Here’s a pretty little song called Good Morning, Merry Sunshine from a Librivox rendition of Little Red Riding Hood…
MP3 Recording of Good Morning, Merry Sunshine
Good Morning, Merry Sunshine
Good morning, merry sunshine,
How did you come so soon?
You chase the little stars away
And shine away the moon.
I saw you go to sleep last night
Before I ceased my playing.
How did you get ‘way over there,
And where have you been staying?
*****
Sung by Miss Avarice.

I’m 69 yrs old and was taught this rhyme a little differently by my grandmother
Who helped raise me. She was born in January, 1900 and told this rhyme pretty
Much every day of my life growing up. Of course, it can be no different for me…ever!
Good morning, Merry Sunshine! How do you wake so soon?
You’ve frightened all the stars away and shined away the moon.
I saw you go to sleep last night, before I stopped my playing.
How did you get way over there and where have you been staying?
I never go to sleep, Dear Child, I just go round to see
The little children of the East who rise and watch for me.
I waken all the birds and trees and flowers on my way
And then, come back to see the child who stayed out late to play.

Good morning Merry Sunshine, how do you feel today? You wake up all the birds and bees and send them on their way!
My grandmother sang every morning to my mother who sang to us!
