Hi tahnks,

I did look through the DT briefly. I was curious how about this set of lyrics and where they originated:

Railroad, steamboat, river and canal
Yonder comes a sucker and he stole my gal
And she's gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone,
And I wish her a last farewell.

The lyrics are combined at times with the Four (Two) in the Middle lyrics:

Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Two in the middle and I can't get around
Two in the middle and I can't dance Josie
Hello Susan Brown

Four in the Middle usually starts with the Pretty Little Pink/ Coffee Grows play party lyrics:

Coffee grows on white oak trees,
The river flows with brandy-o.
Go choose the one to roam with you,
As sweet as striped candy-o.

When did these get connected?
