Ok, so why hasn't anyone TOLD me this was such a sad song?
And kind of mean, too.
Chloe wanted to learn the rest of the song + so,
looked it up to copy it down.
i'm realizing that i haven't been posting much work.
i do put out a good amount of work, but have not been throwing it up on the screen.
i reckon its been a bit real-life lately. i'll correct this oversight.
Soon.
Herring boxes without topses. Guess what's going to be in my head all day? It's all your fault.
ReplyDeleteI adore children's handwriting. I miss it so at the manor.
busy busy...that's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteits actually rather amazing if you take the time to read a lot fo the old kids songs what exactly they are saying...
ReplyDeleteSome of the folksongs and tales can e a little disturbing but they make us smile to listen to them... Hmm!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well? :)
Brian, I know what you mean... gruesome.-J
ReplyDeleteyeah, gruesome is the word! LOL! this is why we don't know the words!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a bit...or a lot of real life was going on in Clementine too!
ReplyDeletejayne, it seems like a lot of trusty old songs are like this... my mother used to sing 'oh what a pal was mary' and 'you are my sunshine' to us when we were in the bathtub. both of them are so sad!! i remember thinking at the time that they didn't *feel* like happy songs... actually, 'darling clementine' kinda has that same feeling (now that i think about it)...
ReplyDeleteit's that old notion that we should all feel bad for someone and better about ourselves at the same time.
ReplyDeleteweird to be sure.
Lord! That Song Reminds me of my Infant School days!
