Subject: Surprises when you read the lyrics to a song!
I learned Down in the willow garden, Ommie Wise,and The House Carpenter on the fiddle. WONDERFUL tunes. So I thought, hey lets learn the words. The first two are about murdered women and the last is about a women who goes to hell for adultery with a spirit!!!!! Gee, does it count if it's with a spirit? Anyway, my point is you never know what you'll find in these old songs. Imagine my surprise when I looked-up the lyrics for the Cukcoos Nest! Look it up folks, I don't make 'em up! I actually did get a good laugh out of that one. Now, since I have a friend in the UK who told me what a "fanny" is across the Atlantic I'm almost afraid to look up the lyrics for "Fanny Power." All you folks across the Atlantic KNOW what I'm talking about. Good for laughs though, keep 'em coming! Yours in strange and dirty lyrics, NAN
