GUEST,BluesBob Bawdy songs question (31) RE: Bawdy songs question 23 Apr 15

Thanks for your comment. I identified the song with Ethel Waters as there are other versions by Alberta Hunter, etc. and sometimes the lyrics are slightly different.

"My HandyMan" has the richest array of references to sex. For a few of the references I some help at "Sex-Lexis.com", but the focus there is on more contemporary language and nor pre-war blues.

Thanks again for your comments!
