Ruthie, you would be best trying to track down the album that Murray has indicated. It seems you are looking for a specific set of words and an interchange between a man and a woman. The oldtimey musicians used it predominantly as a dance tune and, consequently, the verses vary widely from one recording to another, apart from the 'Fly away my pretty little miss/Fly away my daisy etc' refrain. But don't let that stop you investigating the music of the Skillet Lickers - it's lovely, lovely stuff.
