Thread Name: Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow?
Subject: RE: Dainty Davey: What's a curly pow?
can't believe what this song is about! 'leas' instead of 'peas','tribunes' instead of 'dragoons' in the version I heard, albeit dragoons makes more sense. DID NOT know the 'gravy' verse, kind of marrs the song a bit for me, although it's funny still. good to know the story about Davey and Lady Cherrytrees, and truly enjoyed the bawdy version of the Crimean War
