Thread Name: Misheard folk song lyrics
Subject: RE: Misheard folk song lyrics
Remembering the story told by Colum Sands at our local folk club, re the young lady in the Netherlands who asked him to song that well-known Irish song about the hairy tongue. He said he just couldn't think what she meant, even after her remonstrations that surely everyone knew it: until....."You know.... And her hairy tongue over her shoulder, Tied up with a black velvet band."!
