Subject: RE: Origins: Slough-foot Sue? / Slewfoot Sue
How funny!

I'm 65 and My dad used to sing this song when I was a kid. I think he sang it in college. This is his version:

Oh, we love that gal we do,
And they call her Slew-foot Sue,
She's the chief engineer at the steam laundry,
Down by the riverside, down by the riverside,
A form was all she had,
She had a face like a soft shell crab,
And early in the morning,
She'd tussle with her bustle,
And the boys all called her ...
Bad, bad, biddly-bad, Shhhhhhhh
