The Girl I Left Behind Me

[ D ]

Oh, I stuck my nose up a nannygoat's ass
The stink was enough to blind me,
And I left my prick for a walking stick
With the girl I left behind me. 


	The Canfield collection offers yet another ditty set to "The Girl I Left Behind Me," and can be dated to 1926.  The same was sung by fiddle player Walt Taylor of Bridgeport, Michigan, for Paul Gifford in the late 1970's.

	The Bigford collection, made in Michigan circa 1982 but dating to the first decades of the century, has the "jumped-in-bed"/"lied-like-hell" verses.
