21 Jan 08 - 08:29 AM (#2241201) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Four night drunk -Steeleye span From: EBarnacle In the early 70's, Oscar Brand did four nights drunk at a pier concert at South Street. I contributed the following: The other night when I got home, As drunk as I could be, I saw another man in bed, Where no man ought to be. I said unto my wife, I said unto she-- What's that man a doin' there, Where no man ought to be? She said: Ye damn fool, Ye stupid fool, As you can plainly see, 'Tis nothing but a bathtub, Me mother sent to me. Many miles have I travelled, A thousand miles or more, But such plumbing on a bathtub, I never saw before. Oscar began using it, attributing it to "Anon." Thus I entered the canon of trad and anon. |
