Mama, don't you whop little Buford.
Mama, don't you bash Buford's head.
Mama, don't you whop little Buford.
I'd rather you shot him instead.

This odd song (which I have always assumed was about a particularly worthless hound) was responsible for the name I chose for a dog I once owned. I got to thinking about him a few days ago and the song popped up. While I strongly disagree with the general premise of the song, it still hangs in my memory. Does anyone know where it came from and if there is more to it than just this verse?
