Thread Name: Lyr Req: All About Turds
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: All About Turds
Well, it looks like more or less the same song all through, but the version above is somewhat different from the one mentioned in the previous thread [not the old woman who wanted to murder her husband, the other one with constipation], but the version I know is slightly different again. They probably all started off as the same song, and over the years were varied from place to place. I find it fascinating the way the folk tradition does that, until some smart alec does a definitive version on record and all of a sudden you can't find the variants anymore!!
