Description

"LITTLE RHODY" – music and lyrics by Timmy May - copyright USA 2012
this version featuring my friend and outstanding vocalist David Kearsley

Right by the ocean with a shining bay and islands
A place upon creation Mother nature was smilin'
Is a pretty little place that I call my home…..

North from Bermuda West of the Vineyard
East from the Apple and just south of Boston
Is a pretty little place that I call my home…..

CHORUS:
LITTLE RHODY, LITTLE RHODY
IT’S THE LITTLEST STATE WITH THE BIGGEST HEART
NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO YOU’RE NOT TOO FAR
FROM THE PLACE THAT YOU LEFT NO MATTER WHERE YOU
ARE, IN LITTLE RHODY, LITTLE RHODY
IT’S THE LITTLEST STATE WITH THE BIGGEST HEART

(Next verse not in this recorded version)
(Between the Bay State and Connecticut
Conimicut to Meshanticut
Misquamicut to Conanicut
You’ll fall in love with all of it
It’s a pretty little place that I call my home….)

When you’re headed east from Montauk
Before you reach Nantucket
You’ll be feeling kind of cozy
From Block Island to Pawtucket
In a pretty little place that I call myh home…..

(Here'a another extra verse not in recorded version just for fun...)

From Scituate to Ninigret
and Escoheag to Usquepaug
Weekapaug to Apponaug
and now we're at the epilogue
It’s a pretty little place that I call my home….

This recording was used on "The Dan Yorke Show" - as "bumper" music, on WPRO 630 AM Providence, Rhode Island, in 2013. There are other recordings of the song. Another version was used as a television commercial for Cardi's Furniture in 2016. The "commercial" celebrated the beauty of Rhode Island and the creativity of students at the Meeting Street School. Here is that recording:
