In the mid 1950s, we used to sing at cubs/scouts in South Bristol (UK): ...One man and his dog, Spot, Bottle of pop, Old tin can and a frying pan, Sausage roll, stick it up your all (hole?) Ashton Gate and a 10 pound weight (wait?) Old Harry Dolman had a cow Went to mow a meadow. Harry Dolman was a longtime chairman of Bristol City Football Club, whose home ground was/is Ashton Gate. Don't know the relevence of the "10 pound weight" or "wait". Never saw the words written down, but just learned it by ear, hence the possible alternative words.
