Old Tune - JOHNNY - Anonymous
As Remembered by: Tom Hyland - 03-03-08

Hi Mr.  Ed:

Your phrase “me wifey” just reminded me of an old tune -

"OH, Johnny came home the other night, as drunk as he could be,
saw a horse in the stall, where his horse ought to be!

OH, wifey Dear, come over here, explain this thing to me,
what's this horse doing in this stall, where my horse should be?

"OH, you crazy fool, you drunken fool, you're blind and cannot see,
'tis nothing but a milking cow that Momma sent to me!'

OH, I've travelled this wide world over, a thousand times or more,
but a saddle on a milking cow, I never did see before!

OH, Johnny came home the other night, as drunk as he could be,
saw a head on the couch, where his head ought to be!

OH, wifey Dear, come over here, explain this thing to me,
what's this head doing on the couch, where my head should be?

OH, you crazy fool, you drunken fool, you're blind and cannot see,
'tis nothing but a cabbage head, that Momma sent to me!

OH, I've travelled this wide world over, a thousand times or more,
but whiskers on a cabbage head, I never did see before!"

There's another verse, but my ole grey cells only remember these two, as the tune and sing-song melody are from about 60 years ago!

Think I'll now copy & paste this to AD - for Posterity!

Maybe another Ole Fart knows the missing verse?

Pax Tecum ...  Tom.
