Right -- I mentioned I found several different songs with the same title -- also different story lines. Anyone run into the one Bill, our Nottingham town tax collector was forced to learn (and sing in a distinctive way) in 3rd grade back in the '50s? He was told it was an old song from Vermont.

The Tune the Old Cow Died Of 

The farmer had an inquest held
To see what killed the cow
The jury sat [something, something]
The verdict was
'Twas the tune the old cow died of.

Anyone know any more of THIS one?!?
