A friend of mine is interested in performing several rude songs and asked for some suggestions. I recalled hearing Triona from the Bothy Band singing "The Burnt Old Man". She discribed a very general outline, but wouldn't sing it in English because it was too rude.
The basic story: A fellow is not happy with his wife's skills as a lover and runs off to the big city (Dublin?) to sample the "sophisticated diversions" of urban life.
After a month in a bordello the whores send him home...a burnt old man with his tail and not much else between his legs.
I've searched for an English version without luck.
Do any of my fellow muddies know this song in English?
