Richie
Here's a short one recorded by Lomaxes:
SHOUT LITTLE LULU
A whole heap of nickels and a whole heap of dimes
A-going to see my Lulu gal a whole heap of times
Shout, Little Lulu, shout your best
Your old grandmother's in hell I guess
I'd give a nickel and I'd give a dime
To see my Lulu gal cut a monkeyshine
Source: Duncan Emrich 'American Folk Poetry: An Anthology' Little, Brown and Co p 64. Recorded by Alan and Elizabeth Lomax from the singing, with banjo accompaniment, by Pete Steele at Hamilton, Ohio, 1938. Library of Congress record LP21.
I have some info on Dink Roberts' 'Roustabout' which I will post for you tomorrow.
