GUEST,Granddaughter Emily Lyr Req: While the organ peeled potatoes... (81* d) RE: Lyr Req: While the organ peeled potatoes... 07 Mar 12


Oh my gosh!!! My Grandma taught this to me when i was young!!! I recite it to my children now ive always wondered if i had it even close THANK YOU!!!

Twas a sweet day in September,
Last October in July;
The sun lay thick upon the ground,
The mud shown in the sky.

The flowers were singing sweetly,
The birds were full of bloom,
As I went into the cellar
To sweep an upstairs room.

The time was Tuesday morning,
On Wednesday just at night;
I saw a thousand miles away
A house just out of sight.

The walls projected backwards,
The front was round the back;
As I stood alone with others,
The fence was whitewashed black.


She used to also sing:
As the organist peeled bananas
Lard was rendered by the choir
While the sexton rang the dishrag
Some one set the church on fire.
HOLY SMOKES the preacher shouted!
As his wig flew in the air
Now his head resembles heaven
-for there is no parting there.

I miss her everyday. Thank you for the memories!
