The following is from our GUEST, who I e-mailed to invite back to the 'Cat to see what's come in. --Praise"I remember my uncle singing these lines to us, trying to occupy us on a trip. The song or poem (?) I am looking for contains the following lines:
Oh, I went to see my Susan,
She met me at the door(gate)..
Now Susan quit your foolin
and give your love to me
--or give me back my 50 cents
and I will let you be. ..
Her face was like a frying pan,
her nose was long and thin.
Now good by Susan Jane---
I tried to follow what you sent me and looked up Bradley Kincaid... No luck! Cecil Sharp..zero. Jean Thomas' book "Devils Ditty's... nada.
Where else can I look? I stumbled on Mudcat, and was a first time visitor. Thanks for replying."
