Carol, I don't know the tune. I think I've heard the recording maybe twice on the radio, many years ago when I had to work in Bakersfield (out of range of rock 'n' roll and NPR). I didn't come across it again until I found the lyrics online a while back. Watch this space, though. Our amazing friend Gene has a vast collection of country novelty songs, and he's likely to post it for us at his Website.
