Subject: RE: Tune Req: I'm not a pheasant plucker...
This is one possible verse to the old timey bluesy tune "Wild About My Lovin'", which probably dates back to the 40's at least, at a guess; I know jugbands were doing it in the 60's (I was in one). I base my guesstimate on the first verse which starts:

"Hello, Central, what's the matter with your line?
I wanna talk to that good gal o' mine"...

Which puts it about the same time as "Hello there Central, give me Doctor Jazz" and similar songs from before the automatic dialing circuit wasx invented.

All the verse are similar. For example:

"I ain't no farmer, no farmer's son;
But I can plow your furrow til that farmer comes."

Regards,
