Way down yonder in the paw paw patch.
(2) Come on boys, let's go find her
Way down yonder...etc.
(3) Pickin' up paw paws, puttin' 'em in a basket
Way down yonder...etc.

This can be played in the 4 - 7 range as well.
A paw-paw is a subtropical fruit (asimina triloba)
which, when we were children, were plentiful in our
area. It grows on a small tree/shrub as a wild
plant. The fruit are small, oblong to pear-shaped with
the flavor resembling both apple and banana.
