There was a farmer who had a dog, And Bingo was his name-o. (clap) In this case the clause refers to the second person/dog who could be named. If it was the farmer, the line would show the name after the farmers name, such as.
There was a farmer, Bingo was his name, and he had a dog. Wouldn't be a very good song to sing and clap to would it?

Exactly--from an old English teacher.

Holy Cow...now my head is really spinning and I'm still trying to figure out why there are a different number of hotdogs in a package than there are buns!

Not to throw a monkey wrench into the the excellent discussion of grammar, but according to several unknown and unpublished texts, it appears the farmerâs name was Byng Oliver MacDonaldnaill (the ânaillâ being silent in the Anglicised version). Named after the unfortunate Admiral, in 1757 he started using Bing instead of Byng.
He also switched to MacDonald, since everyone thought that was his real name.
In his later years, his legendary skills as a farmer were immortalized in the childrenâs song âOld MacDonaldâ, based on the DâUrfey song from 1719.
It is a lesser known fact that, in an effort to earn more in Royalties, the verse about dogs on the MacDonald farm was spun off as a separate song in the 1780âs.
To make the spun-off song much shorter and more suitable to sing at childrenâs parties, by January 3rd 1829, the verse âBing Oliver MacDonald was his name-oâ was shortened to âBing O. was his name-oâ. By March of 1829 the verse had been corrupted to âBingo was his name-oâ.
Hope you enjoyed this.
