When I was a good deal younger, my wife and I visited Richard Chase in Banner Elk NC. Richard told us that he had changed "hush your chattering tongue" to "hush your flattering tongue," because "chattering tongue" didn't make any sense. But you can find "hush your chattering tongue" in THe Taming of the Shrew. Also the verse
There's pedlars and tinkers and boys behind the plow
Lolly True dum true dum, Lolly True dum day
There's pedlars and tinkers and boys behind the plow
Lordy mercy mammy, THE FIT COMES ON ME NOW
Richard told us that THE FIT COMES ON ME NOW was the name of a dance tune.
I suspect that the verse



Oh, pity my condition, just like you would your own
For fourteen long years I've slept in bed alone.

was too rough for some and got Bowdlerized.
