So nice to have this thread refreshed and significantly added to.

I also learned the other verse mentioned above a bit differently, as an extra verse for "Shady Grove" or "Get Along Home, Cindy":

I'm gonna get some sticks and stones;
Build my chimney higher,
So when that old Tom Cat comes by,
He won't put out my fire!

Cheerily,
