Did a quick google search and found Our Singing Country which has a verse of Lynchburg Town that seem to be a close match. Lynchburg Town appears to have about as many versions as there are people who sing it.

Nope but it's oak with me if it's pine with you

My grandfateh was a master of doggerel verse and song. I cannot remember all of them and he has been dead thirty years. He died at the age of 99.

I want help in finishing this poem/song

Up a scyamore, down a pine,
I Split my bretches right a hind.
I Asked my sister, good and kind,
To patch my bretches right a hind.

Does anyone know more?
