And some anonymous record producer thinks that Natchez Under the Hill (where one of Jim Bludso's wives lived) is called Rat Cheese Under the Hill, and that's what the Clark Kessinger recording is titled.

There is also Nine Pints to Roguery, (or to oblivion, in my case).

Amazing Grace = A Maze Of Grapes. I heard this one requested at the Florida Folk Festival in 1975 at a singalong.

This was mis-typed not mis-heard. At our session we have some tunes that were copied and shared that include a typo that brings a laugh - Campbell's Farewell to Red Gag. We have a thread somewhere here discussing the mondegreen someone came up with for Mason's Apron. A super-search would probably find it.

The leader of our band suggested that we do "Relieve Me of all those Endearing Young Charms". (!)

I think I've posted this before, so apologies if you've already seen it.

I was asked for "Varnish Me Foreskin" (=Banish Misfortune) by a drunk at a session several years ago.

Also the "Clumsy Lover" became "Cecil Parkinson's Jig" at one long-running session for a while (this will appeal only to UK 'Catters)!

I'm sure I'll think of a few more after an ale or two!

All the best,

Thread creep in second posting is going some!

It's what the tunes become known as that amuses me. 'My love is but a lassie yet' has become known as 'That Gary Glitter Tune' at my session. Sorry, that's a little UKcentric for non Poms.
