A bit of background here: My mother lives in St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada - noted, among other things, as being the place where the famous Jumbo the elephant of Barnum-&-Bailey's, imported from England, lost his life. He is remembered there by a life-size statue overlooking the highway, and plenty of folklore and stories.   While visiting last year we were discussing the story and Mom dredged this little song up from her childhood memories. She tells me that Gran taught it to her.



Jumbo says to Alice,
"I love you."
Alice says to Jumbo,
"I don't believe you do!
For if you really loved me,
As you ought to do,
You wouldn't've gone to Americay
And left me in the zoo!"
