Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Oyster Girl
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Oyster Girl
3 copies on Bodl but no mention of an Oyster girl, it's all about catching em and bringing em to port.
Here's the first verse of a freshly caught one FWIW
As I was rolling down the street,
A pretty lass I chanced to meet,
She fairly knocked me off me feet
A shouting of her wares.
Oh oysters, sir, Oh oysters,
Fresh oysters was her cry,
They're freshly gathered from the bay,
Me oysters won't you buy?
