A Theme Song For Berne, New York – Your Town Thursday [AUDIO]
I love the small towns. The smaller the better, as far as I'm concerned, and this one is SMALL. Welcome once again to this installment of Your Town Thursday
I took this shot from my private plane - NOT!
I would like to thank Randall Grippin, Valerie Trossbach, Ashely Wallace Fred Dunn and others who gave me some information via Facebook. I can't believe I forgot to mention Foxenkill, Cole Hill and Berne Mill. They all rhyme and I forgot to put it in the lyrics, so I'm including the names here.
Using a great Alan Jackson song, "Little Bitty" - (originally composed by Tom T. Hall) I manipulated the words a bit to talk about a little bitty town in the center of the hill towns, Berne. Here's your song.
Little Bitty Berne

If you like a little town
Then you can get your fix
route 443 til it meets 156
Center of the helderbergs that's a lot of hills
Created from a town that was a part of rennselearville
it's a town and dang if it ain't pretty
It's the polar opposite of livin in the city
It's a place where you can live with out fear
You can bet your &&&& they don't have hydro franking here
It's a nice place to visit if you wanna get outta dodge
With a farmers market run by the Masonic lodge
When I need syrup for my pancakes
No need to twist my arm
Just head on down to the mountain wind farms
if you go to east Berne don't take a LONG vacation
There's two restaurants and one gas station
Thats about they got you won't find much more
Unless you need a wrench cuz they got a hardware store
There's an elementary middle and high school that they got
Conveniently they're all in the same parking lott
Center of town nearly got it from Irene
But the residents are tough and they made an awesome team
Bernes the town and it's a little bitty
If you ain't been there its a real pity
Take a ride and get there 'fore its dark
You'll have an awesome view of that gorgeous thatcher park
I'm Rhymin richie and that's all I gotta say
Your town thursday on 'GNA
