CD07-29: Inje, Song for Dandling Baby Left and Right

(Inje, Gangwon Province/ Choi, Pil-nyeo(78yrs)/ 1994)

◆ Sung while helping the baby to practise walking by holding him under his armpits to make him stand up. This also had the effect of making the baby's legs stronger while playing with him. Taking note of the fact that it keeps moving left and right regularly while working on the bellows, song for working the bellow is sung in this situation.

(Content of Song)
“Soound of the bellows is heard
The blacksmith is Mr. Kim from the neighboring town
His wage is five sacks of crop
The iron is from Jaeryeong
What do you want me to make?
I want you to make a gimlet
Pound and heat it in the fire and then soak it in water”
