Subject: RE: Help: St Ann's Reel From: Jeremiah McCaw Date: 17 Aug 09 - 11:03 AM On the lighter side, here's a lyric from 'Stompin' Tom Connors ST. ANNE'S SONG AND REEL "Stompin'" Tom Connors I was livin' in the city where you never get to know why they never play a fiddle on the radio Then one day I met a country girl and now I'm a -livin' in another world Up and to the barn dance we did go, swing your honey and you doh-se-doh Fiddle up a little bit of St. Ann's Reel, promenade her home and you click your heels A little sip of cider wouldn't do her any harm when you take her for a hayride on the farm Make that country girl your wife and you'll be happy all your life Pick a little guitar, sing a little song, Gran' ma got the old man steppin' right along Do a little kissin' if you get a little chance when you do a little swingin' at the Old Barn Dance The little dog chewin' on the old man's pipe and the old man chewin' at the dog all night Where did the caller's hair-piece go? It's hangin' on the end of the fiddler's bow Have another corn-cob, yellow and big, clap your hands now and do a little jig Swing your honey all around the hall, promenade her home now and that'll be all. Note: the vocal follows the form of one "A" part followed by one "B" part. The instrumental part follows the conventional A A B B form |
