Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Angeline the baker & whiskey before
Never heard the above words used for this tune. Out in Michigan we used to use verses like this:
Whiskey killed me poor old dad,
Whiskey for me daddy-o,
Whiskey drove me mother mad,
Whiskey for me daddy-o!
We'd borrow verses from cowboy songs like "Rye Whiskey" and sea shanties like "Whiskey-O". Are you sure the words in the DT scan with the tune?
