I think everyone should have a "Annie" tucked away in a corner somewhere of every house in the world 
What would we do without our Annie

I never heard of Mexican Joe before, but we used to have a playground skipping song:
Cowboy Joe from Mexico
Hands up, stick em up, drop your gun and pick it up
And out you go
You did the 'hands up' etc actions when it was your turn in the rope

Didn't have you down as a skipper Migky - man of many talents I see
I had a look to see if anyone knew the origin of the 'Cowboy Joe' rhyme, in case the skipping song turned out to be about Mexican Joe's wild west show - couldn't find anything though.
Must not get sidetracked into skipping songs! 
Mexican Joe doesn't get such a good press as Buffalo Bill though does he? Bit sad to think of his show going bust in Barnsley... sounds very cold and miserable http://www.tnais.com/bbis/mj.html

A big hello to Migky,
How you doing my friend? loads of somersaulting smileys
And poor old Annie, what a deprived childhood, no skipping song. Probably couldn't remember the words, I mean Mexican has at least 7 letters
I know a descendant of those North American Indians, she is beautiful, and when you hear her story, you can see her immediately for who she is.
Love you all my friends, and apologies for being AWOL, but I'm back now, well at least for a few hours, who knows what tomorrow might bring
How

You're probably right Tony !! ... never even heard of a Mexican till I came to America !!
Off topic ... but it's my thread ....... 
All in together girls
Never mind the weather girls
When I call your birthday
You must jump in.
January, February
March, April, May, June,
July, August, September,
October, November, December!
*********************
I'm a little Dutch girl
Dressed in blue.
Here are the things
I like to do:
Salute to the captain,
Bow to the queen,
Turn my back
On the submarine.
I can do the tap dance,
I can do the split,
I can do the hokey pokey
Just like this.

I laughed when I saw this ....
"Bill probably went to the Indian reservations himself to sign up the Indians for his show that year. That these "sign up" days were great occasions in the lives of the Indians is evident from a description attributed to Death Valley Scotty:
The ceremony of selecting the Indians for the show became an annual spring affair, and when he could Cody selected the lucky individuals himself. The Indians, five or six hundred of them, would come to Rushville (a Nebraska town near the South Dakota border) where the selections were made, and they came in their finest buckskins, feathers, and beads. They were quite a sight in their grand finery. Only a small part of that number could be used, and the ones not chosen felt pretty bad about it. The government required the Colonel, or his representative, to post bonds that the Indians would be well fed while away and that they would be returned to the reservation in good health and a new suit of clothes.16"
"C.D. O'Kieffe, who lived in the area in the eighties, said, "I'll never forget seeing Buffalo Bill come each spring to get his braves. They left in paint and feathers and returned, after a year, in Prince Albert coats, Stetsons, patent leather shoes and long, well-groomed glossy hair."17" [Yost. Buffalo Bill, Chicago, p. 143]
