RE: [Cz-L] Other popular Yiddish children's songs

My father used to sing that song. I remember that every thing the shepherd
saw he thought that there were the bones of the lamb or some other part.
Every one he met on his way he asked " Adowwony, adowwony, perhaps have you
seen my lamb (in Idish of coarse). And as well: nima nishtu bida bidu ayak
zje ya damoi predu. I did not hear that for more than forty years. Asher

Another Yiddish song almost as popular as "Oyfen Pripetchik",
was "Es is gevein a mul a pastachl"

The words are:

Es is gevein a mul a pastachl, a pastachl
is im verloiren gegangen zein ein-einzig sheyfale
zoogt er: Adoyny, Adoyny, mein sheyfale, mein sheyfale,
nema, neshtu, nema, neshtu, yak sze yak, damoy paidyu?
 
Another song similar to "Oyfen Pripetchik", in the sense
of being about children learning, was about children sitting
in the shade of a tree and being taught. All I can remember now,
is that instead of being referred to as children or boys,
the song refers to them as "Moishalech, Shloymalech".

Does anyone remember such a song?

And of course all of us were at some point sung to sleep with
"Roszinkes und mandlen".
I have recently sung it to my newborn grandson when he was screaming
so loudly you could hear him in Strojinetz and he quieted down and
peacefully went to sleep.
