Lyrics
Who’s that tapping at the window?
Who’s that knocking at the door?
Mammy tapping at the window?
Pappy knowing at the door?

Could I please use your link for a copy of the song “Who’s That Tapping at the Window” for music teachers to look at your site to refer to this song for a lesson plan. I am writing curriculum for the Ministry of Education of Ontario in conjonction with the Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, Ontario Canada. There is no monies made from this. It is a project to help preserve Islamic culture and I am using this song to show dynamics. If I cannot, my lead writer will have to write out a copy of this folksong on her music program. Thank you and I await your response.
Yes, go ahead! Please attribute the work to bethsnotes.com when you write the curriculum. :0
