GUEST,Jim O Origins: Slough-foot Sue? / Slewfoot Sue (51* d) RE: Origins: Slough-foot Sue? / Slewfoot Sue 18 Dec 10


My grandmother was born in england in 1918 and move to chicago. My grandmother sang this song to my mother, who was born in 1938: My mother in turn sang the song to my sisters and me. The song went like this:

There once was a girl I knew and her name was slew foot Sue. She was the chief engineer at the shirttail factory down by the riverside view. Her form was all she had. She had a face like a soft shell crab. Every night she use to tussel with the buttons on her bussell boy was she mad.

It was sang quickly.

Oh the memories.
