Three Little Ducks

My husband has been singing a version of this song lately. Except that his version goes something like:

One little duck with one feather on his back.
He ruled the ducks with a “Quack, quack, quack.”

Three little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said
” Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But only two little ducks came back.

Two little ducks
Went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said
” Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But only one little duck came back.

One little duck
Went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Mother duck said
” Quack, quack, quack, quack.”
But none of the three little ducks came back.

Sad mother duck
Went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Sad mother duck said
” Quack, quack, quack.”
And all of the three little ducks came back.

All of the three little ducks came back

Here is another version…

Six Little Ducks
Source: Step by Step CC

Six little ducks that I once knew
Fat ones, skinny ones, fair ones, too
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Down to the river they would go
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, to and fro
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Back from the river they would come
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wobble, ho, hum, hum
But the one little duck with the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.

And from NIH, I found the version that is closest to my husband’s version. They even have a sound bite of the tune.

Five little ducks went to play
Wibble wobble, wibble wobble to and fro
But the one little duck
With the feather on his back
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack.
