GUEST,Felipa Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians (30) RE: Joe Glazer - Ballads for Sectarians 20 Mar 21


The link Joe Offer gave for part of Bill Bailey, The Ultimate Sectarian no longer works. I heard it on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAjRLLa5YFE

I learned "My Darling Party Line" in my youth because my father had a "Ballad for Sectarians" song booklet. Of course I already knew the Darling Clementine tune. You can also find that trackof Ballads for Sectarians on you tube. It's about the 1939 Hitler - Stalin pact.

My Darling Party Line

In ol' Moscow, in the Kremlin,
In the fall of thirty nine
Sat a Russian and a Prussian
Writing out the party line

Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling party line
Oh, I never will desert you
For I love this life of mine

Leon Trotsky was a Nazi,
Oh, we knew it for a fact.
Pravda said it, we all read it
Before the Stalin-Hitler Pact

Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling party line
Oh, I never will desert you
For I love this life of mine

Once a Nazi would be shotsy
That was then the party line
Now a Nazi's hotsy-totsy,
Trotsky's laying British mines

Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling party line
Oh, I never will desert you
For I love this life of mine

Now the Nazis and Der Fuehrer
Stand within the party line
All the Russians love the Prussians
Volga boatmen sail the Rhine

Oh my darling, Oh my darling,
Oh my darling party line
Oh, I never will desert you
For I love this life of mine
