Thread Name: Lyr Req: Big Brown Bear (Mana-Zucca)
Subject: Lyr req, Welsh, Big Brown Bear song
I am 55 years old and when I was a boy, my father used to sing a song to us that his grandfather sang to him as a boy. That was my Great grandfather Bashline. I remember him, he lived into his 90's. The song, I believe, was a Welsh lullaby, Some lyrics I remember are "I chanced upon a big, brown, bear. A big brown bear was he." " and all he said was woof". The problem is, for most of my father's life, he could not remember one line in the song. He mentioned it to me the other day. He is 80 years old now and it would be nice to complete his song lyrics for his peace of mind and for our family heritage. Can anyone help? Thanks, Dale
