Thanks for any help you can give him. Seamus When I was a young man in the 1940's I worked in the woods and mines of British Columbia. It was there I first came across the Ballad of Dan Mcgraw, The only version I ever heard was the rude version.The only bit I remember is "there on the floor with his arse all tore laid dangerous dan mcgraw" if you know where I can get a copy I would be grateful. I am now 80 but have fantastic memories of B.C. and the Yukon, Prince Rupert in particular. Alex Mitchell |
09 May 08 - 05:14 PM (#2336785) Subject: Lyr Add: DANGEROUS DAN MCGREW (bawdy version) From: GUEST,The Mole Catcher's unplugged Apprentice I think this what you might be looking for..... *LOL* Danerous Dan McGrew This is a story of downfall and shame The end in Alaska of a very proud name The boys were all drinking and talking of ass Of virgins and whores and rolls in the grass. Of fairies and cocksmen and old moby dick Who drove the girls crazy with a wart on his prick Now over all this commotion In the corner sparks flew For there on the floor, on top of a whore, Lay Dangerous Dan McGrew. And out of the night as black as a bitch, And into the din and the smoke, Came shady old prick right up from the crick, With a rusty old load in his poke. He rolled out his cock to display to the flock And every asshole squirmed He drew from his belt a big bag of gold And laid it down with a grin He turned to the crowd and said in a loud voice: "I've come to give Dangerous Dan a choice. "This gold is for pleasure and I'm here to say "I'll spend every nickel for one damned good lay "So here's the deal straight and neat "That girl you're on Dan or you in the seat" A hush still as death came o'er that place And the only smile seen was on the face Of that old weezened stranger named Ace The crowd sat and waited for Dan to get through And the matter at hand between the two "You'll not touch the girl while I'm still on hand." Said the stranger, "Then it's your ass Dangerous Dan." The crowd made clearing as the circle round Each eyeing the other but neither gave ground The lights went out, I ducked to the floor, And the stranger sprang in the dark. His aim was true And the sparks they flew When his donnicker found its mark. Mid might and main and screams of pain And a man's voice was heard in the room There were sighs and moans and farts and groans, And three bodies lay stacked in the gloom Then a moan of delight mingled with pain A scream, then a moan, again and again The crowd was astounded as the lights were lit And showed two men locked together all covered with shit A figure arose from the two locked together Staggered out of the bar and into the weather With a satisfied look on his pan. For there on the floor, With his asshole tore, Lay poor old Dangerous Dan. Charlotte R |

The Faro Kid had his hand on the box of a lady known as Lou, And there on the floor, on top of a whore, was dangerous Dan McGrew When out of the night as black as a bitch and into the din and smoke Came a shaky old prick right up from the crick with a rusty old load in his poke He elbowed his way through the flea bitten crowd with his hand at the crotch of his pants He looked like a man with a dose of the clap and the last stages of St. Vitus Dance His britches were split and covered with spit; it looked like the white of an egg His balls hung low and swung too and fro every time he moved a leg His face was as red as a baboon's ass as the passion within him burned He rolled out his cock to display to the flock, and every asshole squirmed The lights went out. I ducked to the floor. The stranger sprang in the dark His aim wag true and the sparks they flew as the donicker found its mark The wind it blew and the shit it flew as I looked around the room There were sighs and moans and farts and groans, and six bodies Lay stacked in the gloom The lights case on and the stranger arose with a satisfied look on his pan; And there on the floor with his asshole tore Lay poor old corn-holed Dan That is from http://www.horntip.com/html/books_&_MSS/1960s/1962ca_shitty_songs_of_sigma_chi_(mimeo)/index.htm |

25 Sep 16 - 05:33 PM (#3811301) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dangerous Dan McGrew-naughty version From: GUEST,old gen Hi I am looking for a poem. My father use to say only part of it when I was growing up saying that he would say all of it when I came of age. But allais he passes away. He called it the legend of dan mcgrew. This is what I remember of it: "Took a slice at the gut and cut off a nut of the dangerous Dan Mcgrew" "Now he sits in the hall with his only ball,and dreams of days gone bye" "When he use to tittle with a cunt so brittle and wipes a tear from his eye" |
28 Dec 16 - 05:12 PM (#3829219) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dangerous Dan McGrew-naughty version From: GUEST,Aprilfool3 Back in the early 1970s I was in the Army with an old warrant officer who had spent some time in Alaska. Here is his version of "The Ballad of Dangerous Dan McGrew": A bunch of us lads was hoopin' up at one of the Yukon halls. The boy who plays the music box was viciously scratching his balls. Faro Jim had his mitts in the quim of some ol' babe name of Lou, And there on the floor on top of a whore lay Dangerous Dan McGrew. When out of the night as black as a bitch and into the din and smoke Came a crusty ol' prick just up from the crick with dusty ol' load in his poke. As he shouldered his way through the flea-bitten crowd he clutched at the crotch of his pants. He looked like a man with a dose of the clap in last stages of St. Vitus dance. His britches were split and covered with spit. They looked like the white of an egg. His balls hung low. They swung to and fro each time that he moved his leg. His face was as red as a baboon's arse and the passion within him burned. He broke out his jock to display to the flock and everyone's arsehole squirmed. In his tattered old clothes he was ready to hose any bitch the got in his way. He dangled his dong in his calloused palm and screamed that he wanted to play. The lights went out! As I ducked to the floor, the stranger sprang in the dark. His aim was true, the sparks they flew, his donniger found its mark. With farts and moans and blood-curdlin' groans three figures were stacked in the gloom. With farts and moans and blood-curdlin' groans a man's shrieks filled the room. The lights came on. The stranger arose with a satisfied look on his pan. And there on the floor with his arsehole tore lay poor ol' cornholed Dan. |

30 Dec 19 - 01:18 PM (#4025513) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Dangerous Dan McGrew-naughty version From: Lighter According to Paul Gifford's source, Roy Hoffmayer of Atlanta, Mich., the bawdy poem was known to lumberjacks in northern Michigan as early as 1918. That makes sense, since Robert Service published the original version in 1907, and it quickly became popular. YouTube once had a wonderful video of Service reciting his own poem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zESPCjTN-6k but all I get now is a black screen. |
