~SONGS~

Umm I suddenly started singing-
"Here we sits like birds in the wilderness ,
birds in the wilderness,
birds in the wilderness.
Here we sits like birds in the wilderness
down in Demerara "
Something we used to be made to sing in school when I was about
8.
What on earth was that all about? LOL
I didn't know then, and I don't know now!! :o
The one I did like was-
'Twas on a Monday morning
When I beheld my darling,
She looked so neat and charming
In ev'ry high degree.
She looked so neat and nimble, O,
A-washing of her linen, O,
Dashing away with the smoothing iron,
She stole my heart away.
I am glad my days of dashing away with the smoothing iron, are
behind me!! As is 'doing the sheets' in the bath tub, as we had
no washing machine 'back then'.
Now I am singing many of the old school songs...half of them I
still don't undertand!!! LOL

^ I tried to find out. It appears to be about a man with a sick
horse? But no one seems to know really what it's about.

They sang it in a Lord Peter Wimsey book. . . .

We had a book with old songs in it when I went to school. I'm
guessing it was because they didn't have to pay for copyrights.
So I learned songs like, My Little Margie -- now you have me
doing it. Goodness, this song was popular in 1921, long before
I was born!

Then there was Gallagher and Shean. My favorite line was "the
cost of living went so high, it's cheaper now to die."

Goodness me, even I am not that old either. LOL ( not born until
1942)
I did here Flanagan & Allen...saw them on stage, but they were
as old as dirt by then.
Maybe you wouldn't 'know' all their songs...as things didn't
"come across the water" back then as they do now.

That's probably because sometimes the links given for the videos
don't work and sometimes they do. That's just the way it is with
youtube. When they don't, I usually go try to find another link
that does work. In this case the links did work. :)
