Contents 1 Origins and history 2 Lyrics 3 Variations 4 References Origins and history The origins of this song are obscure. The earliest extant record is a version noted in Anne Gilchrist's Journal of the English Folk Dance and Song Society (1937) , learnt from her Welsh nurse in the 1870s under the title Jack Jintle with the lyrics: [1] My name is Jack Jintle, the eldest but one, And I can play nick-nack upon my own thumb. With my nick-nack and click-clack and sing a fine song, And all the fine ladies come dancing along. My name is Jack Jintle, the eldest but two, And I can play nick-nack upon my own shoe. With my nick-nack and click-clack and sing a fine song, And all the fine ladies come dancing along. My name is Jack Jintle, the eldest but three, And I can play nick-nack upon my own knee. With my nick-nack and click-clack and sing a fine song, And all the fine ladies come dancing along. Lyrics A more familiar version goes like this: This old man, he played one, He played knick-knack on my drum With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played two, He played knick-knack on my shoe; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played three, He played knick-knack on my knee; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played four, He played knick-knack on my door; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played five, He played knick-knack on my hive; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played six, He played knick-knack on my sticks; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played seven, He played knick-knack up in heaven; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played eight, He played knick-knack on my gate; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played nine, He played knick-knack on my spine; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. This old man, he played ten, He played knick-knack once again; With a knick-knack paddywhack, Give the dog a bone, This old man came rolling home. ================================= knick knack........... this fits (almost) with a gnome. a small gnome. and that is what the poem says! a small gnome for a small? loan? ? ? i love this poem and felt i must have read it already IF i'd seen the captivating title before. apparently i did not, so i'm glad i took the opportunity today. to MyPoemList. bri :)
