A traditional American children's song that became very popular in the 1960s folk/blues scene in England. The chord harmonies for most of the song are based on the "sixth" interval with a drone open top string. This gives you a different approach and a more "open" sound to playing full chords which might be the "typical" style for an American folk song accompaniment. John teaches variations for the picking patterns that can be used for the improvised instrumental breaks. A great one to learn for someone beginning to fingerpick.
