Joe, That's great information. Thanks for the link to the original recording. I see Jim Fullen is active once again after retiring from his college teaching career. He has a Web site called Jim Fullen Music. I'm guessing we could just ask him what the lyrics are.

My friend and former bandmate, Dr. Richard Hood, taught at Dennison and lived in Newark, OH, before joining the faculty of the Bluegrass Music program at ETSU in Johnson City, TN. It's likely that Richard and Jimmie John crossed paths. I'll ask him.
