I'm afraid your leg has been pulled. I remember the New Lost City Ramblers
having a series of joke song titles and this was one of them. I think Tom
Paley may have been the original perpetrator; was he in attendance at your
meeting by any chance? Some of the other titles I can remember them using were
"Run em into the roundhouse mother, they'll never corner you there;" and "You
can lock me in jail, but you can't keep my face from breaking out." They also
used to introduce Tom Paley (or possibly John Cohen) as having gone to Yale,
whereupon he would say, with an effort at a Swedish accent, "Yah, I yust got
out." Hope this explains the mystery. Shel Sandler

challenge & wrote some lyrics to the tune (roughly) of My Name is John
Johanna (Kelly Harrell) which went
I am an old cowpuncher, I punch them cows so hard
I got an old cow punching bag set up in my back yard
The bar is made of leather, and so are cows of course
When I get tired of punching cows I go and punch my HORSE
One day as I was punching All on my leather cow
An Indian approached me and boldly asked me how
I said it was quite easy, he answered with a shrug
And the very next word that Indian said to me that day was UGH
I'm so lonesome in the saddle ever since my old horse died
But when I walk along at night I think she's at my side
I'm glad you listened to me, I'll not detain you long
I am an old cowpuncher with an old cowpuncher's song
Whether it's original to John and Tony I am not quite sure-- will either of
them admit it?

Other favorites were
"I'm so miserable without you, it's almost like having you here."
"You can take all my love and shove it up your heart."
By the way, the "they can't keep my face from breaking out" title was
introduced as a teenage love song.
Lyle Lofgren
Oh, and how could I forget another Rambler's favorite title, the
uniquely American "I'd give a thousand dollars to be a Millionaire."
Peter Shenkin
ANother irreverent title I seem to recall them using is "Sliding down
the bannister, and I hope I don't get a thorn in my career."

: How about:
: HOW CAN I MISS YOU IF YOU WON'T GO AWAY?
a real song (recorded by Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks).
I've always thought that made a nice answer song to "Will You Miss me
When I'm Gone?"...
How about
"Grandma, get off the stove - you're too old to ride the range"
