I've heard one of the verses above a little differently via Frank Warner:

If I had a scolding wife,
Sure as you are born,
I'd tote her down to New Orleans
Trade her off for corn.

Another favorite verse from the same source:

Love it is a killing thing,
Beauty is a blossom,
If you want your finger bit,
Poke it at a possum.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
