Story Behind The Song
The old lady's ( Daisy Eden Abercombie Odell) house was torn down, leaving a large brushy vacant lot, next door to my abode. Two neighborhood girl-pals (now with children)
were busy collecting something. I was sitting on my porch pickin and singin and asked them what they were gathering,
and was informed of the ladybugs and their many uses.

Lyrics
Two little girls catching lady bugs/
say they're goin to eat them for dinner/
some they're gonna eat raw some they're gonna fry/
some they're gonna save for winter/
chorus:
well That's A FINE THING, that's A FINE THING,
A FINE THING, A MIGHTY FINE THING
I know a girl savin memories/
where they'll make it through bad weather/
some she's goin to sell some she''ll give away/
some she'e gonna keep forever/
chorus
..... extra verse. #1 (I've got a doggie she's such a pretty girl/
likes to eat flies like they're candy/
we go walkin, she puts on an attitude/
feeling fine and dandy/)
#2 (one thing i like better than playing my guitar/
outside in the mornin/
is when love dances all over my heart/
makes me feel like singing.
chorus
Big sister's growin up gettin antsy/
saw mom and daddy do the tango/
wants to find a boy do some fancy dancing
learn how to dance the fandango..........
repeat verse one and chorus
