Kayleegator Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Found recently by my DH on his autoharp player's list... I'd love to hear the tune! "Border Collie Blues" by Catherine Britell Copyright 2007, Larkpoint Music Well, I woke up this morning, everything hurt Coffee pot was dirty, didn't have a clean shirt. Flea bites all over, shouldna slept with that dog, World is cold and damp, shrouded in fog But I got my collie buddy sittin' here next to me, And we're gonna have some fun, just wait, just wait and see. Got the border collie blues (X2) The border collie, jolly jolly border collie blues. (Again) But I'm happy, happy, happy, 'cause I got my collie buddy right heeeere. Well, we've got a tennis ball, it's really quite old Squishy, and slimy, smells a lot like mold But I take it along, pull it out of my pocket, he sez, "Chukit, mama, chukit, mama, chukit, chukit, chukit!" Now my arm's in a sling, rotator cuff 'cause that black and white dynamo, he never gets enough. (chorus) Well, we're both gettin' on, he's 13 years old, Our joints get creaky when the weather gets cold, Yesterday he chased his ball right into the river, But he couldn't get out and was a-startin' to shiver, So I jumped right in, and gave that puppy a lift, 'Cause I didn't want to see my furry baby adrift. Got the border collie blues (X2) The border collie, jolly jolly border collie blues. (Again) But I'm happy, happy, happy, 'cause I got my collie buddy right heeeere.

Kayleegator Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ok, now I am finally convinced. We are all nuts. Actually, Heidi, this song is a true story. And you know you woulda jumped in if it was your old dog! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesqf Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 And you know you woulda jumped in if it was your old dog! Actually it was my old dog (not a border collie) who jumped in to "save" me. That's how she learned to swim: never would go in the water until the day I swam out and went underwater for a while. Afterwards she loved swimming, and would happily paddle alongside me. Niki doesn't swim, either. If it's shallow enough, she'll wade out and lie down in the water, but she doesn't like it above midline of her body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustopherJones Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Ok, now I am finally convinced. We are all nuts. It has taken you this long to figure that out?!? Sidebar: Heidi, you and my DW are related. There are variations to the spelling of the last name (-an, -en, -in), resulting from different phonetic spellings by processors at Ellis Island. But all are part of the Douglas Clan; if you are ever in Scotland, you may want to visit the settlement of Draffan, located between Edinburgh and Glasgow.
