This is from a telephone "field recording" of John Frushour. He learned this in the early 1950's at Indiana University.

Hanna, My Delta Gamma

Hanna, my Delta Gamma,
She's got a figure like a baby grand piana
She's not so nifty, she weighs two fifity,
But fat girls now and then are relished by the best of men.

Oh Hanna, my Delta Gamma,
I put my arms around as far as they will go, go, go,
Oh, I don't care for pretty faces,
All I want is Hanna's graces,
Hanna my Delta Gamma!

You can listen to a low quality public domain mp3 of the song here: http://tinyurl.com/5nhky (61KB)

This song is very rare. I have only found one reference to on the net (See here: http://tinyurl.com/4okf3). I interviewed the window of the Paul Schifferli the author of that online book. She confirmed the tune and remembered some of the lyrics (Listen here: http://tinyurl.com/4ovof (57KB)).

If you wish to use any of these mp3s on mudcat, I have made it public domain and John Frushour & Deborrah Schefferli have both agrred to the public domain issuance of these recordings.

Sincerely,

John Patrick Mehlberg
