Thread Name: Lyr Req: Red Sombrero (from Singing Together)
Subject: Lyr Add: RED SOMBRERO (Peter Hutchings)
I didn't put this one up on the 'folkinfo' site because it had a named writer and we wanted to minimise copyright issues. I do have a copy of it, though, and the lyrics are as follows:

RED SOMBRERO
(Peter Hutchings)

I wear a red sombrero,
It is a big sombrero.
I only wear it
Because the sunshine
Gets in my eyes and I cannot see at all.

I have a little donkey,
He is a happy donkey.
He always takes me
Into the market
When I go shopping
To buy some food and wine.

I have a stripey blanket,
It is a coloured blanket.
It keeps me nice and
Warm in the night time
When I am sleeping
Under the silver moon.

I wear a red sombrero,
It is a big sombrero.
I only wear it
Because the sunshine
Gets in my eyes and I cannot see at all.
My sombrero is the biggest hat in the world.
