[B. A. Botkin- American Play-Party Song; Oklahoma Texts and Tunes; 1937. See STAR PROMENADE.]
113. TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR
(sung by Clayton Black, east of Noble, Cleveland county.)
1. Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Ridin' on a cable wahr.*
Cable wahr broke, an' jumped the track,
I wish'd I had my nickel back.
Chorus: Oh, gents to the center an' a right hand crossed.
Be careful now, you don't get lost.
Back to the left an' don't be afraid.
Take your pardner an' all promenade.
* Ridin' on a gable bar.-Charlie Carr, Noble, Cleveland County.
