I sure do appreciate the input here. Just what I had hoped for. Thorp says he first heard sung by John Collier, Cornudas Mountain, New Mexico, July 1899. I was wondering if there might be an earlier mention of it. I don't know about singing it to Polly Wolly Doodle but will look into Son of a Gamboleer. So there's this saddle rig that picks up all sorts of brush and such. It's gets packed with that and sand too. Sand packed... Sand Stacked. OK I'm reaching. Rex
