Thanks Jerry,

My Uncle will sing just a verse or two--just out of the blue—and he gets impatient when he is asked to sing it a second time, so I have learned to grab what I can. He only sang a couple of verses, but I'm glad to know the other verses you provided.

He also sang a little song that went something like this,

I went walking through the graveyard to see folks fine
But when a black cat crossed my path, I changed my mind.
A fool is a fool...
A mule is a mule until he dies.

I missed some of the words on a fool is a fool, but think he was implying even a fool can change his mind about going places (the graveyard) when a mule is a mule and wouldn't. It could be a separate little lyric; I just don't know for sure.

His other song ends with "You can't stop me from dreaming." I am trying to find it, but haven't posted it in a New Thread where all can see it yet. The song was about a man that told his girlfriend/lover that she may not let him kiss her, etc. and she was the boss tonight, but he would win the fight as she couldn't stop him from dreaming.

If you have ever heard any tidbits on the above, please let me know. You seem to have a good collection OR know where to find these obscure songs!!

My Uncle (Poppa) is still in the hospital, but doing a little better. He wants to come home, but the Drs. tell him not until lungs clear up. I am slowly getting all his songs typed up and hope to give him a copy in a couple of days. Way Out West in Kansas Thanks, Way out West in Kansas
