Subject: RE: Traditional Songs related to Abuse/Bully
Ted, there are a lot of songs written about child abuse today.
I've heard them but not taken them in. I'd be interested to know what Mudcatters come up with.

Bully of the Town isn't exactly about child abuse but I bet a re-write could be done on it.

"I have seen the bully, the bully of the school,
I have seen the bully, and he's acting like a fool,
We don't need the bully of the school.

When the school bell rings it's call
The bully's waiting in the hall.
I can tell, he' raising hell
And knocking kids against the wall."

Anyway, something like that. It's a good topic to write and find new songs about.
