Queen Of Charcuterie

Cheesy skirmish tune. I don't mind this. Its a little disrespectful of farming folks but I like it 'cause its on the verge of being a fiddle tune. Happy FAWM all!
Lyrics
In a small town in Quebec Eastern Townships Lived a simple milking maid With working woman's hips
Not blessed with brains or beauty Plain describes her looks Those folks who knew said she Was an awful cook
CHORUS: She was the Queen Of Charcuterie The best there'd ever been Gourmands came from far a way To taste her curdled (moldy) cream
She couldn't boil an egg Or make a decent cup of tea But with an old board and a bit of cheese She'd craft charcuterie
He was a simple plowboy By simple I mean dumb But he could plow straight and true Stronger than anyone
He had no use for books Was not impressed by Art But when he saw little Annie He felt the quickning of his heart
CHORUS
With a little bit of cheddar Some blue and some brie Some meat and pickling something She'd make charcuterie
And though he lived on gruel And longed for nothing more When she laid her board before him He felt a love not known before
CHORUS
Charcuterie, charcuterie How do you spell Char-cu-terie
Charcuterie, Charcuterie What the hells that smell? Charcuterie.

Reminds me so much of Johnny Cash. I love that there is a song featuring charcuterie now.

At it again! Your songs always crack me up. Never thought I'd hear a charcuterie song

This was lovely and definitely set my morning off on the right foot. Although I do think it has left me with a desire to track down a charcuterie board of my own 😂

What a delightful and catchy song about charcuterie! I particularly liked the storytelling in the lyric. Nice angle on the skirmish.

Great storytelling. I love how the "bouncing bass line" sound trucks along. Really nice delivery. "By simple I mean dumb" was my favorite lyric. Top notch!

I enjoyed that a lot, the by simple, I mean dumb line cracked me up.

Now this sounds inspired! I smiled all the way through this. Funny lyrics and a catchy chorus to boot. Well done, great start to this year's FAWM 😊
