Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!! I've been looking for these words for the last few years.

I sang this song when I went to first grade in 1946. My teacher made me quit singing it as she wasn't fond of some of the language. My aunts had the 78 in their collection and they lived with my grandparents. I thought Phil Harris or Frankie Laine sang it as I remember Mule Train and Darktown Poker Club were also popular at the same time (looking in the wrong places). Now that I have the words the entire tune comes back too! Guest Mike has all of the words just the way I remember them.
