Sally in the Ally Holy Modal Rounders

Sally in the ally sifting garbage
Sally in the ally sifting junk
Sally in the ally sifting garbage
Sally in bed with a blue eyed punk

Sally in the ally sifting garbage
Sally in the ally sifting trash
Sally in the ally sifting garbage
Sally in bed about to crash

Sally in the ally sifting garbage
Sally in the ally sifting shit
Sally in the ally sifting garbage
Sally in bed without a hit

Sally on the seashore thinks its stupid
Sally in the mountains thinks its lame
Sally in the country thinks it's crazy
Sally in the ally shame, shame, shame

Sally in the kitchen never happen
Sally in the nursery not this time
Sally in the jailhouse if they catch her
Sally in the ally doing fine

Sally takes her pleasure where she pleases
Sally gets her lovin where she can
Sally is a natural born child of Jesus
Sally is a match for any man

Sally in the ally often loses
Sally in the ally often wins
She needs a man but never chooses
Sally plays best when the game begins

Harpgirl-

Do you think this is a version of Sally Ann- "down in the garden sifting sand" or is an original compostion?

I am very curious if the fiddle part is based on an older tune. It feels like one of those melodies that seems discovered rather than crafted.
