I've searched the DT database with no luck. I'm assuming it's an Irish American tune as it was recorded in 1930 by Irish/Amer singer Frank Quinn. Partial lyrics I have go like this: One night I came home to my Kitty after traveling the wide world around//Strong ale made me jovial and witty I carelessly sat myself down//I put my hand into my pocket and gave her my money to count//But Kitty indeed was no blockhead and she quickly told me the amount// (Rest of song is back and forth conversation between "dear husband/dear wife") Thanks to you all, Rosie |

[WIFE:] Dear husband, do you know what I'm thinking? The truth I'll reveal unto you: If you'd only give over your drinking, You'd send the old frictions adieu; (?) For whiskey is the root of all evil, And the drunkard ... |
