03 May 10 - 10:02 PM (#2899508) Subject: RE: songs for may From: open mike there is a song from an old cartoon that goes "I was walking thru the park one day in the merry, merry month of may when i was taken by surprise by a pair of (roving?) eyes.... but the best song that has May in it is the Soldier and the Lady, or the fiddling soldier, the bold grenadier, the brave volunteer, a.k.a. One Morning in May...as first heard from James Taylor (possibly learned from Jim Rooney) http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=3646 it starts : One morning, one morning, one morning in May, I spied a young couple; they were making their way... and the chorus goes: Just to see the waters gliding and hear the nightingale sing. |

03 May 10 - 10:10 PM (#2899514) Subject: LYR ADD - Alan Sherman "Don't buy the Liverwurst" From: Sandra in Sydney great version, Gerry! Gerry sang that song last year at my folk club - on the Twenty-Third of May! This is Allan Sherman's parody of "Down By The Riverside" called "Don't Buy The Liverwurst." "When you go to the delicatessen store, Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. I repeat what I just said before, Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. Oh buy the corned beef if you must, The pickled herring you can trust, And the lox puts you in orbit A-OK. But that big hunk of liverwurst Has been there since October First, And today is the Twenty-Third of May. So when you go to the delicatessen store, Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst. It'll make your insides awful sore. Don't buy the liverwurst. Don't buy the liverwurst." |

It's sounds like Shirley singing, though. Come ye young men, come along With your music, dance and song Bring your lasses in your hands For tis that which love commands Then to the Maypole haste away For 'tis now our holiday It is the choice time of the year For the violets now appear Now the rose receives its birth And the pretty primrose decks the earth Here each bachelor may choose One that will not faith abuse Nor repay, with coy disdain Love that should be loved again And when you well reckoned have What kisses you your sweetheart gave Take them all again, and more It will never make them poor When you thus have spent your time And the day be past its prime To your beds repair at night And dream there of your day's delight |

In a moment my poor heart was stole away! A smile was all she gave to me. (whistle) Of course we were as happy as could be. (whistle) I immediately raised my hat, and finally she remarked, "I never shall forget the Sunday afternoon I met you at the fountain in the park." |
