Years ago I heard the song above sung by Roy Harris. I can remember one verse and the chorus. Does anyone know any more verses?

Along came a man with a horse and a gig
He's wanting to market his old fat pig
The pig took the ointment and let out a squeal
There were forty-eight piggies a-running to heel
With a randelum fandelum hi diddle dandelum
Randelum fandelum hi diddle day

The song was about some wonderful ointment that cured every disease under the sun

Thanks Bill

The song is usually called "The Family Ointment" and the disease cured is infertility!
