Subject: RE: Villikins & his Dinah: songs using tune
G'day Bob and all. I was going to suggest "Carolina the cowpuncher's whore" that Oscar Brand recorded, I think but it sounds like that wouldn't be suitable. There was another that springs to mind that I learned in school in England in the fifties. I can only remember the second verse which went
Oh Father, Oh Father the daughter she cried
Idon't feel inclined to be marry-i-ed
And all my large fortune, I'll gladly give o'er
If you let me live single a year or two more.
Anyone know what that was?
