Description: This song appears to be influenced by European teaching. The dirty must reflect the inevitable emotions of an ill-matched couple and the husband's rebellion. Sung no doubt only by men in the village. "Mother of child, get out of the house and take your child in case I should throw him out like a worthless thing. Party song.
