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.
