Subject: Lyr Add: BOIL THEM CABBAGE DOWN
Sorry, had a senior moment !

Some of the verses to "Bile them..." seem to float between it and "Old Joe Clark" A few of the scurrilous ones I've heard include:

Wouldn't marry an old maid
Tell you the reason why
She'd blow her nose in cold corn bread
And call it Pumpkin Pie !

Took my gal to a blacksmith shop
To have her mouth made small
She turned around a time or two
And swallowed shop and all

Bought my gal a brand new watch
She swallowed it one day
Now she's in the old outhouse
A passin' time away
