Subject: RE: Lyr Req:Who Hit Nelly in the Belly with a Flounder
Guest's verses sound like a relative or antecedent of "Roll Me Over in the Clover."
But the important thing is that I suddenly recognized the similarity of the "Roll Me Over" tune to that of the rather more staid "When the Roll is Called Up Yonder" (J. M. Black, ca1894).
In fact, they couldn't be a whole lot closer.
Sorry for the drift....
