Nonie Rider | Saccharine Overload (songs) (103* d) | RE: Saccarine Overload | 11 Dec 97 |
Having heard both major versions of Weela Wallia (however spelled), I gather there's a traditional crime ballad in which an unwed mother stabs her baby in the heart and is executed for it, and a farcical modern version in which she stabs the baby in the head (odd place to choose...), with wonderful klunker lines like "The moral of this story is/Don't stick a knife in t'babby's head." |
