MartinNail	Origin: Sipping Cider Through a Straw (45)	RE: Origin: Sipping Cider Through a Straw	05 Nov 20
The Wikipedia article: Sipping Cider Through a Straw seems to include a reasonable summary of the state of knowledge about the song's origin: "Sipping Cider Through a Straw" is a folk song of uncertain origin. A minstrel song titled "Sucking Cider Thro' a Straw", with words and music attributed to W. Freear, was published in 1894 by White-Smith in the United States; this composition may be the origin of the folk song, or may owe its own origin to the folk song.
