BARNACLE BILL THE SAILOR
“Barnacle Bill the Sailor” (Roud 4704) is an American drinking song adapted from “Bollocky Bill the Sailor”, a traditional folk song originally titled “Abraham Brown”. (More from Wikipedia)
Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts played dance hits of the day interspersed with bawdy songs that included “My Ding-a-Ling” (long before Chuck Berry had his sole #1 hit with “My Ding-a-Ling” in 1972), “Baby Let Me Bang Your Box” (later played at the end of the New York porno cable program, The Robin Byrd Show), “Big Jugs” (a reworking of the Jimmy Dean song “Big John”), “Barnacle Bill the Sailor”, “Two Old Maids”, and “Gay Caballero”.
