John M.	Lyr Add: 'Uncle Bud' Obscene Southern US Song (45)	RE: Lyr Add: 'Uncle Bud' Obscene Southern US Song	05 Mar 05
Uncle Bud DESCRIPTION: "Oh, Uncle Bud goin' down the road, Haulin' women by the wagon load, Uncle Bud (x3), Bud, Doggone it, Uncle Bud." About Uncle Bud's odd exploits, sexual anatomy, and extravagant farming methods, as well as poverty and perhaps the hope for salvation AUTHOR: unknown EARLIEST DATE: 1928 (recording, Gid Tanner & his Skillet Lickers) KEYWORDS: humorous drink death sex bawdy FOUND IN: US REFERENCES (1 citation): MWheeler, pp. 95-97, "Uncle Bud" (1 text, 1 tune) Roud #10035 RECORDINGS: Anonymous singer, "Uncle Bud" (on Unexp1) Grant & Wilson, "Uncle Joe" (QRS, 1929) (Decca, 1938) Booker T. Sapps, "Uncle Bud" (AFS 370 A1, 370 A2, 1935) Gid Tanner & his Skillet Lickers, "Uncle Bud" (on Columbia 15221-D, 1928) Notes: Most versions of this song are bawdy, to a greater or lesser extent. A Texas variant, recorded by the anonymous singer on Unexp1, recounts stories about Uncle Bud Russell, who was in charge of transporting prisoners to the state prison at Huntsville -- but the song clearly existed in tradition before then, and was adapted to local use. - PJS `File: MWhee095` The Ballad Index Copyright 2004 by Robert B. Waltz and David G. Engle.
