Another fragment, from Dane Coolidge's novel "The Scalp-Lock" (1924):

        While you are all so frisky
        I will sing you a song.
        I will take a horn of whisky
        To help the song along.
        It is all about a top screw
        When he is busted flat,
        Sitting around town in his Mexicano hat.

The first quatrain suggests that the song (and lost melody?) was inspired by "Marching Through Georgia."

And that's all I've discovered in four years....
