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.
