    I have to admit, when I first joined this forum, and saw the word coworker.
    I thought what a lot of farmers are members.

    We say co-worker.

    Up the duff, being the wife is pregnant or any women come to that, or its a naval term for a pudding on board ship, or its something that does not work.

    I think your find its instead of using the F word, as in dang me, dang me, they alt to take a rope and hang, hang me from the highest tree, cant remember any more come to a blank, will have a think when I get in the olive grove.

    By the way a duff can be made with any thing even figs or made in a roll with jam rolled up in a cloth to be cooked the way most duffs was cooked they was made by the seaman on cooks duty that day, and he also served the food that day.

    Well over quick cupper I also found that but also found the words.

    Well, here I sit high, gettin' ideas
    Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this
    Out all night and runnin' wild
    Woman sittin' home with a month-old child

    Dang me, dang me
    They oughta take a rope and hang me
    High from the highest tree
    Woman, would you weep for me?

    Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys
    Six rounds bought, and I bought five
    And I spent the groceries and half the rent
    Like fourteen dollars and twenty-seven cents

    Dang me, dang me
    They oughta take a rope and hang me
    High from the highest tree
    Woman, would you weep for me?

    Roses are red and violets are purple
    Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple
    Well I'm the seventh out of seven sons
    My pappy's a pistol, I'm a son-of-a-gun

    Well, dang me, dang me
    They oughta take a rope and hang me
    High from the highest tree
    Woman, would you weep for me? Writer/s: ROGER MILLER
