I don’t know what to make of this; it does concern a wedding to a cross-eyed pet, but otherwise, the similarity seems pretty slender.

From Folk-Songs of the South, edited by John Harrington Cox (Harvard University Press, 1925), page 510:


A GLORIOUS WEDDING
Communicated by Miss Sallie Evans, Elkins, Randolph County; obtained from Miss Eleanor Keim, who got it from Lawson Ketterman, who learned it from his father.

1. I will sing you a song of a comical style.
If it don't make you laugh, it will surely make you smile.
It's about a wedding, a glorious affair.
As I was the bridegroom, I happened to be there.

CHORUS: Up on the mountains, underneath the ground,
Where the sweet tobacco never can be found,
As long as I remember, I never shall forget
The night that I was married to the cross-eyed pet.

2. All about the place I will tell you, if I can.
I'll start at the commencement, and stop where I began.
Cider and beer on the table were put,
As much as you could see with both eyes shut.

3. Old John McGill got as full as an egg.
He fell in the corner and broke his wooden leg.
He shouted for a doctor; "Shut up," said Johnny Green.
"You don't want a doctor; it's a jointer that you need."

4. One fellow there, called Bottle-nosed Dick,
Said he would show them a conjuring trick.
By picking up a glass of another man's beer,
Before you could wink your eye, he'd make it disappear.

5. The owner of the beer was so pleased with the joke
That he hoped Dick would die with a paralytic stroke.
They habbered and they jabbered and from words came to blows.
They kicked one another till the nails fell off their toes.
