We must have been naughty boys too, for we used to sing The North Atlantic Squadron and Barnacle Bill the Sailor. I think they were old navy songs kids had overheard their vet dads singing when in their cups. Certainly the lyrics contain references to activities that good children should not know about.

Does anyone have the full lyrics to My Dog Jack? I can only remember the first verse. I don't know the name of the tune but it sounds to me like a southern fiddle tune.

Had a little dog, his name was Jack
He shit all over the railway track
Train came by, the shit flew high
And hit the conductor right in the eye

For the person who mentioned the song or rhyme about the knight and ladies, I believe it went:

In days of old when knights were bold
And safes were not invented;
They'd put their socks upon their cocks
Thus babies were prevented.
