It's got hair all around it like a turkey

I knew the song as the "Ball of Ballymuire".

OK, you asked for it. My step-father sang this in the
Merchant Marine. "Christopher Columbo".

"They sailed past San Salvador in search of shining booty,
A naked whore lay on the beach, my God she was a beauty.
The sailor boys jumped overboard divesting shirts and collars.
In fifteen minutes by the clock, she made ten-thousand dollars.

Christopher Columbo, He thought the world was round-O!
That masterbaiting, fornicating son-of-a bitch Columbo."

(There is
some truth in the sentiment since Columbus was a mass-murderer
and exterminated the Taino and the Arawak Indians in San Salvador.
Why they have Columbus Day in the States as a holiday I don't know.

Ah well, Adge Cutler decided to make it almost printable when he did his version of The Ball of Kerriemuir.

Being a Somerset lad, he changed the first verse to

Four and twenty maidens came down from Portishead
When the ball was over, the maidens lost their heads.

Funny how songs evolve...

To be funny enough for most audiences, a song has to imply, have double entendres or have the audience thinking one thing and the punch line is not lewd at all. Many entertainers can do this.

However, as this is about folk songs as we perceive them, I agree with a posting somewhere up the screen that says The Bonny Black Hare is a good song. It certainly isn't double meaning! Shows the minds of our great great great grandads...

Surprised no-one's mentioned "The Great Plenipotentiary", said to have been composed by an eighteenth-century military man. Sample verse:

"The next to be tried was an alderman's bride
Whose cunt would have swallowed a turtle;
She had horn'd the dull brows of her worshipful spouse
Till they sprouted like Venus's myrtle;
But he rammed her so full she roar'd out like a bull,
And her cunt frothed like cream in a dairy
So tight was she stuck by that wonderful fuck
Of the great Plenipotentiary"

To the tune of "Sean Buidhe"

Date: 06 Nov 08 - 08:48 AM

Bold Sir John (from Two Ronnies sketch)

Oh Bold Sir John was young and fair, and Bold Sir John was gay
He said "I'll tread the morning dew, to take the air and listen to
The twittering of the birds all day, the bumble bees at play"
The twit…The twit…The twit…The twit…, the twittering of the birds all day
The bum… The bum… The bum… The bum…, the bumble bees at play

So Bold Sir John he went his way, observing natures farce
"Dear mother earth oh tell me pray, why elephants live so long they say
Your flies live but a day then they, drop dead upon the grass"
Your flies… Your flies… Your flies… Your flies…, your flies live but a day then they
Drop dead… Drop dead… Drop dead… Drop dead…, drop dead upon the grass

Now Bold Sir John he met a maid, as on her back she lay
"Please show respect and come not near, for I've seen may a maiden here
Get lost among the new mown hay, so doff your hat I pray"
Get lost… Get lost… Get lost… Get lost…, get lost among the new mown hay
So doff… So doff… So doff… So doff…, so doff your hat I pray

When Bold Sir John return-ed home, they gave him gin to try,
"Nay fill me not with liquor up, nor give me grain nor grape to sup,
Pour cowslips dew into my cup, a puritan am I"
Pour cow… Pour cow… Pour cow… Pour cow…, Pour cowslips dew into my cup
A pu… A pu… A pu… A pu…, A puritan am I

I was stationed on a submarine tender on Guam in 1965-66; Since then I've always had a weakness for "Didn't She Ramble", as recorded by Oscar Brand. "She", in this case, is "Miss VD of Guam". The first time I tried to find the lyric online, all I could find was references to the obscenity trial that ensued when the record came out. It's definitely eligible for the list.

I once heard a mock-Irish song, to the tune of "Turkey in the Straw," I think, the last two lines of the chorus being,
"Try to get a woman, get a woman if you can,
If you can't get a woman, get a clean old man!"

Ms. Easby's take is quite to the point. Much of this thread deals with juvenile, sophomorish, sniggering, pre-pubescent and crude material - which is exactly why so many of us responded to it, I'm sure.
