Hiya SS

I'm wondering whether any of you lovely people know the tune to "Oh dandelion, yellow as gold", by any chance, please? My son and I do a singing session every week for the residents at the Home my Dad is now in, and one of the ladies there asked me if I knew this song. She remembers singing it at school, but doesn't remember the tune. I said I would try to find out for her. So far I have found the words, but I can't seem to find the tune without paying, and I'm allergic to paying... ;-)

If you do know it, I've no idea how you can sing it to me though! Didn't think that one through, did I?

Hi stranger,
Here are the words but you'll have to make your own music to go with
it:-)
Hope you're keeping well.

I found this link, but it needs a facebook login, and as I am not on
facebook I can't get any further.

If you are, or if you know anyone who is, this is the link

I found that link but as soon as I tried to play it my mouse went
haywire and when I closed it all went ok.Could have been a faulty mouse
but seems as though it's back to normal,fingers crossed:-)

Replying to my own post! But I have an excuse.

I found a sample - but it should give you a guide to the whole song

Even if you do play it, all you hear is the poem recited. No music.

Oh right. You see my speakers hsve died ( and that happened quickly after
they were bought ) so I don't hear anything most of the time.

Thank you all, I bit the bullet and paid 99p to buy it. Sadly, the lady concerned wasn't feeling up to coming to the Wednesday Warble yesterday, but I have left a copy of the words there, hopefully she'll come another week, when I've had a chance to learn it :-)

Strangely enough, google groups isn't letting me quote any posts I'm trying to reply to at the moment, sorry.
