In regard to Jim Dixon's reply about the last verse being a "floater": Jeff Davis was a gentleman; Abe Lincoln was a fool. Jeff Davis rode a dapple gray; Abe Lincoln rode a mule. I recognize that verse from a song called "OLD ABE LIES SICK". Old Abe lies sick, Old Abe lies sick, Old Abe lies sick in bed. He's a lying dog, he's a crying dog [and I wish he was dead]. Jeff Davis rides a big white horse, Abe Lincoln rides a mule. Jeff Davis is a gentleman, Abe Lincoln is fool. Another version adopted after Lincoln's assassination replaces "and I wish he was dead" with "with murder in his head".
