This is kind of to the tune of Cotton Eyed Joe, I had it by Oscar Brand, I think.

There is one verse about

Had a little fight with my mother-in-law
and I pushed her into the Arkansas,
darned old lady knew how to swim,
she jumped right out and she pushed me in.

There is another verse that showed up in a version of Turkey in the Straw, which is what reminded me of this song in the first place, about the horse that wouldn't go ahead and wouldn't stand still.

Help? Thanks!
