The Marvelous Toy

This is post 1 of 2 for my mom. I was exceptionally blessed, as a small child, to have two parents who read and sang to me A LOT. Mom was a folkie (was? is.) and this was one of the songs I remember her singing most... it always makes me tear up a little (I really don't know why - it's a happy song). Love you mom!

My Irish father, who lost his battle with cancer, use to sing this to me. Thank you so much for the memories.
