I know nothing about the first but my fatherinlaw has a 78 with cover titled Slap Her Down Again Pa, Slap Her Down Again. The songs about the sister not being quite the lady. It's hilarious!

That sounds delightful! Almost as nice as:

This cover leads me to wonder the relationship is between the 2 people ::

I remember that song...great one! I haven't heard it in a good 20 years but I can still remember the chorus. I was able to find all the lyrics. Arthur Godfrey originally sang this lovely little ditty.

So, here's a MUSICAL INTERLUDE:

"Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Make her tell us more pa

Tell us where she's been

We don't want our neighbors

Talkin' bout our kin

Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Well pa and ma were so darn sore

They woke me up one night

There was an awful cussin'

And ma said pa was right

They was a-waitin' sister Bess

Who never kept her word

The Sun came up as Bess came in

And this is what I heard

Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Make her tell us more pa

Tell us where she's been

We don't want our neighbors

Talkin' bout our kin

Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Now poor old Bess got so darn mad

She ran away one day

To meet that travellin' salesman

With city-slickin' ways

We ran and stood beside them though

With shotguns by our sides

Me and Deke and pa and ma

Who yelled as they came by

Why don't you slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Yeah, make her tell us more pa

Tell us where she's been

You know that we don't want our neighbors

Talkin' bout our kin

Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Now ma and pa they planned for Bess

To marry Deacon Brown

And not that travellin' salesman

Who always came around

They made poor Bessie go to church

Her face was mighty red

The deacon took one look at her

And this is what he said

Oh, slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Make her tell us more pa

Tell us where she's been

We don't want our neighbors

Talkin' bout our kin

Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Doesido

Oh yes hot stuff

Well the moral of this story girls

Is don't stay out too late

Unless you take your shoes off

Outside your pappy's gate

If ma don't hear you comin' in

She won't lay down the law

And you won't have to worry

Cause you won't see much of pa

Ohhh Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Make her tell us more pa

Tell us where she's been

We don't want our neighbors

Talkin' bout our kin

Slap her down again pa

Slap her down again

Take that and that and that"
