Been trying to find words for this song for years. My mother learned song sometime between 1925 and 1928 when she helped with a YWCA camp near Douglas, AZ. I was born in 1928, and she used to sing this to me when I was a small girl. By this time about the only verse I remebered was "Adam was the first man that ever was invented,----". So glad I found this site and refreshed my memory. Didn't realized there were such a variety of versions. Made my day to find this and know others also have heard it.
