Hello,

I am looking for a certain lullabye or nursery rhyme that has to do with a cucumber…

‘Go to sleep baby and I will give you a cucumber’ or ‘Stop to cry baby…’

I would have posted it but I have no idea where this rhyme is from. Have you heard of it?

Thank you very much,
Amelia Smith

ps. Your site is WONDERFUL.

    Do you know if the song is originally in English or another language?

    My name is Ruth Koenders,I am a songwriter from Suriname,and I am very curious about the song: a cucumber from Suriname.
    I am sure its a good cucumber:)
    I know a lot of Songs,especially Surinamese songs and I also write songs for children,but I never heard of this cucumber song. I guess its made outside of Suriname.
