Last summer while I was with my family in Utah. My little nephew James started singing this song. When he started singing it it brought back a memory of my dad that I had never remembered before. Then he told me that his dad (my brother Drew) would sing it to him, and he said that Drew had told him that his dad (my dad) had sung it to him when he was a little boy. I was so excited to have this little piece of my dad that I could have and remember, so, I asked James to teach me the song. Although I have the tune down, I have somewhat forgotten and mumbled the words that he taught me. So, today I Google searched the song and only one thing came up for it. Song artists Sarita and Schroeder sing "Terio Day" on an album made for children. After listening to her version of the song it didn't sound quite like I remembered it, maybe you Hoopes siblings could help me out. Are these lyrics the right ones for the song "Sing Terio Day"?
Oh once I had a little dog, its color it was brown.
I taught him how to whistle, singin down san drawl?
His legs they were 14 yards long, his ears so very wide,
around the world in half a day upon him I could ride
Sing terio day, sing autumn to may.
Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red.
He leaned upon a silver cane, top head on his head
and he speak of far off places, things to see and do.
All the kings and queens he met were sailing in a shoe.
Sing terio day sing autumn to may.
I don't know why this is so important to me, but I really want to remember this song. I was so little when my dad passed away, I have to cling on to the few memories I get here and there of him. Does anyone else know this song??
