My dad used to sing this "scandalous" song

WHEN PA

When pa, When pa
When pa was a little boy like me
He used to go in swimmin', in swimmin'

He used to go 'way up the creek
Where there was no fear of women, of women

One day, one day,
One day some people came along
And stole my pa's apparel, apparel

He stayed in the water all day lo-oo-ong
And that night came home in a barrel, a barrel

A BIG....ROUND....WOODEN.......BARREL!!

He would build tension on the last line, the grab me on the word "barrel".

Anyone else have this experience?
