Subject: RE: Don't Sel Daddy Anymore Whisky
The song you are asking about was recorded by Phyllis Boyens on Rounder 162. I don't think it is available anymore, but I could be wrong. Boyens is quite remarkable, she is the daughter of noted folk singer Nimrod Workman (one of thirteen children) and also played Loretta Lynn's mother in A Coal Miner's Daughter.

Closest other song that I can come up with is Please Don't Sell My Pappy No More Rum, by Clayton McMichen in his post Skilletlicker days. I'm afraid I can't come up with all the words, though. I had it on a blue label Decca 78 long ago.

Please don't sell my Pappy no more rum, I'm afeared he'll come home drunk and whup mommie and me . . . (I know, dreadful sentiment there)
