Immortalized in Song
Steven Tyler wrote and sang a song called Mia.Mia
Honey now..na, na, na, na, na....
Hush a bye my baby soft and new
Oh, loveliness, gypsy dance in the rain
Hush a bye my baby what you do
Oh, the baby cry
The wind is a-callin your name
Oh, oh...
Where you came from you ain't alone
Live and loved from the old jaw bone
Ah, don't you cry you're home sweet home
Rock a bye sweet lady gypsy blue
Oh, the nightingale's singin' her song in the rain
Hush a bye sweet lady, soft and new
Oh, don't you cry, the wind she's a-screamin' your name
Oh, oh...
Come too soon that sunny day
You give your heart away
No divorce, io repouise
Oh, oh...
This song can be found on the album Night in the Ruts.
