Subject: Lyr Add: 'The Old Maid & The Old Tom Cat' From: John M. Date: 24 Jan 05 - 02:52 PM Hello everyone, If you are easily offended, please STOP READING. This thread is for mature audiences only. Please don't post "dreadful song" or "worst song written" as you are not helping. Below is a traditional bawdy song I call: "The Old Maid & the Old Tom Cat" (recording) A fragment was sung to me by Charley Noble (PM) on Nov 13, 2004 before my recording software cut out. Charley provided the text below by email. He said he learned it in the early 1960s from an Englishman.

The day you took me to that vet FC |

Subject: RE: Lyr Add: 'The Old Maid & The Old Tom Cat' From: Charley Noble Date: 30 Aug 06 - 12:43 PM John- Our source for this song is our old family friend Dennis Puleston of Brookhaven, Long Island. We do have an old recording of him leading this one from a party in the late 1950's. Cheerily, Charley Noble |
