This is a version by Gary Davis. I think he did it differently each time but this is what I hear in one version:

Spoken

Now this gal married a man named Peter.
It was known that Peter could break any woman he got his hands on. But this here is one gal he got hold of he couldn't do a thing with y'understand. And when he died, this here is the condolience they said over him.

Sung

Old man Peter was a mighty man

CHO: Where'd you get your liquour from
Man downtown.

Combed his head in a fryin' pan

CHO
He washed his face in a wagon wheel
CHO
He died with a toothache in his heel
CHO
Sally, wher'd you get your liquour from
(Spoken) I'm gonna kill you
Oh, you pitiful woman ????clown
CHO
CHO
((Spoken) Where'd you get it, I say.
Oh, you pittiful woman get drunk and clown
Sally you just ain't no doggon good
CHO
I would get rid of you sally if I could
CHO
Ol'mule kicks the ol' cow prance
CHO
Ol' sow whistle while the little pigs dance

CHO (PLayed but not sung)
Sally, Where'd you get it?
I say, Where'd you get it?
Oh, yo' is staggerin now. Sally, where'd you get it.
Oh shucks (2X) You're staggerin now ...you old heffer.
I come in one evening about half-past four
CHO

Sal had got all my food and stowed it all over the floor.
CHO
There's just one thing, Sally I'm gon' to do
CHO
I'm gonna get me a woman treat me better than you.
CHO
Sally, where'd you get it, Oh, where'd you get it
Oh you missub'le woman get drunk and clown
CHO
CHO
Where'd you get it, Oh, where'd you get it.
you're staggerin' you old heffer you.
Sally went up in the hill with a glass in her hand
CHO
So she could find another drunk so she can come back andraise some more sand
Where'd you get it?
Where'd you get it (3X). Oh you pitifull woman get drunk and clown.
CHO
Where'd you get it, tell me where'd you get it. Oh you're staggern.

Murray

Joe, there are many more versions of the lyrics online. There seems not to be a definitive take, so finding the 'original' could prove to be a task and a half.
