Hello Dennis. I took his post as sarcasm. He was making fun of Pelosi, because that's basically what she said when she complained about sending the migrants north. I got accused of racism by Denny when I made a similar post. I hate putting the sarcasm tag after a post because it ruins the effect IMHO.
The Ardvark has spoken. Good onya! Mates don't let mates go uninformed.
Take Me Back To Tulsa by Bob Wills was positively union bolshie.
*"Little bee sucks the blossom, big bee gets the honey,
Dark man picks the cotton, White man gets the money." Bob Wills and Tommy Duncan
Bob Wills - Take me back to Tulsa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCjbMdY8dZE* Those lyrics have an interesting history of bowdlerization.
" ... Wills's organization was based in Tulsa from 1934 to 1942, and the song takes its name from the chorus: "Take me back to Tulsa, I'm too young to marry".
Lyrically, the song is a series of unrelated, mostly nonsense, rhyming couplets. One was:
Little bee sucks the blossom, big bee gets the honey.
Darkie raise the cotton, white man gets the money.
The last quoted line was changed by 1946 by Wills to: "Little man raise the cotton, beer joints get the money."[5] (Modern covers of the song have tended to use the line: "Poor boy picks the cotton, Rich man gets the money").
When Wills was asked about the lines, he said they were just nonsense lyrics that he learned as a youth.[6] Though Wills did not know its origin, the couplet actually derives from a 19th century song of enslaved African Americans, a version of which also appeared in print in the 1880 novel My Southern Home by William Wells Brown.[7]
When played at Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa and other venues, it often included the lines:
Would I like to go to Tulsa? Boy I sure would.
Well, let me off at Archer, and I'll walk down to Greenwood.
