I'm glad none of you objecters were involved in field work collecting folk music. No doubt many songs were lost because of the moral views of the collector. This seems to me to be a whole genre of songs, sung at smokers and stags and campfires.

I heard many songs similar to this when I attended an Anglican church boys' camp. These were the songs the boys sang in the cabins when the overlords weren't around. The overlords preferred songs like Climb Climb Up Sunshine Mountain, to which one boy composed a filthy parody, but the words have escaped me.

I will always rather be offended than accept censorship. Anyway, I don't know the lyrics to this one, but I would post them if I did.

Incidently, I too prefer the more subtle ones. There was a great LP released in the early sixties or the fifties by anonymous singers. "Cocky Cowboy" done in western swing, and "Joe's Joint", rather jazzy-bluesy, are two that come to mind although it has been years since I heard the LP. BTW, in one of Robertson Davies novels he mentions a song called The Stub of Me Old Cigar -- anyone ever heard it or of it?
