Subject: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: DSabbe@AOL.com (Don Sabbe) Date: 23 Feb 97 - 04:14 PM Hi, I've just (mis)spent over an hour looking on the web for the lyrics to one of my favorite old dirty ditties - "Roll me over in the clover", also known as "The Nurses Song". But all to no avail. This wonderful site did provide me with the words to Barnacle Bill, another old goodie. Does anyone know where I might find what I'm looking for? If so you could either email them directly to me (DSabbe@AOL.com) or post something here. Thanks, Don Sabbe PS I'm also looking for "Chinamen never eat Chili". |

This is number one, and I want to do it again. This is number two, and I want to do it again... Sort of like "Ninety-nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall", except that it can theoretically last forever. Or were you looking for something more interesting that has more to do with nurses? |

Subject: RE: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: wfoster@unanov.una.edu [Bill Foster] Date: 25 Feb 97 - 09:30 AM When I was in Infantry School at Fort Benning we used to sing "Chinamen Never Eat Chili" to pass the time as the cattle trucks hauled us from one training area to another. It was an organized, participatory song; anyone who wanted to sing a verse raised his hand during the chorus, and the person designated as "leader" would point to the next singer. The chorus was as follows:
Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye – The verses were explicitly dirty limericks and, since the content of the verses changed every time the song was sung, it would be impossible for anyone to remember them. The only one I can recall goes
There was a young lady from Thrace
Good luck with your search. |

Subject: RE: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: dick greenhaus Date: 25 Feb 97 - 02:57 PM THE collection of dirty limericks is by G. Legman--two fat volumes. Limericks are the one type of true folksong we're not including in the Digital Tradition--if we did, we wouldn't have room for anything else. |
Subject: RE: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: ggolgart Date: 04 Mar 97 - 12:12 AM The tune to "Chinamen never eat chili" is "Cilito Lindo" its' chording is in the database. As with most folksongs there are several variations in New Mexico the one I heard on the "Chinamen" varied with: "In China they do it for chili" and "Waltz me around by my willie." |

Subject: RE: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: toadfrog Date: 15 Jun 01 - 10:50 PM Hmm. I posted this song lately. I had not found it, but here it was. It seems to me it qualifies for the DT. Otherwise people will go on posting it. It sure is a traditional song. Or am I wrong? |
Subject: RE: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Jun 01 - 05:14 PM Toadfrog, I didn't see the version you posted. What thread is it in? Is it the same as what Dick posted above? Dick's version was added to the April 2000 version of the database, but that version isn't in general circulation because of some technical problems. If you use the Digitrad and Forum Search (SuperSearch), you can see if songs have been posted in either the Forum or the Digital Tradition, and that will save duplications. If you have a different version of a song to post, please try to use an existing thread on the song instead of starting yet another thread. the fewer threads we have on songs, the less confustion. Our general policy is one song, one thread. -Joe Offer- Click here for a thread on the background of this song. |

Subject: RE: REQ: Lyrics for Roll me over in the clover. From: toadfrog Date: 17 Jun 01 - 12:57 AM Sorry, Joe. I did not mean to say, the one I posted should be included. Did mean, that was a v. common song, was hard to find on the Forum, & was not marked with arches, so far as I could make out. I guess it must have been marked all along, and I just missed it. |
