Thread Name: Origins: My Gal's a Corker/...Girl's a New Yorker
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My Gal's a Corker
I found this information at WorldCat.org:
MY GIRL'S A CORKER: OR, THE RACE TRACK GIRL
Words by William Jerome, music by John Queen
New York: T. B. Harms, ©1895.
First line: Oh, talk about your sweethearts fair.
First line of chorus: My girl's a corker.
This makes me wonder if all the versions quoted so far are parodies.
