thank you for sharing your musical offering to the world in Jesus name. Matthew 22:1-14 and the text also. this was the Gospel message this morning in my Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)

We used to change the words to, "I have bought me a wife, and married a cow".

[keyplayer123]

We sang this in children's choir in the 70s!

Great and rare song. One of the first songs I heard my wife sing..

[eugenievlandry]

Wow ! This is wonderful to listen to. We were trying to learn the song and this is the best version of it I've heard.  It reminds me of the time when we sang it in Singapore many, many years in St. Francis Xavier in Serangoon Gardens over 30 years ago. Thank you for bringing memories. God bless you !

I've been looking for this song for years! Thanks so much for posting it! It reminds me of years ago when the Mission was truly distinct and sacred. God bless you!

[deanac1967]

does anyone know of a play about Joseph and his sons and this was one of the songs used to tell the story? it would have been around 1981 or 1982 i think, maybe a little before??? would love to find the music if it is available. thank you!!
