The song is known in West Virginia as "Pretty Maumee," or "The Little Maumee." See J. H. Cox, 1927 (1967 Dover reprint), Folk-Songs of the South, no. 116, pp. 372-374.
Versions A and B have the line "Remember the maiden in the cocoanot grove," and C has "Till we come to the river where the cocoanuts grow." In this one (coll. 1916) is the verse:

"If you will agree, sir, to stay here with me,
I will teach you the language of the pretty Maumee,
And together we'll wander, and together we'll go,
Till we come to the river where the cocoanuts grow."


It would be nice if Joe would combine this thread with two others offering lyrics of the versions and historical data. Since he has nothing else to do- ha! The title of this thread hides content.
