Subject: Origins: When pa
My dad used to sing this "scandalous" song
WHEN PA
When pa, When pa When pa was a little boy like me He used to go in swimmin', in swimmin'
He used to go 'way up the creek Where there was no fear of women, of women
One day, one day, One day some people came along And stole my pa's apparel, apparel
He stayed in the water all day lo-oo-ong And that night came home in a barrel, a barrel
A BIG....ROUND....WOODEN.......BARREL!!
He would build tension on the last line, the grab me on the word "barrel".
