I'm looking for the words to a silly state song I learned many years ago. It
has a question and answer format as follows:
What did Delaware, boys? What did Delaware?
What did Delaware, boys? What did Delaware?
She wore her New Jersey, boys. She wore her New Jersey, Boys.
She wore her New Jersey, boys. That's what she did where.

What did Mississip, boys? What did Mississip?
What did Mississip, boys? What did Mississip?
She sipped a Minnesota. She sipped a Minnesota.
She sipped a Minnesota. That's what she did sip.

What did Idaho, boys? What did Idaho?
What did Idaho, boys? What did Idaho?
She hoed her Maryland, boys. She hoed her Maryland, boys.
She hoed her Maryland, boys. That's what she did hoe.

Anyone out there know the remaining verses?

TIA,

Kristy Westman west...@central.edu

P.S. please excuse the typo up there. I'm using an editor that won't let me
go back and fix it.

How did Flora die, boys? She died in Misary.

How did Wiscon sin, boys? She stole a New brass key.

Where has Ore gone, boys? She's gone to Okla home.

What did Tenne see, boys? She saw what Arken saw.

What did Ia weigh, boys? She weighed a Washing ton.

Takes me back to my camp days!

Ah, yes, I remember in the days of my youth, in the John W. Schaum piano
books, there was a version of this. Went like this:

What did Delaware to Georgia's party down in Maryland?
She wore a New Jersey that Virginia bought in Michigan.
Did you know that Tennessee did see a saw in Arkansas?
For this silly song of states Iowa big apology! :)

Sounds like a fun song! Has anyone seen it in a book?
How can I get a copy of it?
