Di missus mit di finf borders (The landlady with five boarders) Yiddish vaudeville theater song - Video
PUBLISHED:  May 21, 2015
DESCRIPTION:
On the broadside there were only four verses and four boarders. I guess there was no room for the last one. This song does not make whole lot of sense, but neither did the original (the songsheet from around 1910 specified that it be sung to the tune of "Tammany," which is itself pretty obnoxious). Part of my project researching the songs in the book "American Yiddish Penny Songs," see http://yiddishpennysongs for more info.
