I'm hip Chris:

Perhaps Dan got his source info from Danny Barker's book: "Buddy  
Bolden and the Last Days of Storyville" (page 20 & 21) See below quote  
which mentions "Pretty Pretty Mama" and "All The Whores":

"Around eleven o'clock the crowd would get heated up and Buddy would  
play such nice love songs - like":

"If You Don't Like My Potatoes, Why Do You Dig So Deep.
Your Mammy Don't Wear No Drawers, She Wears Six Bit Overalls.
Stick it Where You Stuck it Last Night.
Let me Be Your Li'l Dog Till Your Big Dog Comes.
Don's Send Me No Roses 'Cause Shoes Is What I Need
Pretty Pretty Mama, Open Your Legs One More Time
All The Whores Like The Way I Ride
Melpomene Street Blues
The Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor."

Folks can read some of this book (well worth it)  at: (Or better  yet  
folks on the List should BUY this book to understand what jazz was  
like at the very beginning)
