Sounds like the sort of think Saville would have as a desert island disc Blush

It was the theme song for those Rotherham gentlemen that enriched so many lives.

Who on earth would want to listen to songs by a group of adult males singing about a 'little' schoolgirl? 

I've never heard this song before (by any artiste, let alone the 'best version….ever')  and so out of curiosity looked up the lyrics. The lyrics are as disturbing as I feared, and doubtless this song was rarely off the airwaves in Rotherham, Rochdale and umpteen towns elsewhere. Just awful.

Most unseemly.

Sonny Boy Williamson I recorded "Good Morning, School Girl" in 1937 during his first recording session for Bluebird Records.[1] The song is an uptempo blues with an irregular number of bars.[3] Although identified with Chicago blues, a write-up in the Blues Hall of Fame notes "it was a product of Sonny Boy’s west Tennessee roots and his pre-Chicago ensemble work".[1] The melody has been traced to “Back and Side Blues”, a 1934 blues song recorded by Son Bonds. "Good Morning, School Girl" features Williamson's vocal and harmonica with accompaniment by Big Joe Williams and Robert Lee McCoy (also known as Robert Nighthawk) on guitars.


Brings to mind the Blazing saddles spoof line...''Hey, where the white women at?''.
