I'm looking for old time tunes that have only one line of lyrics - like they're primarily an instrumental fiddle/banjo tune, but at some point, there's one phrase of words that's sung/called out. I feel like I've heard songs like this before, but can't think of any at the moment.
Thanks so much, all!

Not exactly what you describe, but Eddie Rabbitt's "I Love a Rainy Night" repeats the title rather a lot.

Breaking up Christmas. I know it's not one line, but what's sung seems to come at various intervals in the tune.
