Thread Name: Lyr Req: Peg Leg Jack
Subject: RE: peg leg jack?
My dad used to sing this, esp. for us kids, when I was growing up and my mom has it on an old 78, it's on the flip side of Barnacle Bill the Sailor Man.

I called dad. He said if no one else came up with it, he was pretty sure he could remember most of the words. He's been thinking about adding it in to the mix he sings, so said he'd work on refreshing his memory this weekend.

I'll keep an eye on this thread and if it looks like I need to, I'll ring him back & get him to give them to me, then post them for you.

We always loved to hear this song; dad made it a lot of fun by rapping loudly on the table at the appropriate times. Somewhere there are lyrics about Pegleg giving a "Rap rap rap" upon somebody's door.
