edits.

A few quick edits on earlier posts:

1. Outcome: For all you sticklers, according to mom it's not charoset if you don't use the wine...but, it still makes one heckavu tastastic compote.

2. A Preliminary Note: Given below are the correct lyrics for "We Are Three Bums" provided by grandpa. You'll notice that a) the lyric I thought was wrong is actually right and b) there is, in fact, no mention of "three jolly good bums"... oh the irony.

We are three bums we jolly go bums,
We live like royal Turks.....
We rush the duck like any old muck and the hell with the guy that works.
We met a man the other night,
We never met before....
He asked us if we wanted a job shoveling iron ore,
We asked of him his wages he said 90 cents a ton...
We said to him the hell with the job, we'd rather be a bum
Riding on the rail-road...tra-la-la-la hey-day,
Never saw a payday, tra-la-la-la......

I first heard this little song or at least a version of it when I was about six years old about 1940. My Mom's Sister used to sing this to me when she was taking care of me while my Parents worked.
I am really happy to find the correct lyrics to this happy little ditty.
Do you happen to know when this was written and by whom? I would appreciate knowing.
Thank You, Jack Hyatt

Hi Jack,

I love this tune, too.

Unfortunately, I don't know when it was written or who wrote it, but I'll ask my grandpa and see if he has any insight.

Thanks for visiting!

Also, it could only require a little over three years to complete.
Finding the right massage therapist can sometimes be
a tough search. Whether your goal is weight loss, fitness,
overall good health, or proper nutrition, the modern physical therapist is
qualified to conduct an overall health evaluation so
they can customize a program that is appropriate for your current health status.
