Hello everyone,

If you are easily offended, please STOP READING.   This thread is for mature audiences only.  Please don't post "dreadful song" or "worst song written" as you are not helping. 

Below is a traditional bawdy parody titled: "Silver Thread Among the Gold" or "Garter Fixer" (see texts below)

Do you sing this song?  If so when/where did you learn it? 

Would you agree that this parody is derived from the song Oh, No John (see references in this thread).

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

SILVER HAIR AMONGST THE GOLD

Darling, let me touch your garter
Just an inch above your knee
If by chance my hand should wander
Do not put the blame on me
For the hairs round yours are silver
And the hairs round mine are gold
Let us work the two together
Silver hairs amongst the gold
