Who Threw the Overalls in Mistress Murphy's Chowder" was written by George L. Geifer, 1898. See Levy site for sheet music

My error on the date of "Who Threw the Overalls in Mistress Murphy's Chowder"- The Levy site dates it 1937. I had 1898 in my notebook, which is probably wrong. The author is George L. Geifer, however.

I think the Levy site is misleading on this one, Q. I have a Dover book called Favorite Songs of the Nineties. It has a copy of the cover of the sheet music, which lists the songwriter as George L. Giefer, publication date 1898. Other sources I have show 1898 and 1899 as the publication date. Some spell the name "Geifer" but the sheet music spells it "Giefer."
