GUEST,Alice There's a Conley These Rocks (2) There's a Conley in These Rocks 12 Aug 20

I am looking for a traditional song. (lyrics and tune) Any similar song could be it! My grandfather, in West Virginia, used to sing it. It seems to be American, (because of the gun reference)... but songs changed a lot as they traveled back and forth across the ocean from the British Isles. This is the only portion of lyrics that the older members of my family could remember. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

"There's a Conley in these rocks
He steals old guns, that's got no locks"

"I wish old Conley I could see
I'd shoot him or he'd shoot me”
