Here's a very different version of the text (I think) that I stumbled upon by happenstance today, as related by Roanoke, Virginia resident Lycurgus Drumheller in 1939:

I know you have played ‘Killyme Kranky.’ It was more like a march and went like this:

Farewell Dick and farewell Tom,
Farewell old Aunt Franky;
Every time I think of you
I’ll wind up Killyme Kranky.

If you have been where I have been,
And seen the sights that I have seen;
Four and twenty girls,
All dancing Killyme Kranky.
Roanoke, story of county and city p. 126
