I don't know about John Hartford, Kathleen Krull's book "Gonna Sing My Head Off" has the following lyrics.

Scraping up sand in the bottom of the sea, Shiloh, Shiloh.

Scraping up sand in the bottom of the sea, Shiloh, Lisa Jan.

Ch: Oh, how I love her, O, Liza Jane. Oh, how I love her, goodbye Liza Jane.

v3. A hump-back mule I'm bound to ride.

v4. Hopped up a chicken and he flew upstairs.
