Thread Name: Origins: Poor Old Woman/Housewife's Lament
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Poor Old Woman
Melissa, when I searched mudcat, here is the song I came up with (just part, since Jim Dixon posted it all).

Housewife's Lament (O-Roy-O)

Come and listen, let me tell you about my darling Andy,
He's tall and fair and slightly randy;
At drinking porter he is quite handy [CLAP, CLAP, CLAP]
He loves me like a devil on a Sunday!

Cho.-
O-roy-o and a diddle-lum dandy,
I want a man who can tickle my fancy,
etc.,

Housewife's Lament

Seems to me there is a slight difference.

OK, OK, there are several songs with that title and I found the wrong one when I looked in Mudcat.
