Hello everyone!
I wanted to share this album I made of traditional nursery rhymes with you. It was an idea I had a couple of weeks ago, to make an album like this for my own daughter, but since then it's really grown into something I want to share with everyone. You don't need to have children to enjoy it although, it is suitable music for children!
You'll find many of the songs have the original "dangerous" lyrics about death, crime, prison and violence added back into them. It's really a silly thing to remove them in the first place. I've never been a fan of that sort of censorship and anyways kids can often handle these themes quite easily.
I tried finding the oldest versions of the lyrics, but I didn't try too hard. It's difficult to do in depth research with a toddler around. Coupled with the fact that I tend to change lyrics to suit my taste. So in a way these songs continue on in that old great folk tradition. I hope you enjoy them!
