Subject: Lyr Add: OLD SHOES AND LEGGINGS
joy's partner here, with what i can remember of the song:
old ______?_______* came courting one day
all three girls wouldn't have him
came courting one day and we wished him away
with his old shoes on and his leggings
mother told me to give him a chair
all three etc
i gave him a chair and he jumped in the air
with his etc
mother told me to get him a drink
i got him a drink and he sat in the sink
show him the saw
danced rye straw
put him to bed
stood on his head
send him away
left us to stay
* i sing "old fiddle-faddle"
