All,
If you SoMo boys remember we sang this song at the 97 district pow wow.
This discussion was started on the rev list I get.
Thought it was inserting.
Later,

This is a slight by the Loyal British about the American Drummers.  The
ears
are the tabs on a rope drum,  The British drummers kept their drums tied
tight with a specific knot called a drummers knot.  They alleged that
the
Americans could not tie their drums tight enough so when the heads were
tensioned the ears were at the bottom of the drum.

  Subject: [Revlist] Origin of this song? "Do your ears hang low..."


  You all are so well informed
  Here's a song to test your abilities on origins.
  Does anyone know where this song came from? My mother used to sing it
  to me in Ohio.

  Do your ears hang low?
  do they wobble to and fro
  can you tie them in a knot
  can you tie them in a bow
  can you throw them o'er your shoulder
  like a Continental soldier
  do your ears hang low?
