My dad used to sing me this silly song and I only know one verse. I seem to recall him saying that an older man that he worked with sang it. Here is what I know or remember: I vent to town to find me a vife A risity rasity now now now She proved to be the mistake of my life A risity rasity, iginintasity niggity naggity now now now My dad grew up in west central Wisconsin and lived there all his life except for a brief stint in the army where he was at Fort Lewis in Washington State. He was born in 1936 and died in 1983. I have always been curious about this song and would like to know if there are more verses. I seem to remember Dad saying that the fellow who he heard it from originally sang more verses but he didn't know anymore. Thanks for your help!
