We also sang a song with a chorus that went “jump down turn around, pick a bale of cotton”

I grew up in suburban NYC and we sang almost all of these as well. Some others I remember:
Ol' Dan Tucker
lots of Halloween songs (I mostly only remember one that went: H-A-double L-O-double U-double E-N spells Halloween)

Well I had a little chicky
and it wouldn't lay an egg
so I poured hot water 
up and down it's leg
well my little chicky clucked
and my little chicky begged
and my little chicky laid me
a hard boiled egg

and there was another song to the same tune about trying to buy a donut with a nickel that had a hole in the middle. Not sure why we were singing songs about animal abuse and defacing money, but hey, it was the 80s. Our music teacher would bang out all the songs on her upright piano.
