Well, hot diggity! Lookie here. Apparently it was in the move "The General's Daughter"......here are the lyrics:

She Lyin' Woman / Sea Lion Woman

Christine and Katherine Shipp, 1939

She Lyin' Woman / She Lyin'
She drank coffee / She Lyin'
She drank tea / She Lyin'
And he gamble lie / She Lyin'.
Way down yonder / She Lyin'
I'm going maul / She Lyin'
And the rooster crow / She Lyin'
And he got no lie / She Lyin'.
She Lyin' Woman / She Lyin'
She drank coffee / She Lyin'
She drank tea / She Lyin'
And she gamble lie / She Lyin'.
She Lyin' Woman / She Lyin'
She drank coffee / She Lyin'
She drank tea / She Lyin'
And a gamble lie / She Lyin'.
