I've made several attempts to post this to the "RE: Lyr Add: 'Uncle Bud' Obscene Southern US Song" thread without success (hope it doesn't eventually result in multiple postings). Trying again:

"Race" records were able to get away with more innuendo than most others in the 78 rpm era. There were some humdingers, like Bo Carter's many songs -- "Banana in the Fruit Basket," etc.

The married duo of Leola and Wesley Wilson were a stage act known for their "blue" songs. We can assume their stage version got dirtier depending on the venue. They made lots of other records!   

This version of the traditional "Uncle Bud" is far from being their most suggestive song, in fact it's pretty mild. Their rewrite, changing the characters and creating their own verses, was evidently aimed at creating a copyrightable, distinct version that would be associated with them and nobody else.    Bob

UNCLE JOE

Leola B. Wilson and Kid Wesley Wilson (as COOT GRANT AND SOCKS WILSON) Paramount 12833 (also on QRS label), c. Feb 1929

Uncle Joe's got a horse flies through his field,
Horseflies from his tail like an automobile,
    Uncle Joe, good Uncle Joe

Uncle Joe took Sal through the market square,
She saw a hog, just start to rootin' right there,
    Uncle Joe, mean Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joe is a man just full of vim,
Ain't no man can paddle by him,
    Uncle Joe, sweet Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joe take a bath once every fall,
Cain't wash all over 'cause the tub too small,
    Uncle Joe, old Uncle Joe

    Ow de yow, yow, yow de yow yow etc. (scatting)

Uncle Joe, says, gal, what you got on yo' mind?
Ain't had no lovin' in a long, long time,
    Uncle Joe, sweet ol' Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joe went to call on Betty['s?] Bone,
He was too much man, so she sent him on home,
    Uncle Joe, good ol' Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joe sells cotton bale by bale,
He'll [hang a sign says?' Seeds For Sale,
    Uncle Joe, sweet Uncle Joe

Uncle Joe's no fool, he knows everything,
All the gals said Joe can sho' shake that thing,
    Uncle Joe, sweet Uncle Joe.
