Thread Name: 'Unprintable Songs' (Randolph/Legman)
Subject: RE: 'Unprintable Songs'
Austranglish,

It's on page 26 of Ed Cray's anthology "The Erotic Muse". I don't have time to transcribe it for you right now, I'm afraid. It's not particularly dirty, actually. Cray's notes on the song read in part "This is one of the most beautiful of British love songs, delicately suggestive of the sexual, perhaps the most non-bawdy of the bawdy songs in this collection." There isn't a coarse word in the song, actually, and if there was a dirty version I think Cray would have it; he's not shy about printing all the true words to songs.

PM me if you'd like the lyrics -- I'll have time next week to type them for you.

Jerry
