The song that Andy and Peggy sang on the porch is called "Down in the
Valley".  

 

The lyrics are:

 

            Down in the valley, valley so low

            Hang your head over

            Hear the wind blow.

            Hear the wind blow, dear

            Hear the wind blow.

            Hang your head over

            Hear the wind blow.

 

            If you don't love me, 

            Love whom you please.

            Throw your arms 'round me

            Give my heart ease.

            Give my heart ease, dear

            Give my heart ease.

            Throw your arms 'round me

            Give my heart ease.

 

            Roses love sunshine

            Violets love dew

            Angels in heaven

            Know I love you

            Know I love you, dear

            Know I love you

            Angels in heaven

            Know I love you.

 

I used to sing this song to one of my godsons when he was a baby and it
always calmed him down and/or got him off to sleep.  As a matter of fact,
when I stopped singing, he started crying.  I guess he had good taste in
music, even at a young age.  LOL

 

 

Here are some scenes that make me laugh out loud that no one else has
mentioned.  

 

>From "Mountain Wedding" - when Ernest T meets Andy and Barney for the first
time and Andy says "That Ernest T Bass is a strange and weird character."
Briscoe Darling says" Just plain ornery."  Barney says "He's a nut."  And
then Ernest T goes running and jumping away..

>From "The Merchant of Mayberry" - When Barney is telling Andy what he would
have said to Ben Weaver.  He says "Why don't you go sit in the grocery store
so we can all know you're the big cheese."

>From "Three Wishes for Opie" - 

1.                          when Helen comes storming up to Andy and yells
at him about how she does not like to go to a PTA meeting and find out that
she is engaged to the great Sheriff Taylor.  She goes on for a minute and
then ends with "What really infuriates me is listening to all your friends
telling me what a good catch you are.  Well, you're not caught yet." And she
turns her nose up and storms off.

2.                          when Andy sees Barney coming and grabs him by
the arm and drags him into the courthouse.  

3.                          when Barney, Goober, and Floyd are in the back
room at the courthouse with the lights off trying to summon Count Istvan
Telecky, especially the part where Barney comes back in the room with the
fingerprint set.

4.                          at the end when Barney has thrown away the
fortune telling stuff and they find out that Opie really has gotten his
third wish.  The look on Barney's face as he pulls the stuff back out of the
trashcan is hilarious.

"Gentlemen, I have the following announcement to make.  Count Istvan Telecky
exists."
