My dad, an old goat-roper from Kingman, Kansas, (1928-1982), won prizes at community sing-a-longs with 'Old Shep' and other favorites, and disappointed my uncle by winning one with this song about a guy who had a girl so big he had to hug her in sections - marking off a piece with chalk, then moving on. The onliest part I know is the tag, where the guy meets someone else 'Comin' round the other way (He had a roadmap) Comin' round the other way (He was exhausted)...

'Ppreciate the help.

If it helps, I had a 78 by Hoagy Carmichael, dated back to the very early 1930's. Carmichael once said he was the "greatest writer of non-hits".

I like Clancy Hayes and Bob Scobey's version best, although I love Hoagy, too.. I have both..
