Autumn to May by Peter Paul and Mary. Lyrics below. A song about fantasy and imagination, adventures and being carefree.

Oh once I had a little dog, his color it was brown

I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run

His legs they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide

Around the world in half a day, upon him I could ride.

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May.

Oh once I had a little frog, he wore a vest of red

He'd lean upon his silver cane, a top hat on his head

He'd speak of far off places, of things to see and do,

Of all the Kings and Queens he'd met while sailing in a shoe.

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May.

Oh once I had a flock of sheep, they grazed upon a feather

I'd keep them in a music box from wind or rainy weather

And every day the sun would shine, they'd fly all through the town

To bring me back some golden rings, candy by the pound.

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May.

Oh once I had a downey swan, she was so very frail

She sat upon an oyster shell and hatched me out a snail

The snail had changed into a bird, the bird to butterfly

And he who tells a bigger tale would have to tell a lie.

Sing Tarry-O Day, Sing, Autumn to May.

1962 - Warner Bros. Records signed Peter, Paul & Mary.Their eponymous debut album would be released in May 1962. Yes, I now that it included included "Lemon Tree", "500 Miles", and the Pete Seeger hit tunes "If I Had a Hammer" (subtitled "The Hammer Song") and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", but I decided to post a track that was written by Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey.#dapimusic #mymusichangout #folkmusic #peterpaulandmary #onthisday #onthisdate

My grandfather would sing this song to my Dad and my Dad passed down the tradition of singing it to my sisters and I every night. So relaxing and a wonderful childhood memory. <3

I have never heard of them ever singing it at any of their concerts. I bet in their later years they would've polished it up like they did with "Where have all the flowers gone" I liked the latter version much better than the one on their 1st album.

Today at college, I thought of the little frog verse, and sang it in my head. I remembered it from when I sang it in elementary school. It's so amazing to hear this!
