oh, Josie

(ed: Paul has sent in an utterly non-PC verse, chanted by his mother. I'm not sure if he or his mother was born in 1917 in Agecroft Lancs. UK, but either way it comes from the mid 1920s so I added it in despite the non-PC language and somewhat racist undertones:

There was a little nigger boy,
His knees were double jointed,
He gave me a kiss
And he left me disappointed.
He gave me another,
Just to match the other,

Oh, Josie, I'll tell your mother,
Kissing little nigger boys down by the river.
