Jerry Jeff Walker wrote "Mr. Bojangles" for his 1968 album. While in jail for intoxication in New Orleans he met a homeless street performer who called himself Bojangles (no relation to the famous singer and tap dancer Bill "Bojangles" Robinson). The next year the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band recorded their version, and Sammy Davis Jr. made the song a regular in his shows.

This song lauds (the fictional) Charlie Mops, credited as the inventor of beer. It was popular in the 19th century British Music Halls, but is thought to pre-date that. It's a good, rousing pub song as well.  Many thanks to Chris Simmons for suggesting this song.

"Salty Dog Blues" is a folk song from the early 1900s. A “salty dog” is a promiscuous boyfriend, so he’s not making the greatest offer to Sal. The song never reveals whether she takes him up on it. Who knows? Maybe she’s “salty” too?
