More ukulele Nursery Rhymes - sing to your children!

My last few chords and lyrics for playing nursery rhymes to small children on ukulele went down REALLY well, so I have decided to post a few more for you!

Singing to children is a wonderful way to pass the time, and as well as putting a smile on their faces also serves to start teaching them about music, melody, and performing.  As I said in the earlier nursery rhyme post, they are also simple to play on the uke, so great for beginners to work on their chords and strums! (there is a link to the earlier collection of nursery rhymes at the end of this post)
