Thread Name: New words for the 12 days of Christmas
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!

enjoy!
