Guthrie, Woody “
Pick It Up” from 
Songs to Grow 
On for Mother and 
Child I dropped my thumb, pick it up, pick it up (x3) 
And put it back with my fingers 
I dropped my candy, pick it up, pick it up (x3) 
And throw it away in the garbage 
Pick, pick, pick, pick it up, pick it up (x4) 
I dropped my dolly, pick it up, pick it up (x3) 
And lay her down in her cradle 
I dropped my shoe, pick it up, pick it up (x3) 
And put it with my other shoe 
I dropped my head, pick it up, pick it up (x3) 
And put it back on my shoulders 
Pick, pick, pick, pick it up, pick it up (x8)
