This song is known by various names, mostly She Was Poor but She was Honest or It's the Same the Whole World Over. Every community in the UK has a different version and lyrics vary, from the moderately pithy to the irredeemably filthy. I remember the song from my youth and one of the cleaner verses went thusShe stood on the bridge at midnight,Blowing kisses at the moon.She said she was a virgin, But she spoke too f***** soon,You get the picture.The original is an English Musichall standard from 1930 and is a rather twee tragic-comic ballad.
