Sac O' Potatoes

Written By - Bobsy Bob Rougeaux
(translated into Irish by Mad Cow McGinty & the Futin mout twins)
Performed By - Bulging Spud

While visiting Ireland for a brief rest break in the mid 50's, Bobsy Bob Rougeaux met the very talented but very controversial Hash & Baker Brown of 'Bulging Spud'. Taken by their explicit lyrics & the hard-core graphic sexual illustrations on their album covers, Bobsy agreed to write a song for them. The piece is one of Bobsy's best, and one of Spuds last.
