I need this information about the song, because, as has been pointed out, there are various versions floating around to the same melody. The song I am actually presenting is "The Fifty States That Rhyme", but I know it has the same melody as "Do Your Ears Hang Low". I learned this song years ago in elementary school, and I now am giving a class presentation on it. Thank you for the responses this far, and I still will appreciate any more information that is available. And, by the way Joe Offer, yes I am old enough to be talking about a potential disreputable song!
