Can Someone Collect the Songs?????

[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

I love these songs. Can someone look at the messages from a few days ago and collect all the songs into one message and send them to me. I'll make up a file and put it in the files of Ranchos2.

thanks,

joseph

I actually heard that song when I was a kid in Mexico, but a little 
bit different. It went something like this:

Acerrin, acerran,
los maderos de San Juan,
piden pan y no les dan,
piden queso y les dan hueso,
se les atora en el pescuezo,
y se ponen a llorar.

How about the following song sung to children who are sitting on 
    

your lap,
  

being rocked back and forth, while holding on to their arms :
 
Riqui ran, riqui ran,
Los maderos de San Juan, 
piden pan, no les dan.
Les dan un palo detras del pezqueso. (this is when you let go of 
    

one of
  

their arms, and do a gentle chopping on the back of their neck)
 
My parents have done this with all of their grandchildren.  The 
    

children
  

used to laugh with glee even though they didn't understand Spanish.
 
Has anyone else heard this rocking song?
Just wondering...

Subject: [ranchos] Atole Song and El Paso


My husband's great-grandfather came from Jalisco to El Paso in 
    

1895. My
  

husband was born in El Paso in 1935 on Overland Street.  He last 
    

lived in
  

the Alamitos Projects in the Segundo Barrio until his folks 
    

divorced in 1947
  

and his mother moved them to California.
 
My husband remembers going with his grandpa "Tata" across to 
    

Juarez on the
  

streetcar to do all those things that some of you remember doing. 
    

I told my
  

husband about the discussions here, and I asked him if he had ever 
    

had
  

atole.  "He said, of course", and he started singing a little song 
    

about it:
  

 
       -----pasen a tomar atole,
              todos los que estan pasando,
              que el alole esta muy bueno,
      !         y pronto se esta 'cabando----
 
            Then he went into a military like cadence, and some of 
    

the rest
  

of the song goes:
 
        -----rana, rana, cola de rana----
 
         -----el zapato de Augustin
                se los puso el chapulin-----
 
Does that ring a bell with anyone?
 
My husband also just brought up a book from our library.   I had 
    

forgotten
  

about it.  We have most of the books already mentioned.  Does 
    

anyone have "A
  

Mexican American Childhood--A Place in El Paso" by Gloria Lopez-
    

Stafford.
  

It brought back so many memories for my husba! nd.  Anyone who 
    

grew up in El
  

Paso would enjoy it.
