I think I have a winner here.  There's an old blues song that predates rock
entirely called "Do Your Duty".  Somewhere around here I have a cd transfer
of a scratchy 78 wherein we hear Bessie Smith (I think) urging her man:

"Daddy, when you're down on your luck,
 Give your lover your last f**k.
 Do your duty."


Relayer:
 I've been wondering what the first song was that had the word "Fuck" in
it. Before Pink Floyd's "Speak to me" there was Joni's "Woman of heart and
mind" and before that was Jefferson Airplane's "We can be together".Were
there any songs before that?
