- Description
- This singer makes up all his accompaniments for his humorous songs and sketches which are in the true line of rombe minstrel material. This wife had nothing to do, so she packed up her clothes and left. The people there did not like her. (Wife) "Pack up quickly, pack up quick. Is this the reason why you took me from my homw? Why do you give me this sorrow? This tray of my mother's, I will never leave it here. This that I brought with me from my home." (Man) "Take it away! Do you think I cannot get another wife?" (Wife) "Your mother gave you a dog's heart to eat! Your mother! Had I known all this I would never have come." (Mother-in-law) "Leave her, let her go! Do you think all women are as bad as her?" (Man) "You, mother, you gave me bad advice." Humorous song.
