CABBAGE HEAD
(traditional)
(o): Rabbit Foot Minstrels (1920) label:
European origin, somewhere between Scotland and Germany, why not from the low lands. This is the ballad of the man coming home every evening, drunk as drunk can be, only half realising he's no longer the only man around. Who drank from my cup? Who's sleeping in my bed? That's no head, says his wife, that's a cabbage. Relates with both Seven Drunken Nights and Snowy White & the Seven Dwarfs.
