Subject: RE: New words for the 12 days of Christmas
ok i found the bluegrass version... 1 Plot beneath the Weepin' Willow Tree 2 Bluebirds singing 3 Mac Wiseman's 4 Salty dogs a-barkin' 5 banjer strings 6 white horses treadin' 7 snakes a dreadin' 8 hot biscuits a-risin' 9 poundin' hammers 10 brooks a-flyin' 11 earls a-pickin' 12 colonel finger lickin'
i do not know who did this.. i caught it on paper just by luck--i was stuck in traffic by a toll booth on a bridge by san francisco..and was able to scribble down the whole thing on an envelope while traffic was stalled. of course it does not hurt that many of the verses were repeated often!
