Description
"Little Rhody" - a song about Rhode Island - this is a simple video with just words and music. I hope you enjoy it.
Vocal and instruments by Timmy May - recorded by Steve Rizzo at Stable Studios, Portsmouth, RI, USA in Summer 2015
My original version of the song, recorded in 2012, was sung by a good friend, David Kearsley, who did a great job. Here is that version:

"LITTLE RHODY" – music and lyrics by Timmy May - copyright USA 2012
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
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 an 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….
