RECORDINGS:
Charles S. Brink, "My Pretty Girl Has Your Boy Come" (in BayardCollection, video 08 ("Charles S. Brink #6" starting at 04.20))
NOTES [43 words]: The description is Charles Brink's version. There is no information about the song on the tape so my "playparty" keyword is a guess. Charles Brink's tune is close to "Ten Little Indians." I don't find any of the phrases in his two verses in any song I have. - BS
