Great work, cnd. Other writers have since used fictional towns in which to put poems and stories, and certainly Stanton was wise to do so considering the sharpness of his wit and the barbs in some phrases. The Ozark Highballers do a version. Interesting to see the development of the song. https://soundcloud.com/seth-shumate/the-ozark-highballers-rise-when-the-rooster-crows I wonder if the odd timing would be of any help tracing its lineage ??
