Hi!
The thing that really amazes me is that nothing is new under the sun. My father had a 78 recording of this by (New Zealander) Tex Morton, who was popular in Australia in the '40's and '50's playing "hillbilly" music.
I have sung this song for as long as I can remember, and have tailored verses to the audience my "bush" band was playing to. It is the kind of song suitable for such manipulation!
Regards Chris
