In case it helps, the song is the first recording on this link: https://archive.org/details/HHFBC_tapes_D29A/D29A+sideA.mp3

(I may have a few gentle corrections to the lyrics, if you're interested, but nothing that would change the meaning of the song significantly. I'll have to listen again more closely later today.)

I did find one song in the Max Hunter Collection and the University of Arkansas' Ozark Folksong Collection which matches it, referred to as either the Drunkard's Song or In a Hog Pen. It was sung by Fred High of High, Arkansas twice; once on February 12, 1958, and once on April 15th, 1950. I'll post them both in separate messages.
