“Mammy in the Kitchen”
Description
"Mammy in the kitchen cookin' pink beans; Daddie on the ocean dodgin' submarines."
Notes
Since this was collected in 1919, it clearly refers to World War I and the German submarine blockade of Great Britain. It is said to have been sung by soldiers in France. It's unfortunate that we don't have more of it. - RBW
