Hello everyone,

Below is a traditional mildly ribald sorority song titled:  'Take Your Man Around The Corner'  (recording)

                Do you sing this song?  If so when/where did you learn it?

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

TAKE YOUR MAN AROUND THE CORNER  (recording)
(Tune - I've Been Working On The Railroad)

Take your man around the corner
Where the lights are low
Put you left hand on his shoulder
And your right hand way down low
When he starts to shake and quiver and raise his voice in glee
Tell him that's the secret handshake of the good old Delta G.

Notes:

This was recorded 14 April 2005 as sung by an anonymous member of the Delta Gamma sorority.  A text of this song is in Ed Cray's Erotic Muse pg. 354 to the tune of 'Wake the Town and Tell the People'.  

A variant of this song with an unknown tune is found on the Richard A Reuss college songs field recording in the Archive of Tradition music under the title 'Just Put Her in the Corner' and is discussed on pgs. 44-45 of Reuss' master's thesis 'An Analytical Survey of College Songs from Oral Tradition'.
