Some boaty friends have come round, and we can none of us complete the song that starts

"She's a ragbag shagbag
Fucking old whore bag
That's my mother-in-law"

Can any connoisseurs of this area of folksong help out with the rest

Hello everyone,

The song "Shagbag, Ragbag" is known to me as  "Who is Sylvia?" or "My Girl"  (recording)

                Do you sing this song?  If so when/where did you learn it?

Any help is appreciated.

Sincerely,

John Mehlberg

WHO IS SYLVIA?  (recording)

Who is Sylvia?
What is she?

She's a rag bag, a shag bag, an automatic whore.
She's got a fanny like a big barn door
She can run, skip and jump
Catch a barrel up her cunt.
She's the girl for me.


Notes:  This is transcribed from the Medical Students Sing Rugby Songs [1970] the last of the Sportsdic rugby records series.  The "Rag bag, shag bag..." verse is sung to "Turkey in the Straw".  This song is also found on The I's Reunion Record (1986) a New Zealand 45 record under the title "My Girl".   Compare this song with Mary Anne Burns (the Queen of all the Acrobats).

Refresh. John Mehlberg's Sylvia song is related, but not the same.

She's a ragbag, shagbag, dirty old fucking slag,
that's my mother in law,
She wants rooting, shooting, fucking executing,
hanging from a shit house door.
And tatooed on her vagina, is a full scale map of china,
How I love her, how I love her, how I love my mother in law.

At Butlin's Ayr (1975) the version was as follows:
she's a ragbag, shagbag, cuntbag, fuckbag, any bag at all, she's my mother in law
