[edit] Alternative verses

I've never heard or read the watermelon verse, but in placement itsmreplaced with this one:

Oh, I came to a river and I couldn't get across / singing Polly wolly doodle all the day / so I jumped upon a man 'cause I thought he was a horse / sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

I'm assuming the watermelon reference is removed because it can be found offensive. BethEnd 23:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've heard or seen the verse you give above with the word "man" replaced with the "N" word, so I'm not sure what's more offensive. 140.147.160.34 (talk) 16:18, 14 March 2008 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza

[edit] These Happy Golden Years

Could whoever have mentioned this book flesh out this paragraph a little? It makes no sense in this context. Is this the book by Laura Ingalls Wilder? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.235.240 (talk) 19:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
