SC - Fw: [Mid] re: oats bean barley

[Gerekr at aol.com]

Sorry this response is so late, but the only thing that comes to mind is 
that when I see that first line, my mind pops up something that goes 

     "oats PEAS beans and barley GROW"

and durned if I can remember what goes with it -- tho "so early in the 
morning" keeps tagging after it...  I've certainly never seen/heard the 
song lyric before.  Did this ever get resolved?
