The Red Clay Ramblers recorded the blue jay/black snake verse, with the addition of something similar to Barbara's 'geese' verse, under the title of 'Blue Jay' on their 'Twisted Laurel' album. They segued it with a bouncy instrumental of 'The Girl I Left Behind Me' - nice!

Blue jay pulled a four horse plough
Sparrow why can't you?
Cause my legs is little and long
And they might get broke in two
Red bird sittin' on a sycamore limb
Singin' out his soul
Big black snake crawled up that tree
And swallowed that poor boy whole
Wild geese flyin' through the air
Through the sky of blue
They're now a-floatin' where the south wind blows
So why not me and you?
