John M. Lyr Add: 'Ports of Call' a traditional bawdy song (4) Lyr Add: 'Ports of Call' a traditional bawdy song 19 Mar 05


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 song titled: "Ports of Call" aka Spanish Guitar  (recording).

This song shares some elements with the Spanish Guitar and Follow the Band found in the Digital Tradition database.  Also see Snuffy's chorus for Sweet Violets which shares the playing on a Spanish Guitar.

 


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

 

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

SPANISH GUITAR (aka Ports of Call)

Oh, the next port of call was Aden, Aden,
Where the girls didn't shag, but we made 'em.
 

Chorus:

Ten dollars a day, for a bunk-up each way,
And a tune on my Spanish guitar, singing:
Hi-jiggy-jiggy, fuck a little pig sideways, 
My idea of a woman is a big brown ass  (shit bag)
Ten dollars a day, for a bunk-up each way,
And a tune on my Spanish guitar.

The next port of call was London
Where the girls didn't shag, so we bummed 'em

The next next port of call we were waiting
So we found us a girl that liked fellating.

The next port of call was Harro
Where the girls would only fuck in a barrow.

The next port of call was Wiggum
Where all the girls had real biggun's.

Oh, the next port of call was Lake Como
[falsetto] Where I spent all the night with a homo

The next port of call was Bombay
Where the girls shag but it was all day [?]

The next port of call was Deli
Where the girls wouldn't let come on their belly.
