Here's song #170 from the Frank C. Brown Collection of North Carolina Folklore (Volume 3):

It's All Night Long

Of all the animals in this world,
I'd rather be a squirrel,
I'd climb up on a telephone pole
And peep all over the world.
It's all night long.
It's all night long

Singer: Miss Kate S. Russell
