I know this thread has been inactive for quite some time, but I thought I might add my two cents. I have heard Eli Smith and his band the Dust Busters use the eighteen pounds of meat a week verse from Way Down the Old Plank Road (famously by Uncle Dave Macon). Also, I know it's splitting hairs, but I have also heard the Dust Busters sing the first verse as "Used to go a-courtin', didn't know how, now my love got marries, got no honey babe now."
