My father recited this to me when I was achild. He was born in Texas in the 20s. His family came from Georgia, Carolinas and Virginia,

Old Granny Dyer, she jumped in the fire,
The fire was so hot, she jumped in the pot,
The pot was so black, she jumped in the crack,
The crack was so deep, she jumped in the creek,
The creek was so shalllow, she jumped in the tallow,
The tallow was so soft, she jumped in the loft,
The loft was so rotten, she jumped in the cotton,
The cotton was so white, she jumped alll night...
