Description: Sticks and stones will break my bones, I always will be true And when your mama's dead and gone, I'll sing this lullaby just for you And what becomes of all the little boys, who never comb their hair They're lined up all around the block, on the Nickel over there So better bring a bucket, there's a hole in the pail And if you don't get my letter, then you'll know that I'm in jail And what becomes of all the little boys, who never say their prayers They're sleepin' like a baby, on the Nickel over there And if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star You'll find out where the scarecrows sit, just like punch lines between the cars And I know a place where a royal flush can never beat a pair And even Thomas Jefferson is on the Nickel over there So ring around the rosy, sleepin' in the rain And you're always late for supper, man you let me down, let me down again And I thought I heard a mockingbird, Roosevelt knows where You can skip the light with Grady Tuck, on the Nickel over there So what becomes of all the little boys, who run away from home The world just keeps gettin' bigger once you get out on your own So here's to all the little boys, the sandman takes you where You're sleepin' with a pillow man, on the Nickel over there So climb up through that button hole and fall right up the stairs And I'll show you where the short dogs grow, on the Nickel Over there

kenrubes ::: Favorites I agree. It's my fav version too.....it's a real tempo-sensitive tune, and this speed seems to best fit the song. 07-10-12 02:28:45 __________________________________________________
