I recall most of the words I learned from a 78rpm record purchased in 1952 (sorry about the missing word in V2/L1).

Take a girl like you down to New Orleans,
Dress you in a dress of red,
Buy you a house at the back of town, Baby,
Buy you a folding bed, yes, buy you a folding bed.

Buy you an expensive diamond ring,
Buy you a dress of blue,
Buy you a pair of high heeled shoes, Baby,
I'll be true to you, yes, I'll be true to you.

Tell me where did you get that pretty little dress,
Shoes that you wear so fine?
Well I got that dress from a railroad man,
Shoes from a man down the line, yes, shoes from a man down the line.
