So this is one of my all time favorite traveling Celtic folk song that I’ve ever come across! As an acoustic guitar and music fanatic, and a slight rootsy side to myself, this one just stuck. I would recommend watching Celtic Thunders video on YouTube as well as reading through the lyrics.

A Place In The Choir

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir / Some sing low, some sing higher / Some sing out loud on the telephone wires / And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

Listen to the top where the little birds sing / On the melodies with the high notes ringing / The hoot owl hollers over everything / And the blackbird disagrees

Singin’ in the night time, singing in the day / The little duck quacks, then he’s on his way / And the otter hasn’t got much to say / And the porcupine talks to himself

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir / Some sing low, some sing higher / Some sing out loud on the telephone wires / And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

Dogs and the cats they take up the middle / While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles / The donkey brays and the pony neighs / And the old grey badger sighs.

Listen to the bass, it’s the one on the bottom / Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus / Moans and groans with a big t’do / And the old cow just goes moo.

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir / Some sing low, some sing higher / Some sing out loud on the telephone wires / And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

It’s a simple song of living sung everywhere / By the ox and the fox and the grizzly gear / The dopey alligator and the the hawk above / The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.

All God’s creatures got a place in the choir / Some sing low, some sing higher / Some sing out loud on the telephone wires / And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

All God’s creatures got a place in the ychoir
