Brown Eyed Merle (the song)

Just a little something I wrote today. You probably know the tune...

Brown Eyed Merle*

Hey, where did you go
Day when the rain came?
Down in the hollow
Playing the chase game.
Smiling and a running, hey, hey
Frapping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
My heart a pumpin', and you
My brown eyed merle
You, my brown eyed merle.


Whatever happened
to recall and go slow
Walking on a loose lead
Across the patio.
Standing in the sunlight panting
Hiding behind a fake stone wall
Slipping and a sliding
Into the ditch I fall, with you
My brown eyed merle
You, my brown eyed merle.


Do you remember when I used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la Dewi uh uh!
Sha la la la la la la la la Dewi uh uh!
Dewi, uh uh!

So hard for you to stay
Your mind is all your own.
We were outside just the other day
The lawn was freshly mown.
Cast my memory back there, boy
Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Picking poop off the green grass
Behind the chrysanthemum with you
My brown eyed merle
You, my brown eyed merle.


Do you remember when I used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la Dewi uh uh!
Sha la la la la la la la la Dewi uh uh!
Dewi, uh uh!
