Subject: RE: Songs your parents didn't allow
Azizi, that's a great version of "Old Shoes and Leggings". We've never seen it before. Thank you. My American husband learned the more usual version in the 60s from a record by a Maine lumberjack. Interestingly my True-love substitutes your "peed in the sink" line when he can. The way he learned it was "fell in the sink".

No songs were banned in our place except by me. I don't recall trying to sing anything offensive though. I was a little tyrant when I was little and I have always hated baby-talk songs - songs with choo-choos, baa-lambs, moo-cows and the like. I refused to have them around me. I've never liked "Froggy Went a'Courtin'" type songs either. Shape-changers OK though. Very OK!
