Just my voice and harmony of it to sing songs of all kinds. I do not try to sound like any other artist, and I love so many varieties of music. I have made 4

Music has always been an essential part of my life. There is no style of music that I dislike..from classical to rock..there is always something to enjoy. The only thing i Play is the keyboard of my computer using Creative Labs software and card and my vocal chords.

Story behind the song

I make CD's of Christmas Carols and some long forgotten children's songs for my grandchildren.  This song is very fun for them to sing along with.
  According to Traditional Folksongs and Ballads of Scotland by John Loesberg, the tune dates to "at least the 18th century or earlier"

Lyrics

There was a man lived in the moon,
lived in the moon, lived in the moon
There was a man lived in the moon,
And his name was Aiken Drum.
   Chorus
And he played upon a ladle,
a ladle, a ladle
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.

And his hat was made of good cream cheese,
of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese,
And his hat was made of good cream cheese
And his name was Aiken Drum.

Chorus

And his coat was made of good roast beef,
of good roast beef, of good roast beef,
And his coat was made of good roast beef,
And his name was Aiken Drum.

Chorus

And his buttons made of penny loaves,
of penny loaves, of penny loaves,
And his buttons made of penny loaves,
And his name was Aiken Drum.

Chorus

And his breeches made of haggis bags
of haggis bags, of haggis bags
And his breeches made of haggis bags,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
