For some reason this song came into my head! Maybe after 40 years or so. Amazing how the human brain works. I usually listen to jazz like Miles, Coltrane, Lee Morgan. So why did I come here? I have no idea but it sounded great and happy.
I remember my mother singing this to me when I was little in the late 60s. This is the first time I've heard the original. What sweet memories. And my mother's rendition was pretty amazing :-)
My dad used to sing this. Shoo fly pie is a depression era pie when people didn't have much. It's still sold in Amish country in Pennsylvania. A fine memory.
