Leetle Bateese! Off on de fiel' you foller de plough Den w'en you're tire you scare de cow Sickin' de dog till dey jomp de wall So de milk ain't good for not'ing at all– An' you're only five an' a half dis fall, Leetle Bateese! Too sleepy for sayin' de prayer to-night? Never min', I s'pose it'll be all right Say dem to-morrow–ah! der he go! Fas' asleep in a minute or so– An' he'll stay lak dat till de rooster crow, Leetle Bateese! Den wake us up right away toute suite Lookin' for somet'ing more to eat, Makin' me t'ink of dem long leg crane Soon as dey swaller, dey start again I wonder your stomach don't get no pain, Leetle Bateese! But see heem now lyin' dere in bed, Look at de arm onderneat' hees head; If he grow lak dat till he's twenty year I bet he'll be stronger dan Louis Cyr An' beat all de voyageurs leevin' here, Leetle Bateese! Jus' feel de muscle along hees back, Won't geev' heem moche bodder for carry pack On de long portage, any size canoe, Dere's not many t'ing dat boy won't do For he's got double-joint on hees body too, Leetle Bateese! But leetle Bateese! please don't forget We rader you're stayin' de small boy yet, So chase de chicken an' mak' dem scare An' do w'at you lak wit' your ole gran'pere For w'en you're beeg feller he won't be dere– Leetle Bateese! |

27 Aug 09 - 09:09 PM (#2710300) Subject: RE: C/D Sales on Highway From: frogprince At least a couple of people, or groups, around here sing "The Wreck of the Julie Plante"; I don't remember if I've heard it attributed to Drummond. And re Bruce's observation about a "good-lookin' gal who can cook like no one's business": You can't go wrong if you marry a Judy Anne Smith!! Dean |
27 Aug 09 - 09:37 PM (#2710317) Subject: RE: C/D Sales on Highway From: Beer What Dean is saying here is that his wife and mine have all the same handles. Brother Norm left this morning I think and should be here when ever. If he is back by tomorrow evening he may get a chance to play a little music at a school house of old. There will be a gathering of 20 to 30 musicians (mostly fiddles) which I'm sure he and his partner will appreciate. Adrien |
