I wrote this song, made the melody, chorded it on my autoharp, sang it and released it on this board, and now I have a full children's song!! Thanks to Zeek for the guitar tracks and Vicarn for mixing for me! I wrote this song for my son in honor of his very first ride on the Merry-Go Round at the mall. ON THE MERRY-GO-ROUND on SoundClick On The Merry-Go-Round By Tammy © 2011 Up and down, round and round my horse and I go dancing. Up and down, round and round my horse and I go prancing. I hold on tight with all my might, and I feel so proud. The music and bright colors on the Merry-Go-Round. Up and down, round and round my horse and I go dancing. Up and down, round and round my horse and I go prancing. I'm smiling and laughing and wave to the crowd as I swing and I sway on the Merry-Go-Round (bridge) come let's race to the other side my horse and I are going to fly Up and down, round and round my horse and I go dancing. Up and down, round and round my horse and I go prancing. I hold on tight with all my might, and I feel so proud. The music and bright colors on the Merry-Go-Round.

Tam,
First time listening to one your songs. You have an Angel's Voice is best to describe it.
Your song takes me back when we use to go to Carnivals and ran to get on a horse on the Merry Go Around...never wnated to get off.
Thanks for the enjoyable song.

I think I remember this lyric or, the a capella, right?
It's bouncy and fun - and perfect for a children's album!! Your vocals are perfect for it as well. Great performance as usual.
I like the swing of it. The slowdown on the bridge is nice too.
Great job!!
Linda

Tammy, I like it. This is a good children's song. I'd like to hear some kids singing on it. Can you get some to join you to add their voices??? I'm imagining this in a video of kids riding the merry-go-round.
Real good one.

Thanks for sharing Tammy. Almost has an Irish folk feel to it.
"my horse and I are going to fly".... I like that line!

Wyman,
If you saw my kids sing and dance to it, it is wonderful!! I hope other kids get to hear it, but that is just a dream right now. Thanks for stopping by!!

I am pretty sure my grandkids will love this! Kids songs have a long shelf life! You seem to have the talent for such songs! Very catchy!

I love this! I thought it was good before but the added music makes it perfect. I'm sure kids will enjoy it. Merry-go-rounds have always been a favorite of mine. I guess I'll never be too old to enjoy them. Like your song they are simple but sometimes the best is simple. Perfect for a childrens' album. Keep up the wonderful writing.

Hi Tammy. I remember the autoharp version of this one. The guitar adds a lot. I wonder how it would sound with a full production. As usual your voice is angelic. Pretty tune as well. You done good once again.

Had heard this before w/o music and liked it even then. Music of course always adds that missing piece and now it's still sweet and makes a nice children's piece Tammy. I almost felt like I was on that merry go round. Best, Lynn

Stevie,
Well, if anyone ever falls for this song as I have, maybe they will offer a full production of it, if not, it still makes my kids happy, and that is good too!! Thanks for listening!!
