bawdy

older word for vulgar or lewd.

"During his last 10 years, the Reverend, for some reason, performed a couple of bawdy songs in public. This is one of them, it is indeed very old-time-sounding with some vaudeville overtones. I love it, though I am not very fond of the SM lyrics. I think it is rather difficult to play! Have tried a couple of times and it is very hard, much harder than, for example, Blind Blakes "Arthurs breakdown". - Comment on 'Reverend Gary Davis - She Wouldn't Say Quit.'
