Here is a song as sung by Ed McCurdy on a pre-1954 7" reel to reel tape. You can listen to the song here:

THE CUCKOLDED HUSBAND
Good people all attention give
I pray you listen well
'Tis of a jealous husband
That I now wish to tell.
His name is not important
Nor where he did abide
But what he did example gives
As I will now confide
This man he had a handsome wife.
Her he did suspect
So he bought himself a knife and gun
His honor to protect.
Then on one night the while his wife
Was talking with her friend
The husband came upon them
His honor to defend.
He took the gun that he had bought
And up to them he went
To shoot his rival's balls off
It seems was his intent.
To shoot his rivals balls off
Likewise his pecker too
As any cuckolded husband
I'm sure likewise would do
Now if he was successful
We do not know as yet
But even if he wasn't,
His deed we'll not forget
Twas his purpose we should note.
His intention we should heed.
And take example from it
If ever we have need.
So husbands all attention give.
List' well all jealous hearts
To best your rival finally,
Remove his working parts
Tear the bastards privates off.
Oh, blunt the fulman's spear.
And of some future cuckolding
From him you will not have no fear.
This was just before or during McCurdy's "When Daliance Was In Flower" series. Does anyone know of a source for the song? It sounds very old.
Always yours,
John Mehlberg
