Cindy | Old Bluegrass Song | Performed on Flute

Get along home Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you some day

"Cindy" or "Cindy, Cindy" (Roud 836) is a well-known American folk song, believed to have originated in North Carolina, according to folklorist ...John Lomax.[citation needed] Throughout the early and mid-20th century, "Cindy" was widely included in elementary school songbooks as a classic example of folk music.

One of the earliest documented versions of the song appears in Anne Virginia Culbertson’s 1904 collection of Negro folktales, At the Big House, Where Aunt Nancy and Aunt 'Phrony Held Forth on the Animal Folks. In the book, a character named Tim sings a plantation song called "Cindy Ann," with the following verse and refrain:

I'se gwine down ter Richmond
I'll tell you w'a hit's for:
I'se gwine down ter Richmond
Fer ter try an' end dis war

An'-a you good-by, Cindy, Cindy
Good-by, Cindy Ann
An'-a you good-by, Cindy, Cindy
I'se gwine ter Rappahan[1]

Like many folk songs, "Cindy" evolved over time, with performers often adding or modifying verses. As noted by Byron Arnold and Bob Halli in An Alabama Songbook, musicians sometimes interchanged lyrics with those from other folk tunes, such as "Old Joe Clark" and "Boil Them Cabbage Down."

The melody of "Cindy" is derived from the spiritual "The Gospel Train," also known as "Get on Board, Little Children."

Notable Recordings and Adaptations
A version of "Cindy," titled "Cindy, Cindy," was written by Buddy Kaye, Benjamin Weisman, Dolores Fuller, and Fred Wise. This rendition became widely recognized through recordings by artists such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Ricky Nelson, Warren Zevon, and Nick Cave (who performed it as a duet with Johnny Cash). Bing Crosby also featured the song in a medley on his 1961 album 101 Gang Songs.

Mack Wilberg arranged a choral version of "Cindy," incorporating a four-hand piano accompaniment, double eight-part choirs, string bass, xylophone, and other quintessential Americana instruments, particularly during the lively hoedown section. This arrangement is available for choral performance, and Wilberg also created a special orchestral adaptation for the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square, featuring a full orchestral accompaniment.

In 2010, Robert Plant recorded a rendition titled "Cindy, I'll Marry You Someday" on his album Band of Joy.

Modern Variations
Many contemporary versions of "Cindy" feature modified lyrics, such as:

You ought to see my Cindy
She lives way down South
And she's so sweet the honeybees
All swarm around her mouth

Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
Get along home, Cindy, Cindy
I'll marry you someday

Lyrics: Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The First says speak and worship free,
The press can write for you and me.
We can gather, share our views,
And tell the government our news!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Second says we have the right,
To bear our arms and stand and fight.
A militia strong, for all to see,
Defends our state and liberty!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Third reminds us, plain and clear,
No soldiers in your house appear.
Unless the law says it’s okay,
Your home is safe in peace today!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Fourth protects our privacy,
From searches done unlawfully.
Without a warrant, they can’t come near,
Our homes and papers are secure here!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Fifth ensures we’re treated fair,
No double trials or secrets there.
We can’t be forced to take the stand,
And private land needs just demand.

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Sixth says trials must be quick,
With a jury fair to do the trick.
The accused can know what they’ve done wrong,
And bring a lawyer to come along.

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Seventh keeps the jury’s power,
In civil cases, it’s their hour.
If money’s high, they’ll take the stand,
And justice flows across the land.

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Eighth says punishments must be fair,
No cruel or harsh treatment anywhere.
No bail too high, no fines extreme,
Protecting people is the theme!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Ninth reminds us, don’t you fret,
There’s other rights we haven’t met.
Just because they’re not in sight,
Doesn’t mean they’re not your right!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

The Tenth says states and people share,
The powers not listed are theirs to bear.
The balance keeps us bold and free,
A union strong for you and me!

Oh, the Bill of Rights, the first ten rules,
Protecting freedoms, it’s super cool!
James Madison wrote them down,
To keep our rights safe and sound!

Now you’ve learned the Bill of Rights,
Guiding us through days and nights.
They guard our freedoms, one through ten,
For every child, woman, and man!

The Bill of Rights Song on YouTube teaches the Bill of Rights, or the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.
This catchy tune can be used to study for social studies tests on the Bill of Rights and the US Constitution.

The Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution, was created to address concerns raised during the heated debates over the Constitution’s ratification in 1787–88. Drafted in response to Anti-Federalist objections, the Bill of Rights guarantees specific personal freedoms and rights, limits government powers in legal and other proceedings, and reserves all powers not explicitly granted to the federal government to the states or the people. These principles were influenced by earlier documents like the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), the Northwest Ordinance (1787), the English Bill of Rights (1689), and the Magna Carta (1215).

Representative James Madison, after examining the Constitution's perceived shortcomings highlighted by Anti-Federalists, played a key role in drafting the amendments. On September 25, 1789, Congress approved twelve proposed amendments and sent them to the states for ratification. Instead of incorporating them into the Constitution's main text, they were added as supplemental amendments. By December 15, 1791, Articles Three through Twelve were ratified, becoming Amendments One through Ten. Article Two was later ratified in 1992 as the Twenty-seventh Amendment, while Article One remains unratified.
