Been doing this song for years and 1st. heard it from a David Bromberg LP years ago. The meter of the words is a lot of fun once you get use to it. But Roy Bookbinder has a ton of fun on this song.
The songbook Rise Up Singing also has the words to this one. Its a good book to have around, kind of like a National Geographic magazines, you just want to keep it around.
Hope this helps.
