Goose Gander	Three Butchers: WHY the naked woman? (82* d)	RE: Three Butchers: WHY the naked woman?	04 Apr 10
DIXON SAID TO JOHNSON As sung by Nimrod Workman, Chattaroy, WV, 3-1-76, recorded by Mark Wilson and Ken Irwin. Dixon said to Johnson upon one holiday, "Let's ride around the mountain to pass the time away." Old Johnson being willing as they sat down to rest They spied a naked woman a-sitting by herself. "Oh, woman, foolish woman, what are you doing there?" "The robbers they have robbed me; they've left me here to die" Old Johnson being willing, a willing man in mind He threw his greatcoat around her and took her on behind. They rode on a few miles further as they sat down to rest She drew a bloody dagger; she plunged it through his chest "Woman, foolish woman, see what that you've done done You've killed the bravest soldier that ever fired a gun." "I know I've killed many a man; I've killed them all my life I know I've killed a many a one; I am that robber's wife." Source: Folk-Songs of the Upper South vol. 2 (Musical Traditions MTCD343-4)
