Okay, but what about the version that follows a very similar story (and some lines) but starts out:

"I came on the river in 1804
I carved my name on the high rocky shore
Consorted with gamblers, raftsmen, and whores
My name is Jack Haggarty; I'm the pride of Kilgore.

He lays all the blame on "her mother, Jane Tucker" too.
