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
