Five Little Ducks | Traditional Folk Song | Banjo

Five Little Ducks is a traditional children`s folk song for of all ages. I sing and play it on the mountain banjo in the clawhammer style and give a short heartwarming moral to the story at the end.

Five Little Ducks lyrics

Five little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mommy duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But only four little ducks came back.

Four little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mommy duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But only three little ducks came back.

Three little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mommy duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But only two little ducks came back.

Two little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mommy duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But only one little duck came back.

One little duck went swimming one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Mommy duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
But no little ducks came swimming back.

No little ducks went swimming one day,
Over the hills and far away.
Daddy duck said: "Quack, quack, quack, quack."
And all the five little ducks came back.
