Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 18th Printing. FOLK HUMOR FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SONGBOOK. 'A curious collection of somewhat salty classics seldom sung in Sunday schools.' from the dust jacket. For generations, the liveliest songs were often the least likely to appear in respectable songbooks. Bawdy Ballads and Lusty Lyrics gathers the ribald, humorous, and irreverent verses that circulated in taverns, military camps, colleges, and informal gatherings, preserving a tradition of popular entertainment that flourished largely through oral transmission. As the dust jacket aptly describes it, this is 'A curious collection of somewhat salty classics seldom sung in Sunday schools.' More than a novelty, the volume documents a long-standing current of comic folk culture that existed alongside more familiar traditional ballads. HUMOR, SATIRE, AND THE ORAL TRADITION. The songs collected here reflect the wit, exaggeration, and earthy humor that have long been part of Anglo-American folk traditions. Intended for adult audiences, they illustrate how music served not only as entertainment but also as social commentary, parody, and comic relief. While many of the lyrics had circulated for decades before appearing in print, collections such as this helped preserve material that might otherwise have remained ephemeral. PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Publisher's cloth binding with the original illustrated dust jacket. Octavo. A compact and attractive mid-century production by Droke House. CONDITION: Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean with light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. The dust jacket shows modest edge wear and general age-toning while remaining complete and attractive. Previous owner's name neatly written inside. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - PRESERVING FOLK HUMOR. While collectors often focus on traditional ballads and sentimental songs, humorous and risqué folk lyrics formed an equally vibrant part of everyday musical life. This anthology preserves a body of material that was rarely issued by mainstream publishers and more commonly passed from singer to singer. A WINDOW INTO POPULAR CULTURE. The collection illustrates changing standards of humor, language, and social convention during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Today it offers readers a glimpse into the informal entertainment of soldiers, students, laborers, and travelers, reminding us that folk traditions have always embraced both the respectable and the irreverent. CONTENT HIGHLIGHTS +++ Traditional comic and bawdy folk songs. +++ Songs preserved from oral tradition. +++ Adult humor and satirical verse. +++ An enduring favorite among collectors of folk music and Americana. SUBJECTS: Folk Songs; Bawdy Ballads; American Humor; Oral Tradition; Songbooks; Popular Culture; Americana; Droke House, Folk Music; Humor; Americana; Social History; Songsters.…
