Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Moanish Lady
Subject: ADD Version: The Moanish Lady
MOANISH LADY!

There was a moanish lady
Lived in a moanish land,
She had a moanish daughter,
Who could moan at the Lord's command.

Chorus:
Moanish lady, and you shall be free!
Moanish honey, and you shall be free!
When the good Lord calls you home.

The only recording of this song that I found was by Sandburg - 43 seconds!
