Cock of the East and West

 COCK OF THE EAST AND WEST. Canadian, Jig. Canada, Prince Edward's Island. G Major. Standard tuning. AAB. Bayard (1981) collected these bawdy lyrics with the tune: Cock of the East and West And cock of the North and South, And if you don't get out of me way, I'll put me cock in your mouth. Bayard says: "After reciting these lines, the player seemed to have some compunctions, for he promptly remarked 'I'm afraid you fellers has formed the idea that I'm drastic!' ('Drastic' was the word he habitually used to characterise anything lewd or outrageous)." Source for notated version: Simmons (Prince Edward Island, 1930's) [Bayard].
