Thread Name: Lyr Req: One Meatball / Lone Fish-Ball
Subject: ONE MEATBALLL
I am still looking for the lyrics to One Meatball. Its not really a "Folk Song" but an old vaudeville tune. However it was part of Josh White's repertoire and was part of Dave Van Ronk's repertoire for a long time. I haven't heard Van Ronk sing it in the past 15 years or so (which doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't do it) but I did hear Josh White Jr. do it last year. I just can't seem to remember all the words at the same time. It doesn't seem to be in the data base; and trying "One Fishball" as suggested didn't help either. Anyone know the tune who can help with the words?
