One of the best of the Folk era groups...They were liberal leftist in message, however the music was universal. They had many hit records and continued to tour for many years into the modern era. The recent death of Mary has ended the group, but their music will remain as their legacy.
Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Verse 1] CBmCD Oh, once I had a little dog, his color it was brown, CBmCD I taught him how to whistle, to sing and dance and run. GEmBmGEm His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide, GEmBmCD Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.
[Chorus] GCDEmCD Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
[Verse 2] CBmCD Oh, once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red, CBmCD He leaned upon a silver cane, a top hat on his head. GEmBmGEm He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do, GEmBmCD And all the kings and queens he'd met, while sailing in a shoe.
[Chorus] GCDEmCD Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
[Verse 3] CBmCD Oh, once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather. CBmCD I'd keep them in a music box from wind and rainy weather. GEmBmGEm And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town GEmBmCD To bring me back some golden rings, and candy by the pound.
[Chorus] GCDEmCD Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May.
[Verse 4] CBmCD Oh, once I had a downy swan, she was so very frail, CBmCD She sat upon an oyster shell, and hatched me out a snail. GEmBmGEm The snail it changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly, GEmBmCD And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.
[Chorus] GCDEmCD Sing tarry-o day, Sing Autumn to May. # # Submitted to the ftp.nevada.edu:/pub/guitar archives # by Steve Putz # 7 September 1992
