Well, I got a reply from a USENET group with an MP3 from and old LP... evidently https://www.discogs.com/Pete-Seeger-Songs-Of-The-USA/release/9666534 ... but many of his albums were re-released on other labels.

Here's the transcription:

One big fat hen
Two ducks
Three plump partridges
Four sca-reeming wild geese
Five limerick oysters
Six bones from a Macedonian horse
Seven sailing ships sailing from Orinoco to Madagascar on Prince Thegar's wedding day
Eight elegant elephants embarking for Europe
Nine nimble noblemen nonchalantly nibbling nonpareils
Ten tipsy tailors timidly torturing a terrified Titmouse
Eleven Corinthian columns careening cautiously, closely contiguous to the covered catacombs of the Caspian sea
Twelve turbulent Tomtits twittering tumultously atop the tall Tamarak tree
Thirteen thirsty thespians thriftly thumbing through thirty thousand theological theses.


Ain't studious research rewarding? Only took me about 60 years,,,
