Hi,

Tennessee Ernie Ford's "Fly Around My Pretty Little Pink" on "Gather Ground" in 1959 also had Burn's stanza:

I reckon you think, my pretty little pink,
That I can't live without you
I'll let you know before I go
That I care very little about you.

Although "Swing a Lady" (see Sharp EFFSA II, 1932 as collected in KY in 1917 and Ritchie's family version) does not have the "Fly Around" stanza, it's part of the extended Seventeen family. Here are the first two stanzas:

Cedar Swamp (Swing a Lady)- from Cora and Alice Turner of Pine Mountain, Kentucky, 1927.

Way down yonder in the cedar swamp,
The water's deep and muddy,
There I saw my pretty little miss,
There I kissed my honey.

"How old are you, my pretty little miss,
How old are you, my honey?
How old are you, my pretty little miss,
"Sweet sixteen next Sunday."

It's clear that Wheevily Wheat B from Texas (1916 Thompson's "Round the Levee") is closely related to "Swing a Lady" and it does have the "Fly around" stanza. Not sure if "Swing a Lady" (Round 7408) is in the DT.
