NOTES [82 words]: Whew. That this piece had entered oral tradition (if the phrase is appropriate) is shown by the memoirs of one William E. Jarvis, who recounts that when he served in the US navy at Shanghai, 1947, he had a friendship with a girl named Amy Lo, and his shipmates taunted him by referring to her as "One Hung." - PJS
Paul originally tagged this as a recitation, and no tune seems to have been preserved, but given that several sources list it as a song, I have tentatively removed that tag. - RBW
