Coral Snake, you take quite a chance choosing to use such works to parody. I expect a lot of folks will see the titles and just zoom on by. Their loss. I see you do a lot by Henry Clay Work. I know of him since he wrote "The Ship That Never Returned" - one of the more parodied Civil War era songs. (e.g. "Super Skier" and "M.T.A.) and I recently wrote a parody of it for a performance at my church (The Elder Who Never Returned). I also recognized this title. I collect hymnals (I have almost three hundred) and this tune was adapted for "Jesus Loves the Little Children" and the LDS "In Our Lovely Deseret." I notice that you use a lot of these older songs (some of which may well be recognizable to most folks, if they just listen to the midi) so you clearly have a background or at least an interest in these older works. I will have to pay more attention to what you are writing. It's good to see people doing parodies of songs that might otherwise be forgotten. I think there is a natural link, odd though it may seem, between the study of hymnody and of parody. In both cases established tunes are often given new words - frequently keeping much of the original intact. Anyway, don't get me started - lol! Nice work! A little off on the rhyming and pacing but still worth high marks!
