Mr John Frushour says that "the first ending was when you were singing it
around girls."
The song "Two Irishmen" is very rare but it has been collected by Ed Cray and
is found in The Erotic Muse 2nd ed. on pgs 261-62.
Commercial examples of this song are also quite rare but do compare the above
song with the Australian issued song
Old King Solomon sung by Johnny Logan on the Sexy Songs! LP. Also listen to
the version called
Mammie
Had A Baby on The Unexpurgated
Folk Songs of Men LP recorded in 1959.
