Subject: RE: How many fallen women does it take?
Such an esoteric question! And if they fall in the forest, which side will the moss grow on? Inquiring minds may want to know.

Now I suppose the flight of Amelia Earhardt involved a fallen woman, at least when her plane plunged into the Pacific. There was another song about a cow that fell from the sky and sank a Japanese trawler, but that one's probably a stretch. There a traditional sea song about a female sailor who plunges to her death from the rigging, to the regret and subsequent amazement of all aboard.

Then there's "HARPER VALLEY PTA." See, I can play fair too.

How about songs about just crestfallen women?

Cheerily,
