The thing has yet to stride forth entire from the swirling mists of memory, but your line from the chorus, "An when I die, I ain't a-gonna cry, cause I got me a purty woman's love." did bring forth this scrappet of verse: "A dollar's worth a'beans, A new pair a'jeans And a woman to cook and warsh...and sing; And when I die..." I seem to recall a rendition from a children's record years ago, but I'll have to check with my little brother. He's the "musical moke" of the family and will remember this ditty if anyone I know can. Meanwhile, perhaps our own Gene Graham, living treasure and country-folk maven extraordinaire might have a line on where this tune originated. |

From: Joe Offer Well, I think the song is "Wringle Wrangle," sung by Fess Parker.Thankfully, my memory of the song is fading, but this is how I think it goes: Wringle, wrangle, ding-a-dong-dangleNever could figure out whether the object of his affection was the woman or the horse. Anybody got a Disney fakebook so we can get the straight scoop on this one? The movie was that 1956 classic, Westward Ho, the Wagons! Whoop! Haaaaaa! -Joe Offer- |

The Wagons, has always been dear to me because the movie was one of the first I ever saw. I can't remember if I saw it on TV or at the movies - if the movies, it was probably the first movie I ever saw there. I have always thought that the melody for Wringle Wrangle has something in common with the March "British Grenadiers". Don |
