Here's another branch of the family tree:


THEY'RE MOVING WILLIE'S GRAVE TO BUILD A SEWER
As sung by Rick Fay on "Rick Fay Live in 1991! The Dixieland We Love" (2011)

SPOKEN INTRO: Here's a little tune now that I learned from Monte Ballou, Portland, Oregon, the great Castle Jazz Band. It's called "They're Moving Willie's Grave to Build a Sewer." *

They're movin' Willie's grave to build a sewer.
They're movin' Willie's grave to dig a ditch.
Well, old Willie was a good boy up till the day that he took sick.
Now to dig him up for sewage is a doggone dirty trick.
Well, why don't they leave him in the graveyard?
A better place I know there could not be,
{But I just don't think they oughter
Fill his grave with muddy water.}
They're diggin' Willie's grave to build a sewer.

[Repeat, replacing the words in {…} with:]

{Well, I've really got it right.
They're replacin' him with pipe.}
