Subject: Lyr Req: Happy Frisky Jim
Hi, My grandfather sang a song to us when we were very young. He died in 1939 and the best my brother and I can remember, the words go something like this:

I'm my daddy's oldest son, me and brother Jim.
My brother's twice as old as me,
So we're twins you can plainly see.
Obadiah, don't ya come nigh me,
Like a kite, you gotta come and fly me;
Can't sit still, you have ta come and tie me,
Happy Frisky Jim.------

That's all we can remember. "Pappy" would play the piano, pat his foot, and sing away. We kids would sing along; but now, we can't remember anymore of the words.

I would love to hear from anyone who may be familiar with this old song.

Thanks, Jinx Christie Duke, Augusta, GA
