Thread Name: Bawdy songs for women to sing
Subject: RE: Bawdy songs for women to sing
That's a really interesting thought, Genie. I can't think of any either.
Got me thinking though about my own relationship to some songs. When I first sang songs like, "Maids when you're Young..." I was 20 years old. Now I'm giving the advice from a far-off 66. It's the same for "Come all ye Fair and Tender Ladies." and lots more. Actually struck me about 10 years ago in the middle of "Old Maid in the Garret". I came to "...now I'm forty-five and I've never had an offer" I thought -- Wasn't I 25, and 45 seemed far away, just the other day? Lucky I have my True-love with me still.
Sorry -- I'm wandering.
I'll think about your idea and see if any song comes to mind.
Cheers, Grandma
