Thread Name: Lyr Req: Soap and Water Blues (Washboard Sam)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Soap & Water Blues
With minor changes, that's reasonably close to the Washboard Sam version I have. Sam has her shaped like a 'frog' though in the first line. Is this a complementary song to the 'Darn Good Girl For the Shape's She's In' in the white tradition? The attribution on the Washboard Sam is to him (Robert Brown).
