I think that must be it, the Burl Ives version. I don't remember all of those words but they seem to fit the tune I have in my head. :) Dad had a lot of early Burl Ives albums and song books around.

Thanks, Bill!

Meanwhile, I posted the words to a Puget Sound knockoff by Ivar Haglund of the 12 Days of Christmas over on the Seattle Folklife thread. I stumbled upon it when I was going through his notebook of words to some of the early songs he learned.
