Subject: RE: Help: Looking for info on 'found' song
Well, here's another person's memory (Pete Collins of Kentucky) of the song, who attributes it to "a previous Poet Laureate of Kentucky by the name of J. COTTEN NOE":

Tip Sams had twins and a razor-backed sow,
Five dogs and a mule and an old roan cow,
A bone-spavined filly and a one room house
And a little wrinkled Mammy, just as meek as a mouse.
