It's raining, it's pouring;
The old man is snoring.
He went to bed and he
Bumped his head
And he couldn't get up
In the morning.
And so it goes on another Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.
Thanks for singing along with me and have a great weekend!
A little bit of history about the song. It is a quite modern nursery rhyme, first recorded by the composer Charles Ives in 1939, New York.
The first line “It’s raining – it’s pouring – old men are snoring” was once published in The Outlook, weekly newspaper (New York City, 1909). Since then, there was no other mention about it until 1939. From 1944 onwards the song’s copyright belongs to Freda Selicoff, Indiana.
