Here's the way Iremember it from my boyhood here in Texas, 60 + years ago. Jack McGuire jumped in the fire The fire's so hot, he jumped in the pot The pot's so little, he jumped in the kettle The kettle's so black, he jumped in a crack The crack's so high, he jumped in the sky The sky's so blue, he jumped in the slough The slough"s so deep, he jumped in the creek The creek's so shallow, he jumped in the tallow The tallow's so hard, he jumped in the lard The lard's so soft, he jumped in the loft The loft's so rotten, he jumped in the cotton The cotton's so white, he stayed all night And smoked old Jack McGuire's pipe
