Boy Scouts and The Tattooed Lady

`
While proofing the audiobook version of my short story collection, one of the stories "The Candy Bar Game" the setting and background is roughly drawn from my experience as a Boy Scout.

Our scout master, Mr. Smyth, was an interesting guy with a wry sense of humor, and I was thinking about him. I recalled being roughly a First Class scout, and hearing Mr. Smyth sing The Tattooed Lady. For some reason that song/memory stuck with me.

I decided to look it up, because you can find anything on the internet. I only recalled bits and pieces of the song. So, here it is, although Mr. Smyth didn't sing it with a British accent.
