An International Bibliography

G. LEGMAN,  La Clé des Champs, Valbonne (A.M. 06560), France
 

FOLKLORE is the voice of those who have no other voice, and would not be listened to if they did. Of no part of folklore is this more true — folksongs and ballads, folklife, language, artifacts, dances and games, superstitions and all the rest — than of the sexual parts. These stand to the body of folklore and folksong in about the same proportion as the physical sexual parts stand to the human body, or perhaps a bit more: 22% in the Vance Randolph complete Ozark conspectus, as his "Unprintable" collections, Roll Me In Your Arms and Blow the Candle Out (University of Arkansas Press, 1990, forthcoming). But to most people they are among the most treasured, if secret, parts. Yet the record of erotic folklore and folksong has only seldom — and then usually only privately — been committed to print, owing to the anti-sexual religious censorship in the West for several thousand years now, and especially the last two hundred and fifty, by the civil authorities.

That is the reason for the exceptional brevity of the bibliography of erotic folksong compared to the enormous bibliography available on the literature of folklore in general, now in the final years of the 20th century, as listed (half a century ago) in the volumes of Bolte and Polívka's Anmerkungen to the Grimms' folktales, and the international Motif-Index of Stith Thompson. Nevertheless, the present list covers only the main European languages, and can be considered relatively complete only for English, German, and French, and perhaps recent Italian. Near-Eastern and other languages in non-Roman alphabets, such as Russian, Greek, Arabic, and the Oriental and African languages, have almost not been dealt with at all. These must be left for other researchers. (See: DAY; DEAN; HAYN; HICKERSON; LAWS; and MONTGOMERIE.)

The chronological development or presentation of these American and European materials has not been attempted here, since they all are in any case comparatively recent. They date at earliest from the upsurge of printed folksong and erotic sonnets and other satirical poetry (school of Ronsard) in the poetic miscellanies and drolleries, first in France and then in England, from about 1530 to 1660.

The earliest human songs, or rather rhythmed chants, of which we have any firm record are all tribal gloats and epic self-glorifications in Ancient Egypt and Babylonia by male and female heroes over their fallen enemies:

"Triumphs," as these are called when recorded monumentally on stone or metal steles. Two of the oldest and most poetic in form are attributed to female singers, and were preserved first orally and later on sheepskin vellum: the Biblical "Song of Miriam" at the Red Sea (Exodus, chapter 15:1-21), and the "Song of Deborah," the witch-prophetess in Judges, chapter 5. Both of these date presumably from just after the Egyptian Exodus, about 1200 to 1100 B.C., but in the earliest Biblical text, the Ezraic recension of 432 B.C., the "Song of Deborah" and Jael is signed by the ghostwriter in line 14: "Out of (the tribe of) Zebulun came they that handle and draw with the pen of the writer." The "Song of Hannah," 1 Samuel, chapter 2, is also a war-cry.

The story told, of the killing of the sleeping enemy and presumed sexual guest or rapist Sisera/Holofernes by the heroic Jael/Judith (Delilah in the mythic Samson prose version in Judges, chapter 16) with a tent-peg and hammer, is millennially similar in its way to the American Negro folk-ballad of the 1890s, "Frankie & Johnny (Albert)," except in the murder-weapon used and the replacement of the ancient heroine's patriotism with sexual jealousy as the modern bitch-heroine's motive. Judith too ends in song, 16:1-17.

Compare this almost coeval declamatory "triumph," from the cuneiform Annals of Ashur-Nasir-pal II (Assyria, about 870 B.C.) column ii, so similar to the modern Vietnam body-count gloats and napalm glorifications reported in Carol Burke's "Marching to Vietnam" (1989:434-441), but rather more frank about the raping and buggering of the "enemies" of both sexes before killing or enslaving them:

Eight hundred of their soldiers by my arms I destroyed. Their populace in the flames I burned. Their young men, their maidens, I violated. One thousand of their warriors' corpses on a hill I heaped up. On the first of (May), I killed eight hundred of their fighting men. I burned their many houses; their young men and maidens I violated. [Translation of the cuneiform text, after Sir E. A. Wallis Budge, The Annals of the Kings of Assyria, London, 1908.]

In spite of there being an ancient Greek muse of erotic song and poetry, Erato (one of the nine daughters of the gods of heavenly inspiration and memory: Zeus and Mnemosyne), no serious history of the subject appears to exist. It will therefore be useful here to mention summarily a few highlights and their dates in human history, to bring the modern examples of erotic song in our own folklore into humanistic and historical focus. The earliest records of erotic poetry are those engraved in the bas-reliefs and steles and later the papyri of the ancient Egyptian "New Empire" from 1590 to 1085 B.C. Particularly fertile in love-song was the period following and inspired by the monotheistic revolt of Akhnaton (Amenhopis IV: Freud's prototypical "Moses"), in 1372-64 B.C. See in particular the Harris Papyrus No. 500. The irreverent and bawdy satirical style in prose tales is already seen in the "Adventures of Horus and Seth" (1160 B.C.) in the Chester Beatty Papyrus published in 1930. The poetry of that ramesside epoch, of Rameses V, is also frequently frivolously erotic and what would be called today "obscene," concentrating on what would ordinarily be repressed: that is, "off-scene" and off the conscious stage, as in the calendar of erotic postures depicted in the astrological Turin Papyrus.

Meanwhile, more formal erotic poetry and song also appear at the same time in the epic and religious literature of the Middle East, though assumed to be a thousand years earlier in origins, in the Sumerian and Egyptian fertility cults. This usually takes the form of admiring descriptions and glorifications of the beloved's sexual attributes and organs: strength, beauty, breasts, buttocks, pubis ("belly") and genitals, as also in the surviving Arabic poetic tradition of the wasf, so frequently interrupting the narrative portions of The Arabian Nights, and parodied in Aleister Crowley's Scented Garden: Bagh-i-Muattar (1911). The modern bawdy song, "The Hair on Her Dicky-Dido Hangs Down to Her Knee," with its glorying "I've seen it, I've seen it, I've been in between it!" to the great Welsh tune of "The Ash Grove," is a more typical Western survival.

The passages of sexual flattery and attempted seduction of the hero Gilgamesh, in the Sumerian-Akkadian epic of that name, Tablet vi, by the erotic goddess Ishtar-Astarte, alternate with responses of almost orgiastic insults and flyting by the hero, much in the style still surviving in Polish dance-songs, and in the two-part bawdy song "Ballocky Bill the Sailor." Gilgamesh is supposed to date from about 1800 B.c., but the earliest extant text is an artistic rewriting and doubtless revision made in Uruk (the modern Warka, Iraq) about 1200 B.c. by the male poet calling himself Sin-Leqe-Unníni, "the worshipper of Astarte," she being the presumed author.

Very similar, but without any responsory alternation with insults and verbal aggression, are the antiphonal passages of erotic praise of her beloved's body by the avowed Biblical authoress of The Song of Songs as it now exists: chapters 1-3, 5, and 8. Politely ascribed, though not credibly, to King Solomon (about 950 B.C.), this was probably "written" in its modern form near that date, during the Tirzah dynasty of Northern Israel. It has been shown, first by Wetzstein in 1873 and Erbt in 1906, and later by St.H. Stephan, Modern Palestinian Parallels to the Song of Songs (1923), and more fully by Ringgren, that The Song of Songs is a typical or ritual Near-Eastern epithalamium or marriage-play, probably originally a springtime fertility-cult mimicry over a thousand years older. In this the writer-speaker is taking the part, in her ritual intercourse or "marriage" with her lover, the god Tammuz, of the goddess Ishtar-Astarte, or the Egyptian Venus called Hathor, the Golden Calf of the naked dance-orgy before Mount Sinai in Exodus, 32:2-29.

Women as a group retained their millennial prominence in the songs and poetry of the Semitic peoples, in their military and erotic triumphs, both as heroines and as singers, at least till about 980 B.C., as in the satirical song described and quoted at the triumph of the young, slingshot-bearing hero, David, over the giant champion of the Philistines, Goliath, in 1 Samuel, 18:6-7:

And it came to pass .  . when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistines, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tabrets,with joy, and with instruments of musick. And the women answered one another (n.b.) as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands — And David his ten thousands. And Saul was very wroth .  .

See further the Abbé Nadal's valuable but little-known treatise, added to his Histoire des Vestales (Paris, 1725: copy, Ohio State University), on ancient soldiers' satirical songs against their victorious officers, "Sur l'Origine des Vers Satyriques contre ceux qui triomphoient." These are of evidently apotropaic or evil-averting intention, to ward off the "Evil Eye" of jealousy and hatred by the defeated enemy, not only throughout Roman times but strongly surviving into our own. And see also G. Legman, The Horn Book: Studies in Erotic Folklore (1964), pp. 336-426, "The Bawdy Song."

Although the most famous of the love poets of ancient Greece, still today, is the presumably lesbian singer Sappho (attempted to be "rehabilitated" by the legend of her suicide over a man, Phaon), along with the violent male satirist and poet Archilochus, in the classical drama of Greece since about 650 B.C. women singers lost all prominence to the new phallus-bearing comedians. The humorous interludes in public street processions and in the theatre were given over then to orgiastic male dancers, dressed as satyrs and masked with "horned cult" goat-heads or as other traditionally rutting animals, and bearing whips and enormous mock phalluses by way of, first, a fertility rite, and later as plain bawdy humor.

This type of originally religious erotic mumming and broad comedy song is thought to have originated in Megara and Syracuse in Sicily, and then to have spread throughout Greece. According to Aristotle in his Poetics (330 B.C.), Attic comedy, as seen best in the bawdy and satirical Atellane plays of Aristophanes a century earlier, was of Dionysian character, satirical and abusive. It had arisen from the improvisations spoken or shouted, rather than sung, by the leaders (exarchontes) of these phallic and dithyrambic "obscene songs which, authorized by custom and law, were long chanted in many of the cities of Greece." Archilochus had already written, 7th century B.C.: "I know how to lead off (exarchein) the dithyramb, the song in honor of the lord Dionysos, when my wits are addled with wine." This clearly shows that we are dealing here with "sacred" taboo-transgressing drinking songs, as in the time of Shakespeare's Falstaff ("Come, sing me a bawdy song; make me merry .  .") and certainly still today.

The obscene and abusive songs the phallophoroi sang — replacing the ritual striking with their fertility-cult whips — are the true ancestors of modern bawdy song in all European languages, and of the abusive and obscene Russian medieval clowns, French and Provençal bawdy minstrels and fabliaux poets and troubadours, of Greek (via Hispanic-Arabic) inspiration, who are still with us. They now flourish as the "dirty-talking" stand-up comics — transitionally, the European-Jewish bodchonim and earlier jesters and minstrels —  now everywhere featured in Western nightclubs and television. From the original ritually nympholept street-comedians and musicians of ancient Sicily and Greece have developed all our humorous comedy theatre, and also the type of erotic poetry in The Greek Anthology, Book XII; in Martial's Epigrams (1st century A.D.), and the bawdy poetic obscœna of the Priapeia, the first graffiti collection, presumed to have been edited by the poet Virgil (1st century B.C.) —  in his youth. We are navel-deep in folk history here.

A word must be said about the music of the folksongs, erotic and otherwise, of which very little account is taken in most of the erotic collections in the bibliographical list that follows. Our aesthetic appreciation of these musical song-accompaniments has always tended to blind us to their relatively recent emergence as "the" important element in folksong, especially expurgated folksong. In the well-known passage beginning, "Let us now praise famous men," the writer of Ecclesiasticus in the Apocrypha, 44:5 (about 180 B.c.) includes among all benefactors of humanity, "Such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses (ditties) in writing." His reference here is to the Byzantine-Greek musical modes and neumes, a series of prosodie patterns and simple melismata shown by written signs, which still survive in the Jewish liturgical cantillation, and were in that way transmitted to church plain-song at an early date. Words are given beneath the manuscript music of carols by the 13th century, as in "Sumer Is i-cumen In," and were eventually printed in that way by Lattaignant in France as early as the 1530s. Before those dates, the "tunes" of troubadour songs were often hardly more than rhythmic chants or a drone, and the same is still true of much of the world's epic folk-singing.

Since that date, at least, the tune or tunes to which a given song is ornamentally sung have been so much appreciated that one forgets that the tune is essentially adventitious and decorative. It is part of the emotional communication made, not too far removed from the characteristic cries of animals and birds, though these of course often have an intellectual warning or signaling quality too. The real value of the tune, to the singer, has always been principally mechanical and tactical, as a mnemonic assist, in the same way as the rhyme, to help in carrying along and remembering the flow of the stanzaic words, which are thought of as the essential part of the song by all but aesthetes and opera-singers.

Few actual folksingers or musicians ever learn their tunes from printed music, but almost invariably orally, and very often borrowed or parodied from older songs. The printed tunes are of principal value only to "revival" singers and folklore historians, and often vary from singer to singer in authentic oral transmission as much or more than the words. In any case, the more melodic forms of folksong seem now to be coming to an end, at least in the communications media of the West in recent years. Current "popular" or "rock" singing has returned by and large to simple rhythmic chanting and shouting, with guitar and drum, of mostly repetitive and inarticulate phrases. This is accompanied with much openly erotic body-language, coital hip-jerking, and spasmodic shuffling or other primitive dance motions. Generally there is no identifiable tune-dimension or harmonic resolution. The formless song simply repeats numerous times, trails off, and stops. The widespread audience acceptance of this increasingly aggressive melodic and intellectual collapse since the 1950s would be well worth further examination and study.

Assistance is requested with the planned Discography of erotic songs on phonographic recordings, in various languages but particularly English and French since the 1920s, in which some few hundreds of the recent traditional bawdy songs, their words and their tunes have been preserved, as a supplement to the following book list. Living in France for the last forty years, it has not been possible for the present writer to deal with this proposed erotic song Discography as it deserves.

One final word. It has become a truism of folksong study, as a result of the widespread commercial and expurgatory revamping of original folk materials, at least since the ballad-operas and "Tea Table Miscellanies" of the early 18th century, that only bawdy song and the folklore of children still reap the advantage of authentic oral transmission in Western cultures. Of bawdy song in particular it might be said, as Longfellow phrases it in "To the Children," stanza 9 — admittedly in a somewhat different context —

(Enfer 1103) The first openly published collection of the French medical and art students' bawdy "Chansons de Salles de Garde." Compare: Anthologie Hospitalière; Bréviaire; and especially STAUB; as well as the dozen following items.

Chansons de Carabins. 1930. Recueil édité par le Section de Médecine de l'Association Générale des Étudiants de Grenoble. Chansons recueillies par les Choristes de l' A. G. Grenoble. 63 pp., 8vo. (Unique copy: Bibl. Publ. de Grenoble-Enfer 136.) "Carabin" is slang for a medical student.

Chansons de Carabins. 1946. Switzerland [sic]: Éditions C.S.C. 140 pp., 4to. (PC. 348) A différent and larger collection than the preceding. Continued as: Bréviaire du Carabin, 2e Série, c. 1950 (q.v.) which includes hitherto unpublished student songs.

Chansons d'Étudiants. c. 1949. Paris. 2 vols., sm.4to. (Copy: G. Legman.) For almost the first time — compare preceding items — hitherto unpublished and non-routine students' bawdy songs are included in vol. 2 here.

(Copies: New York Academy of Medicine Library S102a; Alain Kahn-Sriber, Paris; G. Legman.) Reprinted with dates 1931 and 1936, and later on cheaper paper, sq.12mo. According to valuable review by André COEURY in Gringoire (Paris, 12 October 1934), section "La Musique," entitled "Dupanloup et Cie," the "Amsterdam" imprint is false and this edition "vient en droite ligne d'une de nos provinces où l'on aime à manger et boire, et où la Faculté groupe un nombre imposant d'étudiants joyeux."

LEGMAN, Introduction to P. J. Kearney, The Private Case, 1981, p. 46.

Chansons de Salle de Garde et du Quartier Latin. 1950? Se vend à Paris: à l'enseigne de la Feuille de Rose [Nice?]. (72) pp., 8vo, with music. (Copy: Alain Kahn-Sriber, Paris.) The mock-imprint "la Feuille de Rose" is French slang for anilinctus.

Edited by Edmond Dardenne BERNARD, as a supplement to his Anthologie Hospitalière et Latinesque (1911-13) and its partial reprinting in 1930 as Trois Orfèvres à la Saint-Éloi. Gives the musical notation, apparently for the first time, for these "Chansons de Salles de Garde," all later printed music for these (except that of STAUB, q.v.) being largely derived from this edition, and not collected in the field.

The final dance-song duet, "Rozmowa milosna (Entretien amoureux entre une fille et un garçon)," vol. 5:233-234, 259-260, is a very close congener or source of the American "BOLLOCKY BILL THE SAILOR," including dialogue method of singing "mi-chanté, mi-parlé," the seduced girl's reproaches to her lover "chanté sur un air mélancolique," while his replies are all insults (spoken) "sur l'air fringant de la danse." There is another, less close Polish version in Kryptádia (1901) 7:65-67. See also: "Piosenki Polskie," in same (1898) 3:304-337; and HNATJUK, "Polnische."

Legman, The Horn Book, pp. 205-206; but a reference in the volume to the Parnell O'Shea scandal of 1890 shows the true date.

GOLDSTONE, Sherle. 1934. Unprinted College Songs. MS, Albany, New York State College for Teachers. Term paper submitted to Harold W. Thompson, author of Body, Boots and Britches (1939), with some concern by Goldstone as to whether he would be shocked. (Copy: New York State Historical Association, Cooperstown, N. Y., File: H.W.T. 01.363.) This is the first attempted scholarly collection of bawdy students' songs, except the MS collections of GORDON, and LEGMAN; and compare REUSS. Goldstone notes concerning the rather mild songs she collected that the college "men who were finally induced to sing them, very respectfully sang something like 'da-dadely-da' when the word was such that they believed no nice girl should hear." Later folksong collectors such as Edith Fowke, Ellen Stekert, Vance Randolph, and Kenneth Goldstein have noted encountering similar recalcitrance, the men sometimes refusing to sing the bawdy part of their repertory at all.

"Inferno" Collection: (Vulgar Collection: Reel 8.) MS of the 236 erotic song texts included in all the above, as grouped by Gordon. (Compare: Bishop PERCY.) Note: The originals and typescript copies of all the above, including about 700 sound-recordings, are repositoried principally in the Robert Winslow Gordon Collection of American Folksong, R. V. Mills Archive of Northwest Folklore, University Library, University of Oregon, at Eugene; and in overlapping part in the Library of Congress, Music Division, Archive of Folksong, at Washington, D.C., which was instituted by Gordon, but which he left in anger (with most of his materials) on being replaced suddenly. See: Melbert B. CARY, Mademoiselle from Armentières (musical Introduction by Gordon); Karen GRIMM, 1967, Prolegomenon to a Catalog for the Robert W. Gordon Collection, Northwest Folklore, 2:8-10; and especially Debora KODISH, 1978, "A National Project with Many Workers: Robert Winslow Gordon and the Archive of American Folk Song," Quarterly Journal of the Library of Congress 35:218—233, a splendid article with photos of Gordon collecting "in the field" and a straightforward discussion of Gordon's withdrawing his materials from the Archive when he was eased out of his position as director in favor of John A.

In the reprint the last word, "two," of poem "King David" on page 10 is omitted. The first edition may actually have appeared in 1928, predated one year to evade police attention. (Note: Harold H. Hart's Immortalia and The Complete Immortalia, 1970-71, are not in any sense editions or revisions of this work.

IRWIN, Godfrey. 1931. American Tramp and Underworld Slang .  . with a selection of tramp songs. London: Scholartis Press, Eric Partridge; New York: Sears. Songs, pp. 199-252. Reviewed by J. Louis Kuethe, 1934, American Speech 9:304, reprimanding Irwin for the excessive expurgation, and calling him "far too naïve or squeamish." In fact, the toning down of the manuscript to relative worthlessness was insisted upon by the publisher, Eric Partridge. Compare: BROPHY; and MILBURN, another masterpiece of expurgation. Almost the only showing of the real tramp and hobo songs is in the Gordon "Inferno" MS. Compare: Dorothy Charques 1937, The Tramp and his Woman (London).

This work and the following are notable examples of the New Freedom for American university press publication. Compare: FAUSET; Louis CHAPPELL; and ROCHESTER.

_________. 1974. "Get Your Ass in the Water and Swim Like Me": Narrative Poetry from the Black Oral Tradition. Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard University Press.

LEGMAN, Rationale of the Dirty Joke (No Laughing Matter), vol. 2: 159-162. These volumes are basically folklore, unlike the J. M. Elgart Over Sexteen would-be naughty humor series in the United States, which may have inspired them. (See at: Jest on Sex.) Jiménez' work is further supplemented in his 1977 El Tumbaburro de la Picardía Mexicana: Diccionario de Términos vulgares, (México: Editorial Diana), with which compare CELA, and the serious study by Alejandro ALARCÓN 1978, El Habla popular de los jóvenes en la Ciudad de México (Costa-Amic), with glossary, pp. 110-149.

The "Talk of Ten Wives, on their husbands' ware" (from the Porkington MS about 1460) pp. 29-33, is the oldest surviving erotic folksong in English, a reversal in which the women brag of the large size of their cunts, not of their husbands' small pricks, "Three Old Whores from Canada," as traced and discussed in Legman, The Horn Book, pp. 222 and 414-415.

Repositoried in the Barker Archives, University of Texas Library, Austin, these MSS include a small "Inferno" section of bawdy songs (Box A/9-152 "Bawdy"), which is now even smaller than originally, as it has in part been "misplaced" by unknown hands at some date after 1957 when all the materials were transcribed and tape-spoken for the present research by D. K. Wilgus and Austin Fife. The Kinsey-ISR archives' folk-art files at Indiana University have similarly been looted since 1963, when they were displayed to me, much more complete than at present, by the curator Mrs.Christenson, just before being catalogued. Materials from the John A. Lomax MSS. are cited in the present work with the kind permission of Alan Lomax.

_________. 1947. Adventures of a Ballad Hunter. New York: Macmillan. Colorful reminiscences, but no discussion or awareness of his riotous editorial manhandling, rewriting, and purifying collected materials before publication. See preceding item.

Lost Limericks and Bar Room Ballads. 1949. [Roy LAVENDER, ed.] World Science Fiction Convention, Cincinnati, Ohio. (3), 69 pp., 4to, mimeographed. (Copies: Samuel Moscowitz Science Fiction Fanzine Collection, Roseville, N.J.; G. Legman.) Valuable collection of folk-verse and obscœna, "mimeographed from stencils cut by many persons," according to the editor, who states that this is the "third and much revised edition." Note: Not to be confused with Lusty Limericks and Bawdy Ballads, by "Dick Harde," below.

Love-Poems and Humorous Ones. 1874. F. J. Furnivall, ed., Ballad Society, No. 11. 24 pp. MS dated 1619, in British Museum Library, C.39.a.l-5.

Luka Mudishchev. 1969. (at head: Ivan BARKOV.) 2e Isdanie. "Moskva: Izdatelstvo TSK-KLSS Gospolitizdat" [London School of Economics; Coulsdon, Surrey: Special Service, "Hexton House," Herts.] 80 pp., 32do (11 X 6.7 cm.). Aside from the title page ascription to Barkov (1732-68), this bawdy Russian ballad in the style of the sex-hate recitation "Eskimo Nell" is also attributed to Aleksandr Pushkin and more probably to Pushkin's successor in Byronic poetry, Mikhail Y. LERMONTOV (1814—41), who "wrote a fair quantity of obscene verse privately for his pals at the cadets' school when he was about 18." Text was apparently supplied by the Joint Services School for Linguistics, at Coulsdon, Surrey. Poem is first referred to in SPINKLER 1913, Gross-Russische erotische Volkdichtung. Anthropophytéia 10:353, q.v. The present vest-pocket edition produced as an exhibitionistic joke, to demonstrate the technical ability and matériel of the Allied Subversion and Sabotage propaganda services in London, on their purposeful "blowing of cover" after the Kim Philby espionage defection. It is a remarkable imitation of Soviet Government Printing House typography, using various sorts of Cyrillic type, satirically including phoney reviews from Pravda, Izvestia, etc., and faked publicity photos of high-ranking Russian political leaders and secret-service heads enthusiastically plugging the poem! Compare: Gregory-Boomer-Fouff; also KABRONSKY; KRAUSS; and SPINKLER.

Lusty Limericks & Bawdy Ballads. 1956. Compiled and edited by "Dick HARDE" [pseud. of Walter BREEN and Robert BASHLOW.] New York? (1), 49 f., 4to, mimeographed. (Copies: Kinsey-ISR; G. Legman.) Ballads, f. 35-49. Note: Not to be confused with Lost Limericks & Bar Room Ballads, above, as seems to have been the editors' intention. The senior editor here also uses the pseudonym "J. Z. Eglinton."

Norfolk, Va.: Gilpin Withers.] 31 pp., 8vo. (Only repository copy: University of Kentucky Library.) Issued privately for members of the University of Virginia secret society "Eli Banana." Includes two original songs, "The Master Betas" and "The Dancing Girl" (by one of the members, G. Coleman Reedy), of which "The Master Betas" immediately entered oral circulation in men's college fraternity beer-bust singing. The "Appendix," pp. 26-31, is Mark Twain's "1601," in the old-style spelling of the edition secretly printed at the West Point Military Academy Press by Charles Erskine Scott Wood.

Bawdy Chanson de Salle de Garde, not in most collective editions.

London: Printed for Private Circulation [J. C. Hotten?]. xi, 139 pp., 8vo. (PC. 1123-1124; NYPL, 3*). Translated by Edward Sellon, George Augustus Sala, and Frederick P. Pike, authors also of Cythera's Hymnal, q.v., which successfully attempts to outdo Martial. Later complete translations of Martial's Epigrams into English also exist, particularly that by Mitchell S. Buck (1928 Philadelphia: Nicholas Brown). Compare: Priapeia and FOUREST. An interesting key to Martial's erotic epigrams, done on a different pattern, also exists in the rare work [by Éloi JOHAN-NEAU] 1834, Epigrammes contre Martial, ou Les Mille et une drôleries, sottises et platitudes de ses traducteurs, ainsi que les castrations qu'ils lui ont fait subir, mises en parallèle entre elles et avec le texte, par Un Ami de Martial (Paris: Johanneau).

MAUREPAS, Jean-Fr. Phélypeaux, Comte de. 1868. Recueil dit de Maurepas: Pièces libres, chansons, épigrammes, et autres vers satiriques. "Leyde, 1865" [Bruxelles: Jules Gay]. 6 vols., 16mo. (Enfer 1313; G. Legman.) Predated, the paper being watermarked "G1868." Edited anonymously by Anatole de MONTAIGLON for the Paris publisher, Janet's classics series, but refused as too risky. Includes all the erotic songs and poems of the great Recueil Clairambault-Maurepas (MS 1715-1781: Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris). The nonerotic pieces were later published as Chansonnier historique du XVIIIe siècle (1879-84, edited by Émile Raunié, Paris). First collected by Pierre de CLAIRAMBAULT (MS in 20 vols.), and enlarged to 42 vols. by the Comte de MAUREPAS, minister of state to King Louis XV of France, during 35 years of exile because of a satirical couplet he had written on the gonorrhea of the king's mistress, Mme. de Pompadour. Habent sua fata libelli. Raunié's valuable 100-page Preface notes, pp. 88-94, that his edition omitted not only all the "parodies et chansons par trop licencieuses," but also all the scrupulously transmitted tune-indications as "dépourvues d'intérêt au point de vue historique"! Compare: CHAPPELL (1893, Wooldridge, ed.), which similarly omits everything "merely traditional." See also: JAMET le Jeune; and Les Muses en belle humeur, 1742.

Supplement 4: On Grant County, Indiana, Dialect. (3) pp., 8vo. (Copies: Library of Congress, MS Division, with McAtee MSS.) Very valuable personal memory record. All the Supplements listed contain erotic songs or song-scraps from recollection of materials learned in the 1890s. The Library of Congress MS Division has a large collection of McAtee's professional correspondence, etc., including one envelope of personal erotic elucubrations in verse of no great interest.

MCCARTHY, Tony. 1972. Bawdy British Folk Songs. London: Wolfe. 127 pp., 16mo. 60 tunes and mildly erotic texts without source indicated, but extremely similar to the same songs in the Sharp and Hammond MSS as published by PURSLOW, q.v.

McCLURE, John. 1943. The Stag's Hornbook. 2d edition enlarged, edited by William Rose Benêt. New York: Knopf. Milk-and-water "stag" poems for the Kahlil Gibran audience's Saturday nights out. Original edition, 1918, for World War I armed services.

McCLURG. c. 1928-30. (Detroit, Mich.) See: Bibliothèque Erotique; Diary of a French Stenographer; Library L'Amour; and Poems, Ballads, and Parodies, all c. 1928-30. Much of this sub-rosa publisher's poetic output seems to have been written by himself, in the hobo folk-style. Among other peculiarities, he occasionally mocked his own apocryphal title page imprints of "London" with a small typographical union "bug" at the bottom of the page, clearly marked "Detroit, Michigan."

McCORMICK, Mack. 1964. The Unexpurgated Folk Songs of Men. Berkeley, Calif: International Blues Record Club. 4to. Booklet of texts and discussion accompanying a phonograph record (see: DISCOGRAPHY, later), originally intended as a tape-recording for the present work.

Parodies, songs, and verse, pp. 143-164, the rest of the text being devoted to tales and jokes. This is the first open publication in English of the unexpurgated folklore of children, other than rhymes. (See also: BORNEMAN; GAIGNEBET; HOWARD; KNAPP; LOWENSTEIN; TURNER; WITHERS; WOLFENSTEIN; and MARTLING.) Announced for publication in 1976-77, but delayed owing to a change of publishers because of objection to Legman's Introduction, final section, "The Secret Lore of Children: The Attack on the Child."

"Constantinople": really Geneva?] 190 pp., 12mo. (Copy: Enfer 85; microfilm, NYPL, Slavonic Division; UCLA, Folklore and Myth Center.) Presumably the supplement of erotic art-and folk-poetry promised by A. N. AFANASYEV in the preface to his anonymous Russkiya Zavetniya Skazki [Russian Secret Tales; c. 1872, Geneva], here edited by his friend and literary executor or legatee, SOLDATENKOV.

Hnatjuk (Gnatjuk) to Pavlo Tarasevskyi 1909, Das Geschlechts-leben des Ukrainischen Bauernvolkes, vol. 1 (Anthropophytéia: Beiwerke, vol. 3). Presumably also edited by SOLDATENKOV.

Mélanges de Bulgarie. 1899. Kryptádia 6:164—177. Sephardi-Jewish (Ladino) erotic songs and parodies, from Bulgaria, with French translation; includes bawdy macaronics, pp. 170-177, based on Biblical and Talmudic phrases.

Merry Drollery, or A Collection of Jovial Poems, Merry Songs, Witty Drolleries, Intermixed with Pleasant Catches. 1661. London. Revised edition, 1670. (Copy: Bodleian Library.) Reprinted 1875, as Merry Drollery Compleat, J. Woodfall Ebsworth, ed.; Boston, Lines. See further under: Choyce Drollery, as to "Supplement of Reserved Songs from Merry Drollery, 1661," issued with that later reprint.

The Merry Muses of Caledonia .  . Selected for use of the Crochallan Fencibles. 1799. [Edinburgh? Peter Hill? 1800.] 127 pp., sq. 12mo. The later pages are watermark-dated: 1800. (Only two copies are known to survive: one pœnes Lord Rosebery, with the date shaved off in binding; the other recently discovered by Bertram Rota, bookseller in London, now owned by G. Ross Roy, University of South Carolina.) Scottish erotic folksongs; compiled from letters and other documents from Robert BURNS to members of the Crochallan Fencibles, a men's mock-revolutionary drinking club in Edinburgh. For the fate of Burns's actual MS collection of erotic folksongs, sold on Burns's deathbed to the banker, James Gracie, of Dumfries, see G. Legman 1964, The Horn Book, "The Cunningham Manuscript," pp. 131-169, and "The Merry Muses as Folklore," pp. 170-236. Burns's MS collection was apparently burned in 1871 as an act of piety by the then-owner, a Mr. Greenshields of Lesmahago, who "made a bonfire of them," as he bragged, "on broad moral ground ... so here ends the matter." The matter, however, did not end there, because unknown to Mr. Greenshields, banker Gracie's son had allowed the early Burns editor, Peter Cunningham, to make a copy of Burns's MS "on about 19th Oct. 1815." (Now preserved in British Museum Library, bound into the back of an edition of The Merry Muses with imprint "Dublin: Printed for the Booksellers, Price Three Shillings" [c. 1825], former callmark PC. 31.e.20, from the collection of H. Spencer Ashbee, where I had the good fortune to rediscover it in the spring of 1959.) The further songs in the Burns MS, not printed in The Merry Muses of Caledonia, are all printed for the first time in Legman, The Horn Book (1964), "The Cunningham Manuscript," pp. 134-142. Note: None of the modern editions of The Merry Muses of Caledonia listed below (or any other) gives the complete contents of the first edition of 1800, except the type-facsimile edition immediately following.

_________.  1965. Same. Type-facsimile, G. Legman, ed. New Hyde Park, N.Y.: University Books. lxv, 326 pp., 8vo. With a complete bibliography of all editions to date of The Merry Muses, and analysis of their contents. Also prints the newly discovered songs from the Cunningham Manuscript, as above.

_________.  1911. Same. [Duncan McNAUGHT, ed. Kilmarnock: Burns Federation.] 135 pp. Reprinted c. 1930 Philadelphia: Nathan Young, 143 pp., 8vo, changing McNaught's signature to the Introduction from "Vindex" to "Editor," and adding Burns's letter of phallic brag to Robert Ainslie and a Scottish glossary. An excellent edition for its time, but now supplanted by the following.

_________.  1959. Same. Edited by James Barke and Sydney Goodsir SMITH. With .  . some authentic Burns's texts [from letters, etc.] contributed by J. DeLancey FERGUSON. Edinburgh: M. Macdonald (Auk Society). Reprinted 1959, New York: Gramercy; 1964, Putnam; 1965 London: W. H. Allen; pocket-reprint 1966, London: Panther. Actually edited by S. G. Smith, after Barke's untimely death, and for the same reason Smith's fine Introduction (already published in Arena, London, 1950, No. 4; and reprinted with expurgations [!] in Hudson Review, New York, 1954, vol. 7) was not used, being replaced by a new Introduction by Barke, mainly drivel. Smith's notes to this edition are very valuable, and its outstanding contributions are the MS texts supplied by Ferguson, some of which are printed nowhere else. The most recent "standard" edition of Burns's Poems and Songs, edited by James Kinsley (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1968) takes no significant account of the Merry Muses poems and songs authentically written or revised by Burns, and omits most of them.

_________. 1872. "Same." Faked editions as: The Merry Muses [omitting: of Caledonia]. "1827."  [London: John Camden Hotten; the last two digits of the real date are reversed.] Warning Note: All editions omitting the words "of Caledonia" from the title have variously faked and abridged texts. (See: Bibliography in type-facsimile edition by G. Legman, New York, 1965.) The worst, and most badly faked and anglicized, with much additional bawdy music-hall verse not collected by Burns, nor even Scottish, are Hotten's "1827" edition and its dozen or more reprints, of which the last (?) is dated 1930 facing the title page.

The Merry Musician, or A Cure for the Spleen. 1716. London. Late drollery collection competing with Pills to Purge Melancholy.

The Merry-Thought, or The Glass-Window and Bog-House Miscellany. 1731. London. 4pts., 12mo. By "Hurlo-Thrumbo." (Bodleian Library, Oxford, W. N. H. Harding Collection; incomplete copies, British Museum Library, and Harvard University.) Usually known as The Bog-House Miscellany, this is the original graffiti collection (but compare: Priapeia), including verse and drawings taken, as the title states, from diamond scratchings on tavern glass windows and writings on the walls of privies or "bog-houses." The Merry-Thought is properly "the part of a chicken that goes over the fence last." Not to be confused with the obscœna (but not graffiti) collection, The New Boghouse Miscellany, or A Companion for the Close-Stool (1761: copy, G. Legman), reissued with title expurgated to The Wits' Miscellany in 1762. A probably similar Papers for the W.C., printed on toilet paper, was issued in Leipzig, c. 1876, but no copy is now known. Compare: Flushed!; McLEAN; and READ.

Mess Songs and Rhymes of the R.A.A.F., 1939-1945. Only ten complete copies of this book have been issued, printed on paper, duplicated? and bound in paper, Sisalcraft, bearing the musical key signature of the compiler, and numbered 1 to 10. 1945 [Milne Bay?] New Guinea, September. v, 76 f., 4to, mimeographed. (Unique copy: Australian War Memorial Library; photocopy, the late Donald Laycock, Canberra.) Royal Australian Air Force bawdy songs and service gripes. The "musical key signature" on the title page consists of a treble clef inscribed in the key of two sharps, with notes A and D, a script L, and the word "Compiler."

Pills to Purge Melancholy. (Wit and Mirth, or ... ). 1719-20. London. 6 vols., 12mo. [Henry PLAYFORD and] Thomas DURFEY, eds. The last and largest of the drollery collections, overflowing with charming erotic folksongs (and some others), with the printed music. Actually published by Playford, as Wit and Mirth, etc. 1698-1715, in 5 vols., but later reissued under Durfey's name for publicity reasons, and with his own stage-songs placed first as vols. 1 and 2, in 1719-20.

_________. Same. 1872. [London: Pearson or Hotten?] 6 vols., 12mo. Note: This type-facsimile reprint is sometimes confused with the original, but is easily distinguished by the replacement of the old long-f (for s) by the short modern s throughout. It should also be observed that the Pearson facsimile combines volumes from two different original issues: one with title and headlines as "Wit and Mirth," and the other as "Pills, etc." See further: G. Legman 1959, Pills to Purge Melancholy, Midwest Folklore 9:89-102, and Preface to edition following:

_________. 1959. Same. New York: Folklore Library Publishers. 6 vols. in 3, 12mo. It is regrettable that this offset reprint was made not from the original of 1719-20 (of which the New York Public Library holds a copy with special frontispieces, etc.), but from the type-facsimile of 1872.

The Pink 'Un. See: Purple Plums.

PINTO, Vivian de SOLA, and Allan RODWAY. 1957. The Common Muse. London: Chatto & Windus. Folk-ballads, etc. The selection is excellent, and very courageous for its time, but the limited edition segregates the old and modern erotic song materials, at pp. xii and 377-439, presumably not in the ordinary edition for hoi polloi. As reissued in New York: Philosophical Library (1958?), these pages appear democratically in all copies. Pocket reprint 1965. London: Penguin. Compare: REEVES; HOLLOWAY; and FARMER.

Place, an extraordinary person, a self-educated leather pantsmaker and early birth-control propagandist ("Place's Diabolical Handbills," proposing the vaginal sponge, now again in vogue). Was to have been the head of the revolution brewing in England in 1832, until quashed by the Reform Bill. Here clearly collecting materials toward just such a magistral work as that later achieved in Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor (1852-61), 4 vols.; reprinted, New York; Dover Pubs. 1965; and an excellent abridgment, Peter Quennell, ed. London: Spring Books, 1955? 3 vols. Overwhelmed by his activities as a politician and agitator, Place's research never went beyond collecting the living materials, of which he left seventy-one volumes. Largely autobiographical, an unmined El Dorado in the British Museum Additional MSS, these volumes are still waiting a century and a half later for an "oral historian" to edit and publish them. See also: HAYWARD; and RESTIF de La Bretonne, inventor of oral history by 1780.

With vol. 2: Blow the Candle Out: The "Unprintable" Ozark Folklore, collected by Vance RANDOLPH. G. LEGMAN, ed. Fayetteville: University of Arkansas Press (in press, 1990). 2 vols., 4to. The extensive materials of both these volumes earlier collected (1954—57), and repositoried in manuscript and in microfilm copies in the Library of Congress, Music Division, and various university libraries, under the title "Unprintable" Songs (Lore) from the Ozarks. This is the erotic supplement to Randolph's Ozark Folksongs, above. See: G. Legman, "Unprintable" Folklore? Journal of American Folklore (1990) 103:259-300.

Note: This Recueil is mentioned briefly in the Jules Gay-Lemonnyer Bibliographie, vol. 3: col. 971. Compare: Anthologie de Cantiques, a similar manuscript (only in part erotic) of about the same date.

REEVES, James. 1958. The Idiom of the People. London: Heinemann. Song-texts only, without the music collected with the songs, from the MS collection of Cecil SHARP, q.v.

A translation of Les Tendres Epigrammes de Cydno la Lesbienne (1911, Paris: Sansot), itself presumably translated from the Greek, but attributed to Nathalie Clifford Barney and/or Renée Vivien ("Pauline Tarn"), in continuation of Pierre Louÿs's famous hoax, Les Chansons de Bilitis. This American translation (but not the British pressbook edition as "Kydno"), includes erotic "shaped" poetry, both phallic and vaginal, imitating Guillaume Apollinaire's Calligrammes.

Facsimile reprint of 1680 edition, Princeton University Press, 1950. 12mo, printed on paper watermarked "Private Papers of Thomas Jefferson." The opening gun of the literary "New Freedom" in America, years before the open commercial reprints of D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and My Secret Life. Edited by the eminent Rocastrian, James Thorpe, who like his British counterpart, Vivian de Sola Pinto, rocastrifies the canon of the text into nothingness in his notes, by claiming it was all written by someone other than Rochester, such as Capt. Radcliffe, "one Fishbourne, a wretched scribbler" (in fact, an excellent composer of catches), and so forth, thus leaving the purpose of this reprint somewhat obscure. Actually the bawdiest of the drollery collections, with verse by other hands. Compare: Choyce Drollery; Sportive Wit; and WARDROPER.

Reprinted by the same publisher-editor as Rowdy Rhymes and Bibulous Ballads, gathered from many gay minstrels; Peter Pauper Press [1960]. Expurgated semi-erotica for the gifte-booke trade. The treatment of "The Blue Velvet Band" is an object-lesson in folklore faking.

_________.  1873-74. Same (selections:) The Roxburghe Ballads, edited by Charles HINDLEY. London. 2 vols. Disloyally undertaken after the complete Chappell-Ebsworth edition (above) had already begun publication, the most valuable item here is the anonymous article [by John Payne COLLIER] reprinted in vol. 1: pp. x-xxvii on "Roxburghe Ballads," originally in The Athenœum (23 and 30 August 1845), and his earlier edition of 1847, ending with the only available discussion of the old "medleys," in which each stanza of a satirical song ends insultingly, in rhyme, with a mocking proverb or catch-phrase. Medleys are not well understood by recent editors, who do not always recognize the proverbial nature of the punchlines. See: SANTACRUZ, below; PURSLOW, Marrow Bones; and particularly WARDROPER, Love & Drollery (1969) pp. xviii-xix and 98-102, Nos. 168, 171, "A Letter from a Lover to his Beloved," and "The Young Man's Careless Wooing, All Done out of Old English Proverbs," and his Notes on these, pp. 258-260.

_________. c. 1952. "Same," as: Cahier de Chansons de Jean-Louis Postollec .  . et de Jean Lapipe 

[pseuds.; Paris: Guy LePrat]. Note the reversal of the order of the pseudonyms in this cheap abridgment. Gives the editor-illustrator's real name on a pasted slip, but reprints only 24 of the songs, three being slipped from the Ladies side over to the Gents, to help disguise the omission of all the bawdier songs. Gay Paree!

Walcutt], "The Misfortunes of Fyfe," pp. 260-263, with elaborate anti-Freudian demonstration or reversal, by both authors. Far from being a bawdy ballad with occasional food metaphors, as it appears, this ballad is instead secretly a "coded" celebration of food symbolism, in the line of Lévi-Strauss's "Raw and Cooked" formulations, but hidden beneath its presumably sexual scenario! One trusts this is intended as a leg-pull or farce, on the style of those collected in Metafolkloristica: An Informal Anthology of Folklorists' Humor, "edited by Franz Kinder and Boaz the Clown" (P.O. Box 58183, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1989), the principal editor, "Kinder," being identified, p. 60, as "the advance man for one Jan Harold Brunvand," but who missed this one, probably the most flabbergasting of all.

[Chicago or Cincinnati?] 424, viii pp., sm.16mo. (Only known copy: David Barton-Jay, of Brattleboro, Vermont, who plans a facsimile reprint according to Clifford Scheiner, Brooklyn, N.Y.) Rare erotic miscellany of verse and prose, toasts, anecdotes, and obscœna, with humorous period drawings. Compare: Cleopatra's Scrapbook; and The Stag Party [edited by Eugene FIELD], at the same period. See also: URNL (1901 Milwaukee), possibly issued by the same publisher or private club. Note: "Gay" in this title does not mean homosexual.

Sex Songs. 1978. MS, Boulder, Colorado. (161) f. 4to, photocopied from typewriting. (copy: G. Legman.) Collection of current American erotic folksongs, obviously made by a professional folklorist, with (noncollegiate) provenances and dates of performance marked; sent anonymously for the present research.

Sex to Sexty. 1964-76? Edited by "Richard Rodman & Goose Reardon" [John NEWBERN and Peggy RODEBAUGH]. "Fort Worth, Texas: S.R.I. Pub. Co." [Arlington, Texas: John Newbern Co.] 4to, about 50 numbers published. In tandem with: Super Sex to Sexty [edited and published as above], 1967-1986? folio, about 130 numbers published. Heavily illustrated sex-humor magazines, in the style of but much freer than similar American midwest magazines of the 1920s-to-1950s: Hot Dog!; Jim Jam Jems; Captain Billy's Whiz Bang and Smokehouse Monthly; Charley Jones' Kansas City Laff-Book; the sex-tabloid newspaper Broadway Brevities (q. v.), and the students' college humor magazines published at the universities, to all of which Sex to Sexty was the last main continuator. Not verbally obscene, but heavily off-color, and including much verse and obscœna among the jokes and gags. In small part collected as The Raunchy Reader, 1965; much of the material "too-hot-to-handle" being included in Newbern's own The World's Dirtiest Jokes, 1969, of which the intended title was The Cream of the Crap, q.v. Compare: Jest on Sex, for the milder J. M. Elgart Over Sexteen series and its imitations: Sexations; Sextra Special, etc.

SHARP, Cecil. 1974. Collection of English Folk Songs. Maud Karpeles, ed. London: Oxford University Press. 2 vols., lg.8vo, with the music. Note: Despite the title, includes less than half of the Sharp MS collection of English folksongs and ballads, made from about 1900 to 1922; only 1,165 versions out of 2,470 collected being printed here. (Compare: PURSLOW; and REEVES, who earlier published a few of these texts without the music.) The Sharp MS was purposely withheld from publication for fifty years by Miss Karpeles, Sharp's former secretary and executor, despite all protests, out of recalcitrance to deal with its few very mildly erotic texts. In any case, Sharp had collected only enough to the text of any such songs to display the tunes, his own principal expurgatory interest. (Compare: RANDOLPH.) Copies of the Sharp MS are repositoried at Clare College, Cambridge, England; Harvard University Library; and the English Folk Dance and Song Society, London; and at NYPL and UCLA.

_________. , [and Olive Dame CAMPBELL]. 1932. English Folksongs from the Southern Appalachians.  Maud Karpeles, ed. London: Oxford University Press. 2 vols., lg.8vo. The first edition, New York, 1917, notes on the title page the collaboration of Ms. Campbell, who collected part of the materials.

This is the first of the unexpurgated Scottish scholarly collections after The Merry Muses of Caledonia. Compare: BUCHAN; KINLOCH; and especially MAIDMENT.

SHAY, Frank. 1927. My Pious Friends and Drunken Companions. Woodcuts by John Held, Jr. New York: Macaulay Co. Reprinted 1961, New York: Dover Pubs., with following item.

_________.  1928. More Pious Friends and Drunken Companions. New York: Macaulay Co. Reprinted 1961, New York: Dover Pubs., with preceding item. Mostly mock-sentimental songs, replacing the real bawdry of drunken singing, as in Shay's Drawn from the Wood, 1929.

_________. 1948. American Sea Songs and Chanteys. New York: Norton. First published under the infinitely better title of: Iron Men and Wooden Ships (1924, New York: Doubleday). Expurgated and "selected" texts. Compare: COLCORD; DOERFLINGER; HUGILL; and "Dave E. JONES," which last is believed to be the pseudonym used by Shay to publish the sea-chanteys omitted and expurgated here.

SHEMEL, Sidney, and William KRASILOWSKY, Esq. 1964. The Business of Music. New York. Fascinating insiders' viewpoint on the retooling of often bawdy authentic folksong into pop-culture. Compare: Oscar BRAND, The Ballad Mongers (1962); Peter SEEGER, The Incompleat Folksinger (1972); and G. LEGMAN, The Horn Book (1964) two final essays: "Who Owns Folkore?" and "Folksongs, Fakelore, and Cash."

SILVERMAN, Jerry. 1982. The Dirty Song Book. Briarcliff Manor, New York: Scarborough House/Stein & Day. xi, 177 pp., 4to, with music. Reprinted 1988 New York. Texts revised heavy-footedly into extra "dirtiness," to live up to the title. Mock-scholarly foreword, p. vii, hits rock bottom in nonfolk humor. Two French bawdy students' songs are also included, "La Pierreuse," p. 102, and "O mon berger fidèle," p. 127; and one in Mexican-Spanish, "San Marqueña," pp. 145-147.

The Slime Sheet. 1930. Paris. Not seen. Mimeographed (?) collection of bawdy songs for singing by expatriate Americans in Paris; cited by Godfrey IRWIN, presumably its editor, in the Gordon "Inferno" MS, No. 3803 (14 December 1931) for "The One-Eyed Reilly. " These various Slime and Inferno titles are lessons in the singers' ambivalent feelings about their bawdy songs. Compare the bold acceptance of Songs of Sadism, etc.; and Full Dress Suits and Plenty of Whores, q.v.; but also "Toshka BARPH"; and The Dung Heap & Cesspool Cleaners Gazette, 1980.

Smile and the World Smiles With You .  . My Contribution to the Mirth and Good Fellowship of My Friends on Guam, 1948. 1952. (5th edition, 23 May 1952.) 21 pp., 4to, mimeographed. (Copy: Harry P. Johnson, Arlington, Va.) Army miscellany of off-color jokes, poems, etc.

See larger American collections by DUNDES and PAGTER, and ORR and PRESTON, plus similar German collections, and Smith's second volume, Reproduction Is Fun (London, 1986).

SMITH, Sydney Goodsir. 1950. Burns and The Merry Muses of Caledonia. Arena (London) No. 4. Reprinted with expurgations in The Hudson Review (New York, 1954) vol. 7. This splendid essay was intended as Introduction to Smith's edition, with James Barke, of The Merry Muses of Caledonia (Edinburgh, 1959), but was unfortunately replaced there by a different Introduction by Barke, mostly drivel.

SMITH, Thomas R. 1921-22. Poética Erotica: A Collection of Rare and Curious Amatory Verse. New York: Published for Subscribers Only by Boni & Liveright. 3 vols., 8vo. (PC. 1477; Kinsey-ISR.) Abridged edition, 1927. xxx, 770 pp., lg.8vo. Reprinted [c. 1933], New York: Crown Publishers. Largely reprints of material from FARMER'S Merry Songs and Ballads, q.v., with modern art poetry added as vol. 3, "Supplementary Poems" (p. 550 to end, in 1-vol. edition). Smith was the literary editor of the publishing firm of Horace Liveright. His anonymous Immortalia (1927), and possibly The (Reno) "Wrecks," are the erotic folk supplements to this work. Compare: COLE; also Parnasse Satyrique.

SMITH, Vincent. See: Anecdota Americana: Second Series.

SMITH-HUGHES, Jack. 1953. Eight Studies injustice. London: Cassell. Refers, p. 32 ff. to the case in 1902, at Peasenhall, Suffolk, of a girl seduced and murdered by a Primitive Methodist elder, who went scot-free owing to evidence that the murdered girl "had been sufficiently intrigued by the pornographic ditties sung by the younger villagers of an evening to request the youth who lived next door to supply her with written copies of these edifying verses." These were made available to the jury in private, but were not read out in open court, and form no part of the record.

Snatches & Lays. Songs Miss Lilywhite Should never have taught us. 1962. Edited by Sebastian Hogbotel & Simon ffuckes [pseuds.: Kenneth GOTT and Stephen MURRAY-SMITH. Melbourne, Australia.] 82 pp. 4to, mimeographed. Only the cover, title page, and pp. 28, 38, and 41 are now unique, these including the following items omitted from the printed edition (below) as sacrilegious: "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" (Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene; noted as from The First Boke of Fowle Ayres, Sydney, 1944), "All the Saints in Kingdom Come," and "Sydney Orr," a topical parody of "Samuel Hall." Not to be confused with the similar Australian mimeo publication of close date, Be Pure! (Argus Tuft's Compendium of Verse). Note: Ian Turner, to whom I erroneously ascribed the editing of Snatches & Lays in Southern Folklore Quarterly (1976) vol. 40:73 ff, did not edit but only contributed to this collection of bawdy student and rugby-team songs. Part of the materials were also placed under contribution from Donald Laycock's similar MS collection, Obiter Dicta, as complained of by him in "Digging Up the Dirt," in National Review (Australia, 20 February 1976).

_________.  1973. Same. Snatches & Lays. Hogbotel & ffuckes. Melbourne: Sun Books. 112 pp., 4to. First printed edition, publicly issued. Omits (from the original edition of 1962) as sacrilegious the three songs listed above, but retains "The Ballad of Merry Mary," p. 67, on the B.V.M.

_________. 1975. Same, enlarged. (Facsimile title of 1962 edition.) Hong Kong: Boozy Company, P.O. Box 20561, Causeway Bay [The Authors]. (3), xii, 147 pp., 12mo. The best edition, reedited by K. D. Gott, with additions. This edition was reviewed by Nick Quinn in a Far East journalists' magazine, The Correspondent (Hong Kong, February 1976), clarifying the senior editor's name and marvellously captioned: "GOTT IN HYMNAL!"

Songs for the Suds. A Collection of College Party Songs. 1957. (Collection by Miss W.M.D.) MS, Fayetteville, Arkansas. Included in toto in the Randolph MS. Supplement, q.v. The "suds" are beer, these being bawdy songs for beer-busts.

Songs My Mother Never Taught Me. 1944. [New York: Pershing Rifles, City College.] Mimeographed, with a short section of limericks titled "Shitty Ditties." Compare: The Slime Sheet. Note: This work and the next not to be confused with the mild, publicly issued collection of same title (1929) by John J. NILES et al.

Songs My Mother Never Taught Me. 1963. (At head: Prudes Stay Out). [Bloomington, Indiana.] 22  f., MS, by Richard REUSS, q.v. 4to, photocopied from typewriting. (Copies: Richard Reuss, Ann Arbor, Mich.; G. Legman.) College bawdy song collection made at Ohio Wesleyan University and Indiana University in men's fraternities.

Songs of the Airdales In The Pacific. c. 1944. [Australia: Air Forces]. (At head: Restricted Material. Restricted to:—Your Mother, Your Girlfriend(s), The Chaplain, Wonks, Polly Wogs & The W.C.T.U. Presenting, from a private collection, Anonymous.) 22 f., folio, mimeographed. (Copy: G. Legman.) Rather similar in contents, though texts are not identical, to the Canadian mimeographed folio, North Atlantic Squadron.

Songs of Raunch and Ill-Repute: A Collection of songs for beer parties, stags, and church youth groups. [1958.] [Edited by David SINGMASTER and Larry CRISSMAN.] Pasadena, Calif.: SORAIR, Ricketts House, California Institute of Technology. ii, 31 f., 4to, mimeographed. (Copy: G. Legman.) Notable is the attempted division of the songs in the table of contents into levels of "nastiness" by means of a system of asterisks and dashes: "*Very very nasty; — Not so nasty; If they're blank, you can show them to your mother." Note: Owing to the tactical error, at that date, of giving the student society's correct name and address on the title, this work was seized by the authorities and most of the edition destroyed.

Songs of Roving and Raking. 1961. [John WALSH, ed. Champaign, Illinois: The Back Room Press]. iv, 125 f., 4to, with music, hektographed. (Copy: G. Legman.) Very competently edited and organized, with the musical notation.

_________. 1972. Same, enlarged, as: Roll Me Over. Harry BABAD, ed. Compiled and collected at the University of Illinois by the Illini Folk Arts Society. New York: Oak Publications. 144 pp., 4to.

LEGMAN[!] and the Rotten-Bastards Mariachi Band — Motherfuckers All! MS, New Brunswick, N.J., and New York, N.Y. 48 pp., 4to, typewritten. (Copy: G. Legman, who is not the author.) Edited and largely written by Robert BRAGG ("Robert De Mexico"). An autograph album collection, group-written, of mock and parodied folksongs and antigallant exercises, as the title indicates, to mock or punish the purported editor for having expurgated a sadistic mimeographed manuscript, The Devil's Advocate [by Robert SEWALL], one of the contributors. Includes "Violate Me In Violet Time" [by William SOSKIN], which entered authentic folk-circulation during World War II, being sung by soldiers in the character of a passion-swept girl. Compare: CROWLEY; Cythera's Hymnal; Dirt: An Exegesis; Painful Poems; and [A. C. SWINBURNE], The Whippingham Papers.

Songs of Silence. See: [Peter BUCHAN], Secret Songs of Silence.

SPAETH, Sigmund. The Facts of Life in Popular Song. 1934. New York: McGraw-Hill. Title article first appeared in American Spectator. Various other superficial articles on this theme: Shirley WILSON, "Censor Nonsense!" in: Popular Songs (N.Y., December 1934); Bennett CERF, "Who Decides what songs the American public may hear?" in: Saturday Review of Literature (New York, 8 March 1947); Philip WYLIE, "Songs for Sinners," in: Music Business (June 1950) p. 12; and the following.

_________. "Salacious In Our Alley: The Sallies of our Tin Pan Alley Songwriters are Getting a

Bit That Way." 1945. MS, New York. (Copy: G. Legman.) Unpublished article, written by Spaeth on assignment for Fulton Oursler, editor of Liberty Magazine, but never published, as Spaeth explained, "Oursler evidently losing his nerve." Compare: EGLIS; NIEMOELLER; OLIVER; TOBIASON; and URDANG.

SPEAIGHT, George. 1975. Bawdy Songs of the Early Music Hall. Newton Abbot, Devon: David & Charles. 96 pp., sm.4to. Reprints a number of bawdy parodies from "smutty songsters" of the 1850s, with their tunes. Compare: NETTEL; SCOTT; The Cuckold's Nest; and The Rambler's Flash Songster; also The Rakish Rhymer.

Spicy Breezes. c. 1930. [Vignette: two black cats affrontés. United States]. 52 pp., 12mo. (Unique copy: Kinsey-ISR.) Erotic humor miscellany of prose and verse. Note: A typographically very similar pamphlet of close date also exists, giving all the purple passages from PETRONIUS Arbiter's Satyricon in English translation, to accompany an expurgated 1920s edition. In this case the two title animals are goats. Title page: "Supplement to the Satyricon of T. PETRONIUS Arbiter: Containing Precise Paraphrases of Particular and Peculiar Portions which as a Precautionary Pandering to Prudence, Prudery, Prejudice or Policy were not Permitted to be Present in Previous Publications Produced for the Public, and are now Privately Printed." [Philadelphia? Satyr Bookshop?] 1926. (8) pp., 16mo. Noted as "Satyr Series of Supplements, No. 1," but no more published. The indicated pagination refers this supplement to the expurgated edition of the Satyricon of Petronius published in London: Simpkin, Marshall [c. 1925?] in the Abbey Classics series, No. 18. (Copy: G. Legman.)

SPINKLER, Edgar. 1913. Gross-Russische erotische Volkdichtung. Anthropophytéia 10:330-353. Discussion in German, and untranslated examples in Russian only, owing to government censorship case against Anthropophytéia, of which this was therefore the final volume. The 67 or more full Russian texts of the songs (and German translations?) not printed here were presumably to be issued privately by the editor, Friedrich S. KRAUSS, strictly for "Gelehrten unter geschlossenem Umschlag." This supplementary fascicule, if it was actually printed off from the set type, has not been seen. See also: KRAUSS and WEBINGER, and compare: Mejdu Druziami; and Luka Mudishchev, which is noted by Spinkler at 10:353. Also: Folklore de la Grande Russie (et de l'Ukraine).

Der Spittelberg und seine Lieder. See: BLÜMML.

Splinters from the Log-book of "Our" Lodge. What I Saw and Heard, Through the Keyhole of Room Number [?] the First Night of the Marriage of a Young Couple. c. 1890. [England?] Broadside, folio. (Unique copy: Leslie Shepard, Dublin.) Erotic broadside ballad, one of the latest such in date ever recovered, possibly issued for a Masonic lodge. Some earlier owner of this very folded and dilapidated copy has written in ink in the top margin: "Read & Burn."

Sportive Wit: The Muses Merriment. A New Spring of Lusty Drollery, Joviall Fancies, and A la mode Lampounes .  . Collected for the Publick good, by a Club of Sparkling Wits. 1656. London: Nath. Brook. (Copy: Bodleian Library; and MS copy, Harvard University) Edited by John PHILLIPS, the nephew of Milton. Original title was to have been Love and Mirth, or Jovial Drollery. All copies were ordered destroyed by the Puritan authorities on publication. The rarest of the drolleries and one of the most interesting. See "The First Beginning," reprinted by WARDROPER, Love & Drollery, No. 385, the original text of a song now extant only in nursery expurgation, with the (jesting) remark that this sample "will make some readers wish no copy of the book had escaped Cromwell's burning order." See also: Courtney SMITH; at STOKES.

Stag Bar Supplement to Songs of S.E.A. and other places, other things (Item 2). c. 1967? [Ubon, Thailand? "Wolfpack" 8th Tactical Fighter Wing] Supplement of bawdy songs to main collection, Songs of S.E.A. (provenance probably as above. Copy: C. Wm. Getz, who gives this provenance in his own "Stag Bar Supplement" to The Wild Blue Yonder, 1986, vol. II: section TT, page 3, col. 2.) See also: BENTLY; BURKE; HOPKINS; STARR; and WALLRICH.

The Stag Party. 1888-89. (This Book contains:.  . The Chestnut Club Yarns .  . and thousands of other stories, full of pith and point). [Chicago: Daily News Press? or Boston: The Papyrus Club?]. (296) pp., unnumbered, 12mo. (Only three copies known: Kinsey-ISR; Denver Public Library; and Yale University Library, defective, lacking 2 leaves.) The Yale copy contains an important MS annotation on Eugene FIELD'S editing of this work, and his close escape from legal trouble because of it: "See Luyeneker on the Grand Jury & Gene Field's Books — He recommended an indictment — Freeman was Field's friend & saved him." Date of the book is shown by reference (p. 144) to defeat of Grover Cleveland in the 1888 presidential election, observing that "he will never see Washington again"; thus unaware that he was reelected in 1892. See other internal proofs from dates of Field's erotic writings by 1889, in Harry J. MOONEY, Jr., "The Sub Rosa Writings of Eugene Field," in: Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America (1978) 72:541-552, based on Field MSS in the Denver Public Library, Fieldiana Collection; and elsewhere. The Stag Party gives a very large repertory of American humorous erotic poems, storiettes, and obscœna, including almost all the erotic pieces by Eugene FIELD, whose classic pornographicum "Only A Boy?" is here first printed. Of contemporary collections, only Select Reading, q.v., approaches this in repertory; and compare: Bibliothèque Erotique; Cleopatra's Scrapbook; The Book of a Thousand Laughs and Select Reading. A perhaps similar work, The Proceedings of the Sackahoominy Society [Boston, Mass.] 1860, 12mo, is noted in Clowes's Bibliotheca Arcana (1885) no. 517, but no copy is known and this may have been of erotic tales only, without verse, except in the stories, as with Randiana, q.v. On the early Italian origins of these erotic and burlesque "academies," see G. LEGMAN, The Horn Book, pp. 384, 476; and Gaudeamus Igitur, here.

(1), v, 121 f., 4to, hektographed; with f. 9a, and an almost illegible Smegmafax Addenda (1959), comprising f. 122-152, not present in most of the 100 copies issued. (Copy: G. Legman.) The best and most extensive of the American Air Force privately issued bawdy song collections, and one of the few giving the compiler's name. (Compare: ANDERS.) Based in part on a similar collection, Stovepipe Serenade, by a woman, Logan BENTLY; and Death Rattlers, 1951. Compare: Aloha Jigpoha; North Atlantic Squadron; GETZ; HOPKINS; PAGE; and WALLRICH.

STAUB, Théo. 1981. L'Enfer erotique de la chanson folklorique française. Plan de la Tour (Var), France: Éditions d'Aujourd'hui. 2 vols. in 1, sq.8vo, reproduced from typewriting. Ph.D. thesis (Université de Nice, May 1978), the author being in his seventies. Outstandingly the best, and only scholarly edition of the French students' erotic Chansons de Salles de Garde, q.v. The author's introduction is not on a par with his critical and historical notes to the text, but opens the subject of French medical and art student obscenity to serious discussion. Compare: MARTY; LENOIR; DOMINIQUE; REUSS; TILLOT; and Anthologie Hospitalière et Latinesque. Note also: Tonus, in the DISCOGRAPHY, in progress.

College course assignment paper, divided into "Children's Songs," mostly aggressive, and "College Songs," mostly bawdy. Of the latter Stolz observes: "Two helpful [male] friends wrote down the verses they were embarrassed to sing to me and sent them by mail." Compare: Texas Fraternity Songs; and GOLDSTONE.

(Copies: University of Nevada, Reno; G. Legman.) Bawdy songs and poems divided into mild and raw sections, for unexplained purposes. Issued by the Reno "Wrecks," a sporting club who from their name seem to be resting up after taking the cure: a main subject of the poems is impotence. Volume is dated by reference, p. 117, to the Depression, and a mocking closing reference to a "Hoover button," referring to the presidential election of 1932. Largely derived from Immortalia, and may have been edited for the club by Thomas R. SMITH, using his rejectamenta from that work in addition to the club's own repertory. Two other editions (not seen) are reported: one entitled Reno Wrecks, [c. 1940?] which may be the present edition or a reprint; the other apparently an earlier, shorter collection, entitled in "pig Latin," The X-Ray.
