Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'Biography of a Fly' Trad. Bawdy Song
My great grandfathers in Rodeo, CA sang the Fly song & Old Dan Tucker to my mother in the 1920’s. My mother taught us his songs & I taught them to my own children. The lyrics are a little different & our family’s version is shorter.
The fly flew in to the grocery store and he thhh on the window & he thhh on the floor. He thhh on the sugar and he thhh on the ham. And he didn’t give a damn for the grocery man,
