Subject: RE: Trad. American Drinking Songs?
How about a barbershop song?
"Saloon", "Saloon", "Saloon". It runs through my head like a tune. I don't like cafe and I hate cabaret, but just mention "saloon" and my cares fade away. For it brings back a fond recollection Of a little old low-ceilinged room With a bar and a rail and a foam-bedecked pail... "Saloon", "Saloon", "Saloon".
From the wonderful Yale Songbook, if I remember correctly.
