"Song specifically mentions some foreigners." Who? Where mentioned in the 'uncontaminated' version put together by Garst?

'Flowing bowl' is found in 18th-19th c. American songs and seems to have persisted into Civil War times (corrupted form), but (just my opinion) the term would not be in common use by likely patrons or proprietors of the pleasure houses in New Orleans ca. 1900.

Little supporting data, but I seem to agree with John Garst that the 'me, poor girl' version, sung by a woman, is later, a development from the 'poor boy' version put together by John Garst from the Ozark fragments.
