Looking for lyrics and information about the song and/or artist. The song is "Little Miss Mischief" that I remember my grandmother singing to me as a child. It goes something like this:
Little Miss Mischief, Little Miss Mischief won't you tell me why, every time I see you there's a twinkle in your eye...

I've done extensive web searching and come up with very very little.
Thanks!

Forget what I posted above; it's probably not the right song.

There is a complete mp3 file at Ken Sortedahl's Web Page. Here's my transcription:


LITTLE MISS MISCHIEF
Famous Lashua

1. Little Miss Mischief, Little Miss Mischief, won't you tell me why
Ev'ry time I see you there's a twinkle in your eye?
Little Miss Mischief, Little Miss Mischief, don't you realize
Ev'rything that's on your mind is showin' in your eyes?
You have too much fun to be just one. I think you must be twins,
But you look so sweet with your muddy feet, your little rag dolly and your bruised-up shins.
Little Miss Mischief, Little Miss Mischief, ev'rything you do
Reminds me of your mother. Little Miss Mischief, I love you.

2. There's a little girl at our house. She's our pride and joy.
She can think up more mischievous things. She should have been a boy.
Well, the very first thing in mornin' until the very last thing at night.
The wheels go around and around in her head until she's turning my hair white.

3. REPEAT 1.

Hello this song is a song written by my Grandfather about his daughter (my mother Melodee) it is posted on my brothers Website.

I am glad to see people still remember The Singing Cowboy Famous Lashua after all this time.
