Subject: sailor maid From: Nick Scaife Date: 04 Dec 97 - 11:40 AM We heard a couple of Canadian girls many years ago sing a song which went roughly: One fine summers day a sailor went walking Eventually, the maid has her wicked way with the sailor, not the other way around, but no one seems to have heard of this song. Can anyone help its driving me barmy. Help............................... |

Subject: RE: broken token sailor maid walkikng From: Ted from Australia Date: 07 Dec 97 - 02:32 AM I think that mayhap your Canadian ladies did a little fiddling with the words. One broken token song involving a sailor having his wicked way then leaving the girl in the lurch is:"Dark Eyed Sailor".check it out your missing song may be a parody If you want one where the sailor comes off the worse you need go no further than "Quare Bungle Rye" the sailor is left holding the baby.
