I hope this isnt already out in the db somewhere but i couldnt see it.... - then again, i don't know the title.
heard this one last week, sung by people who usually do american folk but i don't know much about this one - the refrain is jennifer, jenny, rosemary, and the story is about a wife who doesnt make a husband is dinner. In response he kills a sheep, ties its hide to her back and beats it with a stick, because while beating your wife is wrong it is perfectly alright to tan a hide.
I really liked it and wondered if anyone else knows it...?
cheers
