A song my friend Elmer Dunaway wrote: ( set to the tune of 'Elvis' Love me tender)
Love the timber walk it through
mushrooms you will find.
Sponges, Elephant Ears, Peckerheads too
and many other kinds.
Love the timber, love them Shrooms
Eat em till I pain
Bossman won't you let me go home
to hunt mushrooms in the rain.
I wanted to go to Shawneetown
and hunt em early on
but I couldn't get a day off work
'n now they're surely gone.
Love the timber, love them shrooms
eat em till I pain
Bossman, finally said go home
ta hunt mushrooms in the rain.
I think I'll sneak in Smiley's patch
they're they do abound
if he catches me in there
I won't be long around.
Love the timber love them shrooms
eat em till I pain
Heaven for me is an eternity
of hunting mushrooms in the rain!
Heaven for me is an eternity
of hunting mushrooms in the rain!!!!
