Subject: Songwriter Duo Bridges Generation Gap
I wrote a song with this little guy a few weeks back ... well OK, he didn;t have many lyrics to contribute, but his clapping hands and feet kept the rhthym going and his laughter made the lines rhyme and the humor roll!

This is one for the new Civil War collection:

Come Back Katy
Kevin, Benjamin and Brady
And the boys from Alabama
Know you're lookin for a mister
Better run and tell your sister
But don't you tell your mama
You know they look so fine
When they're marchin' in a line
And they dance even finer
Then the boys of Carolina
Come back Katy get your best dress on
The Bama boys in town

Come Back Katy
Kevin, Benjamin and Brady
Are the Alabama Wild Geese
They were born in Connemara
But they're leavin' town tomorrow
And they're gonna fight the Yankees
Gunna dance and sing
Make the whole town ring
Make a racket and a rattle
'fore we send 'em off to battle
Come back Katy get your best dress on
The Bama boys in town

Come Back Katy
Kevin, Benjamin and Brady
Siitin' out on my veranda
Sing the Shamrock and the Thistle
And they play it on the whsitle
To the fiddle and the banjer
Gonna make some noise
With the Alabama boys
Gonna dance 'til tomorrow
Like we never had a sorrow
Come back Katy get your best dress on
The Bama boys in town
