Didn't want to put this in the Song Challenge thread, and I don't know if it's in the DT 'cos I don't know what it's called, but this is a brief Corries ditty.

On the bosom of young Abigail
is written the price of her tale (tail?).
And on her behind
for the use of the blind
is the same information in braille.

Allan

Definitely 'tail', Allan - she was a 'professional lady'. It's simply called 'Abigail' and was recorded for 'Live at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, Edinburgh' (1971), though I have it on a later compilation. The above are indeed the full lyrics, credited to Trad.
