The Folk Music Index attributes GIDDYAP NAPOLEON to Jacob Kaufman. It also mentions 2 printed sources: Traditional Music in America and My Pious Friends and Drunken Companions and More Pious Friends; and 2 recordings, one by the Double Decker String Band, titled GIDDYAP NAPOLEON, and one by Riley Puckett, titled WAL, I SWAN. (Puckett was, for part of his career, a member of the Skillet Lickers.)

Other sources say there were versions recorded by Zeke Winters (a.k.a. Big Bill Campbell), and by The Pennsylvanians, both titled WAL, I SWAN.

Barnes&Noble has a sound sample of GIDDYAP NAPOLEON recorded by The Sons of the Pioneers.

Barnes&Noble also has a sound sample of GIDDAP NAPOLEAN (sic) by the Skillet Lickers.
