Thread Name: Lyr Req: Four and Nine / Fifty Cents
Subject: RE: Lyrics Requested: four and nine?
My Partner (Poor Misery), remembers his tiny (now octogenarian) Uncles singing the following :

Four and nine, four and nine
Shovin' on the dollar of four and nine
Take a tip from me
Never take a lady out to dine
When only in your pocket you've got four and nine

The Uncles are Liverpool (England) lads (Steve and Vince Connyngham) who did a lot of performing around the traps (Uncle Steve is STILL a drummer in a band!!) BUT my Partner can't recall any more details of the song or how old it may be ...

Cheers! R-J
