Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud
1906. I'm not sure about that "never a boast or brag" part
We sang that in school back in the day--I thought that line was pretty weird too. After all, we studied the western folk stories too, learning about the bragging contests.
There are many one-syllable words that rhyme with "flag." Nag, gag, bag, sag, crag, wag...all of them tough to put into a verse like that.
