Hill An’ Gully Rider

Hill an' gully
Hill an' gully
And then you bend down, down, down
Hill an' gully
And then you better mind your tumble down
Hill an' gully
If you tumble down you broke your neck
Hill an' gully
If you broke your neck you go to hell
Hill an' gully

This song (which can be sung as a round.) is from the Caribbean. Communities of farmers would help on each other’s farms, singing digging songs as they worked.
