Right away I loved your guitar playing. Really great storytelling. I really love this music. It just feels gentle and kind and natural and warm to me. It gives me the feeling I have outdoors on a beautiful day.

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks, Jason! This song was written on a warm summer's evening whilst I took a friend's dog for a very long walk in the countryside. I guess some of that must have rubbed off!

Best wishes,

Paddy

[mamaunderscoresays]

This's got such a nice melody. it just rolls out like it was never written! and the lyrics are very funny.

[oldfolkiepad]

These are the nicest of compliments, and I greatly appreciate your taking the time to listen and comment - thank you! Thanks also for subscribing; I hope you find some of my other songs amusing. Best wishes,

[samanthabianchi86]

Your music is really pleasent to listen to!! You're a very good singer and guitar player!! Keep doing lovely videos like this one!! :D 5*

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks, Samy. I'm glad you enjoyed this and hope some of my other songs will amuse you too. I just paid a visit to your channel before replying to this comment, and I must say you have a beautiful voice. Congratulations on becoming part of Elysium - but keep up the solos too, and the duets with Anna!

Best wishes,

Paddy

[Kittielips]

Where's Elysium? Is it close to Swabia?

I don't get this......

Love.

Jennie. X.

[oldfolkiepad]

It's a heavenly part of the Underworld, and a place where it is perpetually Spring. However, Samy's Elysium is a choir. I'll send you one of their videos.

Love,

Paddy

[Kittielips]

How can you have 'Heaven underneath?'

Oh, hang on; don't answer that.......Has Spring sprung, yet?

Love.

Jennie. X.

[Kittielips]

I still think you should wear shades of plum or navy blue. They do suit you far better than what you're wearing now; or was it then?

Love.

Jennie. X.

[oldfolkiepad]

Well, I was dressed as a scarecrow then!

Love,

Paddy

[Kittielips]

He sounds rather nowty, doesn't he?

Thank you.

Jennie.

Thanks for you nice comments you made on my two songs at my You Tube channel. I thought I'd come up and listen to your music...I love your style! I love traditional sounding music....very authentic stuff and I really enjoyed this!

Very well performed too. :)

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks for such kind comments, and for subscribing, too. I've only just started exploring your channel and haven't yet had time to listen to more than a couple of songs, but I'll be back!

Best regards,

Paddy

[309lincoln]

Wow! Great song! I grew up on a farm and I think we might have had you standing in our garden. If it wasn't you It may have been a relative. We allways had birds and racoons coming for our sweet corn. Thanks Paddy. Devin USA

[oldfolkiepad]

Thanks Devin, much appreciated. If that was me in your garden way back, I never got my $20 - it's been the same story everywhere I go!

Best wishes,

Paddy

[raymondcrooke]

[songmansinatra120]

[oldfolkiepad]

Thank you, Mike, I always greatly appreciate your kind comments. I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it.

Very best wishes,

Paddy

[chuxtrux]

hi there paddy. this of course was pure entertainment. so many wonderful lines and gags. just a very cool, innocent and satisfying comedy from a good man in a bad hat. be well friend, chuck.

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks for such generous comments, Chuck; I'm delighted that you enjoyed it. The hat wasn't a bad one when I first got it, but it sure is now!

All the best,

Paddy

[hrpman]

It's alright writing a funny song, but there's got to be a punchline you don't see coming. Paddy, you always come up trumps with that! Absolutely brilliant! Well done!

[oldfolkiepad]

Many thanks, Victor - glad you enjoyed it - and that I managed not to make the punchline too obvious. (Unlike the last line of the penultimate verse, which you can see coming a mile off!)

Best regards,

Paddy

[RoseMadderzaHatter]

You poor man, wait until I see that farmer.

All that hard work for nothing. How dare he treat you so disgracefully!

Five Stars, my Dear.

Rose. x.

[Kittielips]

It's plane to see that you must be a 'bird magnet'.

Well done, Mister!!

5*****.

Love,

Jennie.

 X.

[oldfolkiepad]

Thanks, Jennie!

If I'm a bird magnet, doesn't that mean they were attracted to my pole? But I didn't have one!

Love,

Paddy

[Kittielips]

The uniform will have been enough; believe me......

[oldfolkiepad]

If you see him, Rose, tell him I want my £20! I think I'll stick to lolling in future. Thank you for your sympathy, though, and for the stars!

Yours wearily, but fondly,

The Bumpkin

[RoseMadderzaHatter]

I certainly will, my Dear, you can be assured of that! This is nothing more than 'slave labour'.

Fondest regards,

Rose. x.

[Gregmovolt1]

Awesome. Good thing to right about actulay. Well done. Love the lyrics and guitar playing. good job 5 stars for sure. Keep them coming. I like your hat!!

[oldfolkiepad]

Thanks, Greg, glad you enjoyed it. You'd be welcome to the hat: with all that loose straw in it, it didn't half itch!

Paddy

[davemorag1]

Great song Paddy, You sure can tell a funny story. Poor old scarecrow cant scare the birds. Not a bad thing I think if they are lookers! Ha ha . 5 star satire. Dave

[oldfolkiepad]

It must have been the uniform, as the farmer suggested! Thanks Dave, much appreciated.
