Subject: Lyr Req: Ballad Of Peg Legged Pete

Looking for the lyrics to the Ballad of Pegleg Pete. Around 1950 USA country and western.
There was a bad ol' bandit from the Banhorn Creeks,
and a mean-eyed rat was he.
He had one good leg and the other was a peg,
and he lived in a holler tree....
Anyone know this one? Thanks.
