TOM DIXON
(from the singing of Willis Norrad)
(Doerflinger - 'Songs of the Sailor and Lumberman - page 251)

Tom Dix-on runs a cat-house way down on Har-low Street.
And if you are a lum-ber hog, it's friends there you'll meet.
The gals are not so pret-ty, but I guess they're not so slow,
And if you are a lumber hog they'll help you spend your dough.

Chorus:
Good-bye, Al-ice, I'm go-ing, I'm go-ing far a-way,
I'm going to the North-east Car-ry, to make an oth=er pay;
My coin was made for blow-ing; girl-ie, it's up to you
You can go back to old Fan's, you can join the old whore band,
Oh, Al-ice, good bye, I'm go-ing.



Is this all that exists of this? I couldn't find anything on the net that didn't refer back to Doerflinger - nor anything on Fan Jones - who was a rival of Tom Dixon.
