Subject: Nasty Operation Blues
"The Nasty Operation Blues", recorded by Big Bill Broonzy, and, supposedly by Homer Clemons and the Texas Swingbillies. I heard it from Magpie (Terry Leonino and Greg Artzner(sp?)).

Bring on that ether, bring on the gas
The doctor's got to cut you mama, yes, yes, yes
The doctor knows the fixin', the doctor knows just what to do.

It's borderline naughty, and a great song. I don't know if Magpie ever recorded it (I heard it at Old Dominion Folk Fest in about '78).

If anybody has the whole lyric to this one!?!?!...
