Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Farmer / Sweet Violets
Subject: Lyr Req: The Farmer
Looking for a bawdy old favorite that has titillated parlors for generations. It starts "There once was a farmer..." and proceeds in couplets to lead the listener to expect a dirty word at the end of every other line. "She lifted her skirts and she showed us her/ ruffles and laces..." Can anybody identify this and write it out for me?
