Subject: RE: Origins: Slough-foot Sue? / Slewfoot Sue
Mom sang it to us kids in the 1950's. I think she must have learned it as a child.

There once was a girl I knew
Her name was Slue-Foot-Sue
She's chief engineer at the shirt tail laundry
Down by the riverside view
Her name was all she had
A face like a soft shell crab
A stiff upper lip like the rudder of a ship
Oh, boy! She sure looked sad
