Subject: does anyone know anything about a song
Does anyone know anything about a song that says

“I was born about 4000 years ago
Oh there's nothing in this world I do not know"...

Another stanza is

Queen Elizabeth fell death in love with me.
We were married in Milwaukee secretly.
Oh, I took her and I shook her
And I went with General Hooker
To fight the mosquitoes down in Tennessee.

I believe it is a very old Tennessee folk song

I appreciate any assistance

Thanks
Stacey
