Flender Fly

Cat. #1394 (MFH #369) - As sung by Joan O'Bryant, Wichita, Kansas on

VERSE 1
I closed th door to Flender Fly
Both locks and bolts did shutter
That pretty girl I loved so well
And 'er name it was Annie Willow

VERSE 2
I went along to 'er Mother's house
Inquring of my jewel
Said, she, young man there's none such here
Once you was so cruel

VERSE 3
I hadn't been there but a very short time
When in came her Mother
Said she, young man be better than I
Sell one an' save the other

VERSE 4
I closed th door to Flender Fly
Both locks and bolts did shutter
That pretty girl that I loved so well
And 'er name it was Annie Willow
