                                The Joy of Singing
                     Dedicated to Mrs. Carson

Chorus:
 Singing was the medicine, medicine, medicine,
Singing was the medicine for the soul.
She sang wherever she was going, she was going, she was going,
She sang wherever she was going, that’s what made her whole.  She taught music everywhere, everywhere, everywhere,
She taught music everywhere all around the world.
Singing was the medicine, medicine, medicine,
Singing was the medicine for the soul.

She was born April 12, 1923
She loved sliding on the snow,
She loved swimming in the pool
She won a singing contest called “One Fine Day.”

                        CHORUS

She moved to Connecticut for 1 year.
She married a man named Richard Carson who was also her neighbor.
She had 3 children: two boys and one girl.
Their names were Bill, Don, and Margie.
She sang in Israel around Jerusalem.

                          CHORUS

 Verse 3: She is a happy person and she loves children.
She’s lived here at Bayou Manor for almost three years.
She has 4 grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
She directs a choir that contains 29 people.

                     CHORUS

She traveled around the world meeting coaches.
She met the football, boxing, track, and swimming coach.       
Her favorite sport is basketball; also she was a tennis captain.
She still sings here at Bayou Manor.

                     CHORUS

 She lived in Boston and Michigan, then moved to Bayou Manor.
She then moved to Houston, Texas.
She traveled all around the United State.
She still loves to sing a lot.
