Subject: RE: Origins: One Meatball - blues song
for Ron Turton
A man was walking up and down to find a place where he could dine in town. He found himself a gorgeous place and entered in with stately grace. He took his purse, his pocket hence, but all he found was fifteen ce-e-ents. He scanned the menu through and through to see what fifteen cents would do-oo-oo.
The only thing 'twould do at all was purchase one lowly meatball. He called the waiter down the hall and softly whispered "one meat ball". ======== After that I don't know how it went. I sang this in high school, and the melody surprised me because it was rather pretty, not bluesy at all.
