One of my favorite Dutch Oven meals

Take corn on the cob, break them in half so they are about 4 inches long, stand them on end around the edge of the Dutch Oven.
Slice potatoes about 1/4-inch thick and put in the center of the pot.
On top of the potatoes, put pork chops, or boneless chicken breasts, or hamburger patties (makes the potatoes taste a little greasy in my opinion, but not bad), or sausages... or whatever meat you prefer.
(I have friends that add a can of cream of mushroom soup at this point, but I don't)
I usually add about 1/4 cup of water or broth.
You can put button mushrooms, or sliced zucchini, or something else on top if you want to.

Put the lid on the pot and cook it over very low heat on the stove for a couple of hours
(or on a campfire with coals to bring it to about 350 degrees)

BUFFALO GALS

Buffalo Gals, won't you come out tonight,
come out tonight, come out tonight?
Buffalo gals, won't you come out tonight,
And dance by the light of the moon?

I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin',
And her heel kep' a-rockin' and her toe kep' a-knockin',
I danced with a gal with a hole in her stockin',
And we danced by the light of the moon.

O yes, pretty boys, we're comin' out tonight,
We're comin' out tonight, we're comin' out tonight,
O yes, pretty boys, we're comin' out tonight,
And dance by the light of the moon.

I asked her if she'd stop and talk
Stop and talk, stop and talk
Her feet covered up the whole sidewalk,
she was fair to view

I asked her if she'd stop and dance,
Have a dance, care to dance
I thought that I might get a chance
to shake a foot with her

I asked her if she'd be my wife
be my wife, be my wife
Then I'd be happy all my life
if she would marry me

I danced with the dolly with a hole in her stocking
And her feet kept a-rocking
& her knees kept a-knocking
O I danced with the dolly with a hole in her stocking
And we danced by the light of the moon.

RED WING
(Words Thurland Chattaway; music Kerry Mills)

There once was an Indian maid,
A shy little prairie maid,
Who sang a lay, a love song gay,
As on the plain she'd while away the day;

She loved a warrior bold,
This shy little maid of old,
But brave and gay, he rode one day
To battle far away.

Now, the moon shines tonight on pretty Red Wing
The breeze is sighing, the night bird's crying,
For afar 'neath his star her brave is sleeping,
While Red Wimg's weeping her heart away.

She watched for him day and night,
She kept all the campfires bright,
And under the sky, each night she would lie,
And dream about his coming by and by;

But when all the braves returned,
The heart of Red Wing yearned,
For far, far away, her warrior gay,
Fell bravely in the fray.
