[Dixielandjazz] Maria Muldaur songs for OKOM

[david richoux]

that sounds like it might work, melody may be similar but the basic 
lyrics to DYFML are:


> Don’t you feel my leg, don’t you feel my leg
> cause when you feel my leg your going to feel my thigh
> and if you feel my thigh your going to tell a lie
> so don’t you feel my leg
>
> Don’t you drink that wine, don’t you drink that wine,
> cause when you drink that wine you’ll try and change my mind
> and if you change my mind you’ll feel my fine behind,
> so don’t you feel my leg.
>
> You said you’d take me out like a gentleman- treat me fine,
> though I know that’s just something at the back of your mind.
> If you keep drinking oh your going to get fresh
> and you’ll wind up begging for this fine, fine flesh.
>
> Don’t you feel my leg, don’t you feel my leg
> cause when you feel my leg your gonna feel my thigh,
> and if you feel my thigh you gonna go up high,
> so don’t you feel my leg

(Blue Lu Barker and Danny Barker are credited with the lyrics and song)

the other song is known as "Alabama Bound:"

> I’m Alabama bound (I’m Alabama bound)
> I’m Alabama bound (I’m Alabama bound)
> And if the train don’t stop and turn around
> I’m Alabama bound (I’m Alabama bound)
>
> Oh, don’t you leave me here (don’t you leave me here)
> Oh, don’t you leave me here (don’t you leave me here)
> But if you must go anyhow
> Leave me a dime for beer (Leave me a dime for beer)
>
> Oh, don’t you be like me (Oh, don’t you be like me)
> Oh, don’t you be like me (Oh, don’t you be like me)
> You can drink your good Sherry wine
> And let the whiskey be (And let the whiskey be)

(and whoever first wrote that is not quite evident  - maybe  Charlie 
"Catfish" Patton?)
