On Top of Old Smokey & Spaghetti Too!

This is a song I hung almost daily but usually only get to the first of verse because I don't know the rest of the lyrics. And I generally start with the Old Smokey song and end up in the spaghetti song. I never knew why until just now. I don't think I have EVER heard all of the lyrics to On Top of Old Smokey.

I just picked up L'il C from school (saddened by having to emerge from the warm covers so early this morning) and we were singing the song as she played the recorder haphazardly in the back seat. Since neither of us knew all of the lyrics to either I decided to look them up.

I was cracking up at the actual words to On Top of Old Smokey. They were nothing like I thought they would be.

Never heard the lyrics to Old Smokey but played the music in one of my level 2 or 3 piano books (nice!).

Heard half of the spaghetti one. :)

Good memories, good times.
