Ancho

(Drew Woods Ancho d’Pepperville)

August 25, 2005 – April 26, 2017

Lay down my dear puppy, lay down and take your rest
Won’t you lay your head down on your mother’s breast
I love you you, oh, but Opal loves you the best
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight
And I bid you goodnight, goodnight, goodnight

(Poetry borrowed from Joseph Spence and his family,
the Pinder family, and Sarah Doudney)
