Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'A handsome man stepped under the transom
Subject: RE: A handsome man stepped under the transom
My mother was an Army wife, and was thrilled to hear the old songs aren't totally forgotten. When I read it to her, she was able to recite along with it, but she hasn't yet provided the tune. Hers was "gentleman handsome stepped under the transom". Perhaps that was the version used in mixed company. It got me to wondering a little about her youth.
