Subject: Title?: Sing, terry all day. Sing Autum From: GUEST,H Pacheco Date: 19 Apr 00 - 02:45 PM Help. I need to find a recording of a song my father sang to me as a child in the 70s. The refrain was: "Sing terry all day. Sing, autumn to May." The song started: "Once I had a little frog who wore a vest of red. ...[something] a walking cane a tophat on his head..." The very end went: "...and he tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie." |

Subject: RE: Title?: Sing, terry all day. Sing Autum From: Gary T Date: 19 Apr 00 - 05:08 PM Just a detail note, that might help the song make more sense--the lyric is "sing, tarry all day", "tarry" meaning to linger or dawdle. |
Subject: Autumn to May From: Joe Offer Date: 19 Apr 00 - 05:50 PM Oh, ye of little faith, Allan! Peter, Paul and Mary are at http://www.peterpaulandmary.com/, dontchaknow. The song is here (click). Or, I suppose one could look in the Digital Tradition. The song is a version of LITTLE BROWN DOG. -Joe Offer, who hasn't lost his touch- |
