蜘蛛歌

蜘蛛歌，童謠一首，民謠一首，作者不詳。依家版本，講隻蜘蛛上渠口，遇落雨畀水沖落來，日曬又乾咗，又爬上去，循環至停。一九〇九年，研討會講簡潔提到歌詞。一九一〇年北氏寫書，下加洲營與路。遊歷寫低歌詞，得知歌原屬經典，英文叫Spider Song。現今流行美國叫The Itsy Bitsy Spider，解微蜘蛛，英國叫The Incy Wincy Spider，亦解微蜘蛛。澳洲同英國一樣。呢兩個歌名出自開頭。可以用手指做動玩，唱遊一種。

早年版本並無講itsy-bitsy同incy-wincy微微，反而用blooming, bloody，意思極同極之，大大咁。改動或者同變成童謠有關，細細隻更加啱細蚊仔口味。

流行文化，好似電視電影，推動依支歌，令佢更之流行。

另一首Sweetly Sings the Donkey，驢唱得妙咁解。話喺日中休息，你唔餵佢，佢就會講，嘻呵嘻呵嘻呵嘻呵嘻呵。佢有德文版，亦有機會支曲來源。

早期

一九〇九年記錄

There was a blooming spider
Went up a blooming spout
And down came the rain
And washed the spider out
Out came the sun
And dried up all the rain
But that bloody blooming son of a gun
Went up that spout again

一九一〇年記錄

Oh, the blooming, bloody spider went up the spider web,
The blooming, bloody rain came down and washed the spider out,
The blooming, bloody sun came out and dried up all the rain,
And the blooming, bloody spider came up the web again.
