Heard at Scout camp (1960s) "Father Abraham had seven sons, Seven sons had Father Abraham, And they didn't eat And they didn't sleep And they had an awful time." This may have been sung repetitively, with the 'right arm, left arm' additions, but memory is sparing ;) Possibly heard at a Dutch campfire as out Troop camped in the Netherlands every 2 or 3 years back then. In which case it might have been a translation for our benefit.
