about

Based on the song Sweet Rosie O'Grady, written by Maude Nugent in 1896.

lyrics

Just a moment's walk along the street where I reside
A river runs across the town where lucky folks have spied
Some bats above the water and I don't mind telling you
That they're the sweetest creatures on this earth who ever flew...

Sweet bats over yonder
How treasured are those?
I couldn't be fonder
Most everyone knows
And when they fly over
How happy we'll be
For bats love the bugs of the river
And bugs of the river love me

I never shall forget the day I sat beneath a bridge
As evening fell upon the sky and cooled the air a smidge
'Twas on that summer evening that the bats bewitched my mind
By swirling out hypnotically as bats are so inclined

Sweet bats over yonder
How treasured are those?
I couldn't be fonder
Most everyone knows
And when they fly over
How happy we'll be
For bats love the bugs of the river
And bugs of the river love me
