GUEST,Anonymous | Lyr ADD: Crazy Old Man From China (47) | RE: Lyr Req: Crazy Old Man From China | 05 Mar 18 |
I heard this song performed in concert, probably in the 1980s, as "The Dirty Old Man from Fresno." (The performer had changed it to remove the anti-Chinese slur, which I fully approved of. It doesn't really matter to the song where the old man came from--it just needs two syllables. I kind of like the idea of replacing the placename with "Nowhere.") The performer also sang the English folksong it descended from, which I remember as "Old Shoes and Leggings." |
