Thread Name: Lyr Add: Tom Bolynn (3)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Tom Bolynn (3)
I'm not familiar with the song, and when I saw the thread title I assumed the song would have something to do with one of history's most notable sociual climbers, Thomas Bolynn, who pimped out his two daughters Mary and Anne to Henry VIII.

Thanks to Dad's greed and ambtion (among many other things), Anne eventually got her head chopped off. I'm not sure how Mary ended up.

Could there be any connection, satrirical or otherwise? Or is it nothing more than pure coincidence that the song title happens to be the name of an interesting historical figure?
