Thanks Kat, Susan, Sorcha and Harpgirl! The $5 (or is it $45?) is "in the mail...." :-D

Here's the lyrics to the other song I've entered...

MINNESOTA AUTUMN
Words and Music by Al Boyce

When autumn leaves start to fall
Old Jack Frost soon will come to call
Kids outside are havin' a ball
You know that winter's nigh
Pumpkin patches, starry nights
Jack O'Lanterns big and bright
Kids in costume, scary fright
Summer's said goodbye

Chorus:
'Cause Fall has come and summer's done
It's a Minnesota Autumn
And Winter's near, for another year
It's a Minnesota Autumn

Hayrides, chocolate, weiners too
'Round the fireplace close to you
Cheeks all shades of rosy hues
Shades of brown and gold
Jackets, mittens, cozy caps on
Children play with woolen wraps on
Chilling winds fill open gaps
Down forest paths so cold

Time for raking up the leaves
Farmers bringing in the sheaves
Frosted windows, Autumn heaves
A heavy-hearted sigh
All too soon the snow's upon us
Mournful death of young Adonis
Sun goes down, Autumn's gone
We sadly say goodbye
