The Carter lyrics can be found at http://www.bluegrasswest.com/ideas/carter2.htm. I compared with the recording, and made a few changes.

GIVE HIM ONE MORE AS HE GOES
(Carter Family Version)

My sweetheart was a shy little miss
And one I fondly adore
And when you ask her for a kiss
She'll give you just one and no more.
   She'll give you just one and no more
   She'll give you just one and no more
   And when I ask her for a kiss
   She'll give you just one and no more

Her dad was a feeling old man
He always had a feeling for me
I can tell you when this feeling began
When his daughter I first went to see.

I was bidding my sweetheart goodnight
In the usual manner you know
When a voice from the house said "Sic him Towse,
And give him one more as he goes!"
   "And give him one more as he goes
   And give him one more as he goes
   When a voice from the house said "Sic him Towse,
   And give him one more as he goes!"

It was over the garden wall
In a manner I'll tell you not slow
He exclaimed with a swear and his foot smote the air
"And I'll give him one more as he goes!"
   "I'll give him one more as he goes
   I'll give him one more as he goes"
   He exclaimed with a swear and his foot smote the air,
   "And I'll give him one more as he goes!"
