Subject: RE: Humorous male/female duets
That "Good ol' BUFFALO BOY" sure does ring a bell. I saw someone perform it many years ago, and the image and song stuck in my head. Whoever it was used a battered old fedora for a prop and sang the female part in a wobbly falsetto with the hat upside down on his head, and the male part in a basso with the hat right side up. The first two verses began with "oh, when we gonna have our weddin', our weddin' our weddin'" and "Reckon we'll have it on Saturday, on Saturday, on Saturday," etc. And the line later was "Ox won't fit in the carriage..." It was really funny! Surprised it's not in the DT.
