Tribute to Burl Ives Medley.
When I was young I use to wait
Upon my master, and hand him his plate.
I'd pass the bottle when he got dry,
And brush away the blue tail fly! (Chorus)
_________________________________________________________
CHORUS:
Jimmy crack corn, and I don't care! (3x)
My master's gone away!
_________________________________________________________
And when he'd ride in the afternoon
I'd follow him with a hickory broom.
That Pony being rather shy,
When bitten by the blue tail fly! (Chorus)
**********************************************************
On top of Old Smokey,
All covered with snow,
I lost my true lover,
Acccording to slow.
________________________________________________________
According's a pleasure,
And flirting's a grief;
But a false hearted lover
Is worse than a theif.

On a summer day
In the month of May
A burly bum came hiking
Down a shady lane
Through the sugar cane
He was looking for his liking
As he roamed along
He sang a song
Of the land of milk and honey
Where a bum can stay
For many a day
And he won't need any money.
CHORUS:
Oh the buzzin' of the bees
In the cigarette trees
Near the soda water fountain
At the lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
On the big rock candy mountain.
(repeat chorus)
***********************************************************
One fine day in early spring I played a funny trick
Right in the yard behind our hourse,
I planted a lollipop stick.
Then every day I watered it well and watched it carefully
I hoped one day that stick would grow
to be a lollipop tree.
Ah ha ha, Oh ho ho,
what a place to be
Under my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli, lollipop tree.
Ah ha ha, Oh ho ho,
what a place to be
Under my lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lolli, lolli, lollipop tree.
***********************************************************
Down in the valley,
Valley so low.
Late in the evening,
Hear the wind blow.
CHORUS:
Hear the wind blow dear,
Hear the wind blow.
Late in the evening,
Hear the blow.
(repeat chorus)
