The most erotic song has got to be Ingrid Burgman by Wppdy Guthrie. Burgman was an actress contemporary to him, and aparently he took a likin to her. Anyways, here’s the lyrics


Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman,

Let´s go make a picture

On the island of Stromboli, Ingrid Bergman


Ingrid Bergman, you´re so perty,

You´d make any mountain quiver

You´d make my fire fly from the crater

Ingrid Bergman


This old mountain it´s been waiting

All ist life for you to work it

For your hand to touch the hardrock,

Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman


If you´ll walk across my camera,

I will flash the world your story,

I will pay you more than money, Ingrid Bergman


Not by pennies dimes nor quarters,

But with happy sons and daughters,

And they´ll sing around Stromboli,

Ingrid Bergman


Sadly there are no recording of Woody Guthery singing this song. Presumably because if he tried fire would fly from his crater. But Billy Bragg and Wilco did a rendition of it that is absolutely lovely. https://youtu.be/Qv5qrflT6g0?si=INWX4wXg3ebfr7pz
