Adam catched Eve by the fur below (furbelow)... And that's the oldest catch I know.
A probably-18th-century round, dirty joked based on the pun of "furbelow" (a ruffly part of a woman's clothing) and the unmentionable "fur." A catch is a kind of round usually resulting in a surprise ending, and sung by men's singing societies.

but never even caught her name..."
