My dad would start saying this little ditty and then mumble when anyone got near but the part we heard had the
"...Maggies little red flannel drawers
for torty years they had been worn
oh those little red flannel drawers that Maggie wore..."
I would love to find out the author or words...my dad is claiming anmesia, I think because my mom is in the room.

He also has a great delivery for Sam Magee and these types of "poems". He was a logger and fisherman so I am sure they all had some pretty ribald tales.

I am looking for something on "Fair Hannah lived on a mountain top in a cold a dreary place - there was no dwelling for miles around but the one that her father bought" or something along those lines - again mumbling seemed to take over whenever we got near
