Hallo all I need a lyric and its called " The Little Shirt ( me mother made for me ) ". I have this song from cd ( Irish one ) called Diarmuid O´Leary and the Bards 1980-1990. There are more good songs on this cd.

By the way the title of this thread is a good name for a song?.

All the best skarpi Iceland.

THE LITTLE SHIRT MY MOTHER MADE FOR ME
Recorded by Marty Robbins
Written by Harry Wincott

[D] I can't forget the day that I was [A7] born
Was on a cold and frosty winter's [D] morn'
The doctor said I was a chubby [A7] chap
But [E] when the nurse, she took me on her [A7] lap
She [G] washed me all over I re-[D] member
And [G] after powder-puffin' me, you [D] see
She laid me in the [D7] cradle by the [G] window
In The [A7] Little Shirt My Mother Made For [G] Me.

When I began to crawl it was a sight
I used to frighten mom from morn' til night
There's no mistake I was a lttle curse
'Cause when my daddy, he came home from work
Every night he would say; "Where's Little Sam got?"
As down the kitchen, happy as could be
They used to find me scrapin' out the jam pot
In The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me.

The first day that I wore my Knickerbocks
I felt so funny after wearin' smocks
I looked a little picture, they did say
But when they let me out to run and play
Well, I didn't like the britches I was wearin'
And in the street I took 'em off, you see
I started walkin' home so bold and darin'
In The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me.

Last year when I was on my holiday
Upon the briny ocean I did gaze
The water looked so nice I thought I'd go
To have a swim, but, in a minute, oh
All the girls along the beach at me were starin'
And some were takin' pictures, I could see
Was a good thing for me that I was wearin'
The Little Shirt My Mother Made For Me.

To the tune of Mary had a little lamb

Skarpi needs a little help
little help, Little help
skarpi needs a little help
because he's in a jam!

Skarpi did look everywhere

A'lookin' for a song.

So he wrote a song about gas power stations,
gas power stations, gas power stations.
He wrote a song about gas power stations,
and brought the government down.

I wish I could write a song like that!

Have a go Skarpi.
