Four White Horses – Caribbean Folk Song

Saturday, May 2nd, 2009

My daughter taught me Four White Horses yesterday. She recently learned it in her music class. It’s a Caribbean Folk Song and a hand clapping game all wrapped up into one!

Here are the lyrics…

Four White Horses
Hand Clapping Song

Four white horses, on the river,
Hey, hey, hey, up tomorrow,
Up tomorrow is a rainy day.
Come on up to the shallow bay,
Shallow bay is a ripe banana,
Up tomorrow is a rainy day.

Here’s a YouTube Video so you can see one way to play the hand clapping game (you’ll have to wait to get past the theme song at the beginning of the video)…

Here you can hear a chorus singing it…

Check out our song page of Four White Horses for an mp3 and other info about the song.

Feel free to share any versions you know of this song in the comments below. We also welcome any info about the meaning and history of the song.

Cheers!

Mama Lisa
