From: Bill Foster Following a performance a week or so ago, an older gentleman who was in the audience asked me if I had heard an old song by the name of "tweedle-o-twill," which his grandmother sang to him. I gathered that these words were part of a refrain, but I was stumped; nobody in my family sang such a song. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? |

TWEEDLE-O-TWILL – Recorded by Gene Autry – Written by Fred Rose and Gene Autry Tweedle-o-twill, puffin' on corn silk Tweedle-o-twill, whittlin' wood Settin' there wishin' - he could go fishin' Over the hill, Tweedle-o-twill. Tweedle-o-twill, don't he look drowsy Tweedle-o-twill, noddin' his head Bet he feels lazy - pluckin' that daisy Gettin' a thrill, oh, Tweedle-o-twill. Tweedle-o-twill, bobbin' and weavin' Tweedle-o-twill, wadin' in corn Takin' it easy - out where its breezy Better be still, oh, Tweedle-o-twill. Tweedle-o-twill, swattin' a horsefly Tweedle-o-twill, pickin' his nose Birds of a feather - flockin' together

Tweedle-o-twill, swattin' a horsefly Tweedle-o-twill, pickin' his nose Birds of a feather - flockin' together Gettin' a thrill, oh, Tweedle-o-twill.
