All, If you SoMo boys remember we sang this song at the 97 district pow wow. This discussion was started on the rev list I get. Thought it was inserting. Later, Noel"Spirit Rider"Bell This is a slight by the Loyal British about the American Drummers. The ears are the tabs on a rope drum, The British drummers kept their drums tied tight with a specific knot called a drummers knot. They alleged that the Americans could not tie their drums tight enough so when the heads were tensioned the ears were at the bottom of the drum.

"Do your ears hang low..." You all are so well informed Here's a song to test your abilities on origins. Does anyone know where this song came from? My mother used to sing it to me in Ohio. Do your ears hang low? do they wobble to and fro can you tie them in a knot can you tie them in a bow can you throw them o'er your shoulder like a Continental soldier do your ears hang low? eGroups Sponsor Visit the RevList Homepage, which includes book and movie reviews, a list of sutlers, RevList member photos, etc., at http://www.liming.org/revlist/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Visit the RevList Homepage, which includes book and movie reviews, a list of sutlers, RevList member photos, etc., at http://www.liming.org/revlist/ _______ To unsubscribe, send "unsubscribe rangernet" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://rangernet.org/subscribe.htm http://rangernet.org Autoresponder: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
