Subject: RE: Traditional songs & madness
Seems to me that Ewan McCall did one about having a mad wife. Here's a pretty phonetic snippet from my memory (haven't heard it in about 17 years). Anyway, here goes

Oh my wife she is humpy she's lumpy My wife she is crazy she's cracked ??? Her tongue it goes clickity clack

Tae me ingting tae me ingting tae me ido tae me ingting tae me ingting tae me iday Tae me robobo robobo randy Me Lubstone keeps babin' away

In the end I believe that he drowns his wife It ends with something like I dipped her three times in the river and carelessly bade her good day.

Ring any bells for anyone else out there??
