Subject: RE: Origins: Child Ballads: US Versions Part 5
The jazz version by Tom Archia- Cabbage Head part 2 has the word, "voutieoreenie" in the famous rolling pin verse-- I couldn't undertand what "Doc" Jo Jo Adams was singing. Here's the verse with my footnote:
She said, "Be 'shamed you fool, you drunken old fool, Well honey can't you see? That ain't nothin' but a rolling pin, That your grandpa made for me.
I said, "I've travelled this world for many miles, And I hope to travel some more. But I'll be dogged if I ever saw a rolling pin, With a voutieoreenie on it before. [1]
1. usually it's: balls on it. In this case Luigi Monge and David Evans have "voutieoreenie" what ever that it- haha.
