Thread Name: Origins: Great American Bum
Subject: RE: Origins: Great American Bum
I'm writing a longish paper on Haywire Mac and pulling together all the bits of info I can find. I've got the Folkways recording and the British Archive of Country Songs CD etc., but I'd like to know what this line is all about:
... and packed the elusive prune
I suspect it's a slang term and nothing to do with actual prunes. Any ideas out there?
