That Rooster Crow

Sea Lion Woman / Sea Lion

She drank coffee / Sea Lion

She drank tea / Sea Lion

And he gamble lie / Sea Lion

Way down yonder / Sea Lion

I'm going maul / Sea Lion

And the rooster crow / Sea Lion

And he gamble lie / Sea Lion

A song that has gone by many names over the years, "Sea Lion Woman",

was originally recorded in 1939 by Herbert Halpert and sung by two sisters,

Christine and Katherine Shipp.

This American Folk song was originally used as a children's playground song

and was later covered by such artists as folklorist John Lomax, pop singer Nina Simone,

and, more recently, Miss Leslie Feist.
