I don't know who wrote your verses, but I know Paul Clayton added one verse that I really like to the usual ones that you'll find in the DT (which I learned from Walt Robertson in Seattle in about 1950, with minor word variations, such as there being "snakes on the mountains and eels in the sea"). Paul's verse, which he gave me in about 1955, went:

I wake up in the morning,
Haven't got a dime,
I don't know where I'm going,
But I'm gonna take my time,
And it looks like, I ain't never gonna cease,
My wanderin'.

I still sing that one!

Sandy
