Thread Name: Lyr Req: Aunt Martha's Sheep (Newfoundland)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Aunt Marthas Sheep - Newfoundland
Thanks to Jim Dixon for the Lyrics of "You can't Fool a Newfoundlander". As a sheep farmer, I absolutely refuse to sing Dick Nolan's wonderfuls song Aunt Martha's sheep. Sing that song to a bunch 'o drinkers, and it will come back to haunt us poor shepherds. I always figgered someone had to be real dense to not know the difference between the taste of Moose and Mutton. Would any mainlanders confuse beef with chicken? Thanks to this thread you have given me alternative lyrics to offer with this popular tune. Just like Abraham's not having to sacrifice Isaac, thanks to a Ram stuck in the thorns, now I don't have to put my mutton up for sacrifice at the request of this tune!
