Well I don't know about a complete song, but well try a verse or two of Crawshaw Bailey, with an amended chorus.

In best South Welsh Dialect of course.

"Now a man called Peter Wright,
With the Law he had a fight,
The jail house he did merit,
For possession of a Ferret.

Have you ever saw, etc.

Have you ever saw,
Have you ever saw.
Such a funny thing,
As Californian Law.

Now in bad old years ago.
To Australia you will go,
For a Ferret's basic habits,
Is hunting of the rabbits

Have you ever saw, etc.

For the rich mans game reserve,
From the Poachers he'll preserve,
In Tasmania you will,
For the poaching of the Game.

Have you ever saw, etc.

But in California's sunny climes.,
In this year of modern times,
For a felon you will make.
If a ferret you do take.

Have you ever saw, etc.

I wonder, I really do wonder.
