Thread Name: Lyr Req: Hey Lolly Lolly (Woody Guthrie)
Subject: RE: Hey Lolly, Lolly-Lo Lyrics?
I remember the song as "Hey, lydy, lydy" during high school, and it was the scene for dozens of sexist verses about things like "a girl who lives on the hill, she won't do it but her sister will," etc. Or at least those were the verses the guys always sang. I never knew it was a Woody Guthrie song.
