OK, so I am a little late on this subject. I too grew up in Miami in the 50s and my Mom used to sing us the line "where the children used to roam". I loved it. I always felt something was wrong because it didn't rhyme. ANy Idea where the Miami varient came from or di I have to order the sheet music to find out?
