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.
