Thread Name: Naughty kids' greatest hits II
Subject: RE: Naughty kids' greatest hits II
My mom sang this when I was a kid - this site had the only near match:
"...Shot his sister?, when he was only three
Drownded his brother in a cup of tea
Davy, Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier..."
I think she said the original was "shot a b'ar" which was supposed to mean bear.
While I'm at it, this one she sang recalls a better-managed time...
"Beer, beer for old Stroudsburg High
You bring the whiskey, I'll bring the rye
Send somebody out for gin
Don't let a sober senior in!
We never stagger, we never fall
We sober up on wood alcohol
? ? ? ? ? ? ? and open the guldarn bar!"
