The Mango Song

Mango

Pick the mango from the tree

Hand the mango down to me

Put the mango in a sack

Put the sack upon my back

Everybody, now come along

Help me sing my mango song

Mango

Take the mango to the square

Try to sell the mango there

If I do not sell it, then

Take it back and try again

Everybody, now come along

Help me sing my mango song

Mango

Pickin' mango is mighty hard

Children play in Daddy's yard

Woman work in the kitchen

Cooking meals and patching britches

Everybody, now come along

Help me sing my mango song

Mango

See the woman walking by

See her basket sitting high

Basket high on woman head

Did you hear what the woman said

Everybody, now come along

Help me sing my mango song

Mango
