Songs I sang in church - 50 years ago.

My Dad was a true blue Episcopalian in the Diocese of Eastern Pennsylvania. He took me and my two sisters to church at St. Jude's in Whitemarsh, PA. Those were some of my earliest memories.

Those memories include Sunday School in the basement of St. Jude's. For some reason I've remembered fondly two songs that we sang a lot but that are never sung any more. They would be frightfully politically incorrect today - especially in the Episcopal Church. But I like them so much now that they go through my head a lot.
