Subject: RE: Origins: Git Along Little Dogies
There is what I thought was a Welsh song..
I am a young man from the town of Kiandra
I married a woman to comfort my home
She goes off and she leaves me and cruaely deceives me
And leaves me with a baby that's none of my own
Oh how I rue the day ever I married
With a weeping and wailing and rocking the cradle
And rocking the baby that's none of my own
Doesn't reallhy sound Welsh...oh well...
But there is a song between this one and the little dogies one that shows the connection perfectly. John Bartlett sings it
There is one verse to dogies that was commonly written..that would anot be sung today..you'll b e beef heap beef for Uncle Sam's "Injuns"..
