mAbby Sale: A dirty song
I still haven't been able to locate _Rugby Songs_ & _More..._.
Interlibrary loan has been no help.  However, the endless quest
for quality & tradition has provided me with an abbreviated
American version.  It's a single volume of selections from the
two books: _Locker Room Ballads_; (still no author) with a new
intro by Michael Green; (C) 1967 & 1968, Ace Books, NY, #441-48800-060.

Not many greats on the level of "Eskimo Nell" but a few good memories
of time-honored classics.  The Locker Room, Campfire, Barracks songs:

(Prudes be cautioned, dirty words & humor ensues)



CHRISTOPHER COLUMBO



In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
A man whose name was Chris
Stood by the Trevi fountain
Indulging in a piss.

CHORUS:
   His balls they were so round-o
   His cock hung to the ground-o
   That fornicating, copulating
   son-of-a-bitch Columbo.

Along did come the Queen of Spain
And glimpsing there his dong,
Forthwith was smitten with desire
And knew not right from wrong.

"Oh, Isabelle," Columbo said,
A-waving of his balls,
"The world is round as these are,
I feel that duty calls."

"Just wait a bit," said Isabelle.
"And don't forget essentials,
For I've a mind to have a grind
And check on your credentials."

She gave her guest no time for rest,
The pace was fairly killing,
With legs apart he gave the tart
A cream and cherry filling.

For forty days and forty nights
He sailed the broad Atlantic,
Columbo and his scurvy crew
For want of a screw were frantic.

And when they got to Yankee land
They spied a Yankee harlot
When they came her cunt was lilly-white
When they left her cunt was scarlet.

With lustful shout they ran about
And practiced copulation
And when they left to sail away
They doubled the population.

And when his men pulled out again,
And reckoned all their score up,
They'd caught a pox from every box
That syphilized all Europe.                      A slander, but that's the
                                                 folk process for you.
