Correct Paul, way off the mark! :lol:

Mr. Bojangles (written by Jerry Jeff Walker, I believe) danced for you. Not sure if he had a wife, but he travelled about with his dog.

Lately, the secret to picking songs that can be identified here is to pick really old songs!

Thanks Peter. I think you might be right.

Here’s a mixture of old and topical.

Sorry, not Abba.

But there may be a connection (of sorts) between your guess and the title of the song.

Indeed it is! I thought it appropriate to come up with a World Cup themed song.

I was born during the Truman presidency, but do not remember him!

I think a burger (with fries) and a coke was 75 cents when I was in Junior High School.

All that being said, no idea about a song with those lyrics. It does seem like something 1960's folk singers might have written, or perhaps Woody Guthrie.
