B (con’t)

.A second song I would like information on is one we had on a 78 that was called "BURNT HORSE FLESH". Do you know anything about this song?
Any information you might be able to provide on these two songs would be greatly appreciated.
thank you,
Jeff

ED. Note:  Here is a website that sheds light on a good example of “climax of horrors” stories:
<http://www.snopes.com/horrors/freakish/climax.asp>

“Folklorists have collected samples of what has come to be called "The Climax of Horrors" dating well into the nineteenth century. In 1879, a version titled "How to Tell Bad News" appeared in McGuffey's Fifth Eclectic Reader. But it's even older than that. . . a version was harvested from an 1841 English miscellany, and one of our readers points out its appearance as a French song dating back to at least the 1500s.”
