from email:
Dear Joe, I can’t find the words to a song I heard in the 1940’s or 1950’s. It goes:
I was born in a barrel house Out behind a hill When the revenues Found my pappy’s still. Now I gotta ramble Ramble everywhere Me and my partner Old cane bottom chair.
Dump ta deedle, dump ta deedle Dump te dum My fingers tapping out A rumpty dum Bacon on the fire 80 cents a pound Better eat rabbit ‘Til the meat comes down.
I can’t find it on the web. Can you? See you on Zoom tonight! Louise
