The melody at Levy is nearly identical to that on the recording, and maybe I will do a MIDI from it and submit both versions.

Verses from the Levy item:

1. Keep your hat upon your head (3x) for you will want it when you're dead.

2. Oh keep your nose upon your face (3x) for anywhere else is out of place.

3. Oh keep your coat upon your back (3x) that you may be off on the other track.

4. Oh keep your pants upon your legs (3x) that you may hang 'em on the golden pegs.

5. Oh keep your shoes upon your feet (3x) that you may walk in the golden street.

6. Oh stick your toe nails in the ground (3x) that when you're wanted you may be found.

7. Oh keep your money in your pocket (3x) so when it's wanted you've not forgot it.

8. 'Twixt you and I, I really think (3x) it's pretty near time to take a drink.

~Susan
