Burl Ives sang a song that he called "Saturday Night" that surely must be derived from "Woody Knows Nothing." It's on his "Poor Wayfaring Stranger" CD: SATURDAY NIGHT Saturday night and Sunday too True love on my mind But Monday morning's gettin' soon The white man's got me gwine Blue jay pulled a four-horse plow Sparrow, why can't you? 'Cause my legs is little an' long And they might get broke in two Red bird's sittin' on a sycamore limb Singin' out his soul A big black snake crawled up that tree And swallowed that poor boy whole Wild geese flyin' through the air Through the sky of blue They're now a-floating where the south wind blows So why not me and you?
