Subject: RE: Lyr Req: There's a long long nail a winding
I used to sing that when I was a very young Kid.
They lyrics I used were
There is a long . long nail a grinding right into the sole of My shoe.
It digs a little deeper every mile or two.
There is a sweet sweet day a coming that I have been dreaming about.
It's the day when I can sit down and pull that damned nail out.

The other tune as we sang it was:
I'm Popeye the sailor man and I eat from the garbage can and I love to go swimming with Bow legged women and swim in between their knees.
There were MANY MORE BUT WE WERE JUST ORPHANAGE kids and I could not begin to tell you where I first heard them or why we were so thrilled as to sing those dumb tunes.
