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
