B W Sadly I wasn't actually there, but the Peter, Paul, and Mommy Too PBS Concert Special, video, and album, this entire concert was my introduction to Peter, Paul, and Mary. Long before I knew who Peter, Paul, and Mary REALLY were, I discovered them as what I thought were a bunch of brilliant children's artists, little did I know their history and how far back it went! I was actually around the same age as all of the children in the audience, so I am actually a child of that generation from the late 80s and 90s! Sadly as I grew up and lived on opposite ends of the country and despite getting 21 years to "follow" the career of The Trio, I would never get the opportunity to see Peter, Paul, and Mary together live in concert before Mary would tragically leave us in September of 2009. However, on the verge of giving up hope, I received a gift from heaven last year. In 2017 at age 29, I had the chance of a lifetime and had my dream come true after all as I had the unique opportunity to attend two separate concerts of Noel Paul Stookey and Peter Yarrow at the Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley, California where I got to see them, sing with them, meet them, get autographs, take pictures with them, talk with them and tell them my fan story and who I was, and most special of all, at the Peter concert I was actually invited ONSTAGE by PETER to sing Puff the Magic Dragon with him and his daughter Bethany who was also performing with him that evening! I am now 30 and it has almost been a year since, but I'm here to tell you if you believe the impossible, the incredible can come true! I apologize for making this so long, but as a PP&M diehard fan from the millenials generation, I wanted you to know my story! I would be happy to answer any other questions you might have about the concerts themselves or my lifelong enchantment and fascination with Peter, Paul, and Mary in general so please feel free to ask me anything and if you read this and responded, bless your heart and thank you! "The answer is still peace, and hope, and love, and justice, and equality, and all of us working for these things together, and God bless you (Mary Travers!)!" Rest in peace our dear Mary! You were one in a million!

I remember being freaked out by the Spider parts as a kid because I didn't realize they were doing an Elvis impression. Especially the last one after she swallows a cow.

I've got some more: I know an old lady who swallowed a duck What dumb luck! She swallowed a duck! I know an old lady who swallowed a giraffe! What a laugh! She swallowed a giraffe!
Lyrics The following is one version of the lyrics to demonstrate the song's cumulative nature: There 'was' an old tree that caught the sun, I don't know why it caught the sun; my oh my what had it done -a leaf falls as one! There 'was' an old tree that fell a leaf; I don't know how it fell a leaf; But it fell the leafs that fed the tree, the leafs of tree that caught the sun; my oh my what had it done, -another leaf falls as one! There 'was' an old hive of leafcutter ants, that found a tree of leafs thats spent; I don't know how those found that tree, but it found the tree that fell those leafs; those leafs of sun, caught and free; my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls as one! There 'was' an old village that swallowed those ants, I don't know why they swallowed those ants, but they swallowed those ants that ate the leafs, the leafs of tree; those leafs of sun; Caught and free, Each and every one my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls one! There 'was' an old village that swallowed some spiders That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'em; 'They' swallowed the spiders that caught the ants; The leafcutter ants that ate the leafs, the leafs of tree that caught the sun; my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls as one! There 'was' an old village that swallowed some birds; How absurd to swallow those birds! 'They' swallowed those birds that caught the spiders That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'em, 'They' swallowed the spiders that caught the ants, that ate the leafs that caught the sun My oh my what had it done -another leaf falls one! There 'was' an old village that swallowed some cats; Fancy that to swallow those cats! They swallowed those cats that caught the birds, They swallowed those birds that caught the spiders That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'em, They swallowed the spiders that caught the ants; I don't know why they swallowed those ants, those ant that ate those leafs of tree that caught the sun Spent and free each and every one; my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls one! There 'was' an old village that swallowed some dogs; What a hog to swallow those dogs! They swallowed the dogs that caught the cats, They swallowed the cats that caught the birds, They swallowed the birds that caught the spiders That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'em, They swallowed the spiders that caught the ants; I don't know why they swallowed those ants that ate the leaf that caught the sun, my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls down! There was an old village that swallowed some goats; Just opened their throats and swallowed some goats! They swallowed the goats that caught the dogs, They swallowed the dogs that caught the cats, They swallowed those cats that caught the birds, They swallowed the birds that caught the spiders That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'em, They swallowed the spiders that caught the ants; I don't know why they swallowed those ants that ate the leaf that caught the sun, my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls as one! There was an old village that swallowed a cow; I don't know how they swallowed some cow! They swallowed a cow that caught the goats, They swallowed the goats that caught the dogs, They swallowed the dogs that caught the cats, They swallowed the cats that caught the birds, They swallowed the birds that caught the spiders That wriggled and jiggled and tickled inside 'em, They swallowed the spider that caught the ants; I don't know why they swallowed those ants that ate the leafs that caught the sun; my oh my what had it done - another leaf falls as one! ……

This was just awesome! Entertainment at its best for viewing for our entire families. Thanks so much for posting this on TH-cam.
I used to have this album and I'm dying of laughter at this, years later!
Instant childhood memories here ! Loved this song as a little schoolie , lol ! 😁🤣👌
I loved this song when I was 5 years old! So witty!
Thank you for a piece of my childhood.
Used to sing this song in day camp when I was 9 or 10 with slightly different words. This version is great!
One of the joys of performing in front of a group of kids...you get to be a kid yourself.
this is one of my and my children favourites ... very entertaining and you get a big case of the giggles and they find yourself singing along .. and even doing your own Elvis impersonation ... ENJOY!!!

all these years later, and this still makes me laugh with my own children! 😅
Wouldn't it be nice if someone sees themselves in the audience to tell us how old you are now & fondly remembers this show !

Childhood Memories
they look so serious you think they're gonna sing a serious song. makes me laugh all the same.
I remember being freaked out by the Spider parts as a kid because I didn't realize they were doing an Elvis impression. Especially the last one after she swallows a cow.
It sure would be nice if we could do a mandolin cover of the song as the old guy in overalls has it at 0:00.
5:59, XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD loltrains!
Jaxen Ross is b-a-c-k! Ikr
Should I be concerned for these two?
Nah. It's just the amount of raep faic that causes alarm. You get used to it when you're in the fandom.
As Elvis Presley

I know an old lady who swallowed a what?!

I find this even funnier than I did ten years ago when I was young.
And I find it funnier than 60 years ago when I was young. It is a very very very very old song
I know an old lady who swallowed the EARTH
Oh, what mirth! She swallowed the Earth!
Oh what waist girth, since swallowing Earth. (But! Where was she standing when she swallowed the Earth?)
I've got some more:
I know an old lady who swallowed a duck
What dumb luck! She swallowed a duck!
I know an old lady who swallowed a giraffe!
What a laugh! She swallowed a giraffe!
Alive?! She's supposed to be dead.

I have it on videotape... but I no longer have a working videocassette player...

The following is one version of the lyrics to demonstrate the song's cumulative nature:
There 'was' an old tree that caught the sun, I don't know why it caught the sun;
