Not sure if this question belongs here or in a new thread, but a dim childhood memory tells me when we "almost" finished singing MY HOME'S IN MONTANA with the lines:

When I have partaken of beans and of bacon
I whistle a merry old song of the trail.

We sang and/or whistled an anticlimax sort of line to an entirely different tune:

There's an old trail, winding o'er the prairie
To that old girl [gal?] of mine.

Does anyone know if this was a common ending or a part of a different song? Are there more lyrics that go with this line? And how can I find them?

Since this is my first visit to this site and I'm unsure about practices, would it be against the rules to request a reply directly to retzerk@cox.net? If so, delete this paragraph when posting.
