Here's the last two:

Now I'm just a city dude a-livin' out of town.
Everybody knows me as Moonshine Brown.
I make the beer and I drink the slop.
Got nine little orphans that call me pop.
I'm patriotic-- raisin' soldiers, Red Cross nurses.

Ain't no use me workin' so hard.
I got a gal in the rich folks' yard.
They kill a chicken, she sends me the head.
She thinks I'm workin'. I'm a-layin' up in bed,
Just dreamin' about her-- havin' a good time-- two other women.

Some verses similar to other songs e.g. "How many biscuits can you eat?" No info on author or when written, sorry.
