I have a couple of records of Jospeh Spence, one of which contains the song Conch Ain't Got No Bone. Long ago I thought to myself, this sounds like a song of great sexual imagery and no doubt one that I should learn. Joseph sang it of course in his own inimitable and therefore totally unintelligble way, leaving me up a creek without a conch (which is doubtless another sexual metaphor). Undaunted, I later came across a Ry Cooder record with the song on in the high expectation of getting the words. Alas it was not to be - he did only an instrumentall version. I remain conchless (and possible unconchionable!).

Nice to hear this seasonal song though.

lol, Mick....I groaned all the way through your post...come to think of it, the groans would work well as harmony to Spence's "singing."
