're on your way with some fun classroom songs.
"The Farmer in the Dell" is a singing game, nursery rhyme and children's song. It probably originated in Germany around 1826, and was brought to North America by immigrants. It spread widely and of course there are many geographic variations. For more information, visit https://en.wikipedia.org
Yes, country living is for us. We enjoy farming avocados on 2 1/2 acres of land in SoCal. One of our five grandchildren decided to be a farm helper. Many hands make the work go quickly!
