JOHN TAYLOR
(Dick Palfreyman [informant])

My name is John Taylor;
My c--- is a whaler;
My balls weight forty-five pounds;
If you see any ladies
Who want to have babies,
Just tell them John Taylor is in town!

My name is John Taylor;
My c--- is a whaler;
My balls weight fort-five pounds;
I'll catch Mrs. Hammer
And f--- her, God damn her,
And pin her old a-- to the ground!

My name is John Taylor;
My c--- is a whaler;
My balls weight forty-five pounds;
I say, in beginning,
Look out for your women,
When they hear that John Taylor is in town!
