In my memories of the early 50s, Lee Moore's version was the same as the one posted above, although I don't believe he had all the verses given. Oh- and he sang, Well, ol' Lee Moore had troubles of his own...

Lee Moore was a 'nighthawk' dj, starting at 1:00 on WWVA, Wheeling, West Virginia. His theme tune was a recording of 'Little Home in West Virginia', a tune I loved. My youngest brother would set his alarm for just before 1:00 then wake me in my room to come over and listen to the tune. Then we would slog back to bed.
