Amazing -- I learned en entirely different set of words to that song way gack then. Lemme see what I can reconstruct from memory...


I was courting a girl about twenty-three
She promised she would have a baby fo' me
When de chile was born an' I go to see,
Its eyes were blue! It was a Portuguee!

Not me, it's de people who say
Dat the man is leading de woman astray
But I say that the woman of today
Smahter than the man in every way.

That's right! The woman is (ooh!) smarter (3x)
That's right!

Samson was a strong man long ago
No-one could beat him as we all know
'Til he clash with Delilah on top of a bed
An' told her his strengt' was in de hair on his head!

Dat's right! etc.

Another one which I learned long ago is the WOAD song which I was delighted to hear Bert sing on Mudcat Radio lasdt year. I believe it is in the DT.
