How about Hank Snow's "The Night I Stole Old Sammy Morgan's Gin":
Someone else had took my head and left an elephant's there instead
On the morning after drinking Sammy's gin.

Or Ryan Fancy's "Bright Silvery Light Of The Moon":
There upon a chair sat her teeth and golden hair
      or in another verse....
There upon a peg there hung a wooden leg
      Or as it ends.......
It would break a million hearts for to see all her spare parts
By the bright silvery light of the moon.
