The first line of your song, Beeliner, reminded me of another song sung by the same informant: THE DOUKHOBOR GIRLS Well you've heard about the New York girls with all their flair and flash Of the frisky girls from 'Frisco you've been told And the fame of France's daughters has been heard on all the waters And the English girls are worth their weight in gold To ramble with a Scottish lassie's just like being in heaven Some like an Irish colleen on their knee But you give me a Doukhobor girl and you can have the rest If she's not a Doukhobor she's no good for me. Chorus Oh the Doukhobor girls are goad enough for me They are sweeter than the cherries on the tree They are just the dandy dears, I've been lovin' them all for years Oh the Doukhobor girls are good enough for me (Ch. #2 + 3: Now the..) Well I know a lot of fellows very fond of foreign blood They rave about that Asiatic charm Some think there's nothing finer than to love the girl from China Or to hold an Ethiopian in their arms Some fellows are never happy unless they're flirting with a Jappy Or dangling a Spaniard on their knee But you give me a Doukhobor girl and you can have the rest If she's not a Doukhobor she's no good for me. Chorus Well I have got a Doukhobor girl she is my very own She simply is the sunlight of my life And last night in the moonlight as we wandered all alone She promised me that she would be my wife And out behind the chicken-coop last night at ten to ten I never thought such happiness could be When she said she would be mine oh the utmost bliss became divine When I kissed her she says Joe you're the sheik for me. Chorus Jon Bartlett
