We sang this song at family reunions as kids. My mom taught it to us. It was our talent! Our version went like this:

I grew up in the mountains, out where the snakes have legs,
Where the bullfrogs speak plain English, and the roosters lay square eggs.
I shaved my beard and mustache the morning I was born.
I beat up on my old man, and drank his rye and corn.

Chorus:
Oh I'm a truthful fellow, they call me truthful Bill,
I never told a falsehood and I guess I never will.

One time when I was shipwrecked down on the southern seas,
I was taken by some cannibals and tied up to a tree.
They sang and beat their tom toms and they got mighty rough
But they said I wouldn't make good stew cause I was to darn tough.

Chorus:

I took a trip to Paris in my air-o-plane, I had a good time in Paris and started back again,
When I got halfway over the darn old engine balked, I got so darn disgusted I got right out and walked.

Chorus:
