Burl Hammons (Pocahontas County WV, 1908-1993) fiddled a tune he called "Black cat kicked out the gray cats eye."
It was not the Tasmanian tune nor Highwoods' "Gray cat on a tennesse farm" tune.
As usual, his sister Maggie Hammons Parker knew some words.
As far as I can tell they are:

Hie diddle diddle and the dancing pie
the black cat kicked out the gray cat's eye
in the spring of the year the coons eat frog
give me the one that 'cha call bill boggs

Maggie was the queen of mondegreens.
