Regarding all these three-line-per-stanza songs with a refrain consisting of the third line and similar to "Oh my baby...," another example is "Harvey Logan" as Dock Boggs learned it from Clintwood Johnson. Johnson was born in about 1890 and lived in a mostly black neighborhood, and Logan died in 1904. Boggs' "Harvey Logan," like the song Le Tellier heard, mentioned "the Bowery" and a gun.
