The way I have the song it was
Peg-legged bandit from Van Horn Peak and a mean-eyed rat was he.
He had one leg and the other was a peg and he lived in a hollow tree.
He never came out till the dark of the moon and his face was never shown.
But you could hear his peg leg click, click, click as he ran down the road.
Somewhere, I have the rest of the words and if and when I can dig them out, I will send you the rest.
I am looking for a copy of the record or some recording to this and many other old songs. You can e-mail me at ilene1221@hotmail.com
