Does anyone know the origins of this song or other lyrics?

"Her name was Slough-foot Sue
She had a face like a horse and buggy.
She was chief engineer at the shirttail factory,
Down by the riverside view.
Her form was all she had,
She had a face like a soft-shell crab.
Every night she'd tussle with her homemade bustle,
By gosh, that gal was bad!"

Sung to my by my grandmother, b. 1914
