Thread Name: Leaning against the lake?
Subject: RE: Leaning against the lake?
This is the song as I learned it in the early 1970's:

Oh there was a little man
And he had a little can
And he went to rush the growler
He went to the saloon
On a sunday afternoon
And he heard the barkeep holler
No booze today
No booze today
You can't buy booze on Sunday

No booze today, no booze today
You'll have to wait 'till Monday

Now the sweetest little girl I know
Has a face like a hourse and buggy
Leaning up against the lake
Oh, fireman save my child

Peaking through a knothole
in Daddy's wooden leg
Who will fry the bacon
When I'm gone, gone
gone gone gone
Go get the axe
There's a fly on baby's head
Were moving sister's grave
To build a silo.
