Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'the vinegar's mother was dead'
Subject: Lyr Req: Folk song or poem
Hi,

I"m trying to remember the words to a song or poem my dad used to recite. Part of it was "the potatoes are crying their eyes out, the vinegar's mother is dead." It was full of little puns about stuff in the root cellar. Obscure, I'm sure, but it was cute and it's driving me nuts that I didn't pay better attention before he was gone. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
