about

These lyrics were written in 1884 by Charles Edward Carryl. When Shawn encountered them, he thought they would make a fine song, so he wrote this melody for them. Later, he discovered that a tune had already existed... we like his better!

The tunes that follow - both given to Chad by his grandfather - are:
Michael Coleman's
The Absent Minded Woman
