21 Feb 04 - 08:30 AM (#1120357) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: woman pulling wild mountain thyme From: The Borchester Echo The young man doesn't come off too well in 'The Trees They Do Grow High'. It all seems to have been a bit too much for him. In 'The Game Of All Fours', while the man doesn't start out exactly innocent, he certainly doesn't emerge with his reputation (for card-playing ot whatever) intact. |

(The old double standard that is always being ranted about) b) rather then ruining his reputation the seduction of a youth/lad/young man would enhance his reputation. c) There ARE songs I've seen about men being unable to "perform" - and *those* I would suspect are the equivilant to the "ruined maiden" songs. |

19 Mar 04 - 11:10 AM (#1140972) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: woman pulling wild mountain thyme From: Dave Bryant What about "Whistle Daughter, Whistle" and all all the "Don't let me die an Old Maid" songs and although it's modern there's always "Johnny and Gertrude" which ends up "'cos mummy says as long as I've got one of these - I can get one of those ANYTIME!". |
