Thanks, Jim! Reading the lyrics you posted helped me to figure out what Tommy Jarrell was singing - on the American Folk Collection CD called Classic Old Time Music he sings them in this order:

I'm going to western country now...

Sixteen horses in my team...

Hitch the Logan in the lead...

How you make your living now...

He leaves out the verse about the little black dog, and ends it with:

You can't stay here if you don't shuck corn...


Appreciate all the help! Suzanne
