Fiddle 2 (Mon) Week 5

Hi Class of ’09!

Here’s our recording of This Land is Your Land…

And here are the lyrics to You Are My Sunshine

(G)You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me (C) happy, when skies are (G)grey.
You’ll never (C) know, dear, how much I (G) love you
Please don’t take my (D) sunshine (G)away

The other night, dear, As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke,dear, I was mistaken
It was only a pig from the barn

I’ll always love you, and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You’ll regret it all some day

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you’ve left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

Louisiana, my Louisiana, the place where I was born
White fields of cotton–green fields of clover
the best fishing and long tall corn

Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane
the finest oysters and sweet strawberries
from toledo bend to new orleans

And listen to Oh Susanna on the tune archive, it’s a good one to know!
